It's just that it wasn't conveyed about the exact time of Pastor Gilbert's examination. Investigators will convey that. "We will check the exact schedule later. What is clear is that there are police reports, it means that there are reporters, then there are witnesses who are also prepared by the complainant, then there are people who are reported, but in some police reports there may also be reported in the investigation," he said. Previously, Ade had also conveyed that investigators would ask for information from Farhat Abbas. He is the reporting party in the alleged blasphemy case. "(Pemeriksaan pelapor) Minggu ini," kata Ade. Pastor Gilbert Lumoindong went viral because in his lecture he compared zakat between Muslims and Christians. From the video circulating on social media, Pastor Gilbert is considered to have insulted Islam because he only paid zakat 2.5 percent and boasted because Christians used to give up 10 percent. According to Gilbert, he said this when he mentioned the prayers of Muslims who must be pure first. "I was taught Islam cleanly before praying, washing everything. I said, you are 2.5 percent myself 10 percent," said Pastor Gilbert.

Gilbert also said that with 10 percent alms, Christians do not have to bother praying. They only sing while Muslims pray quite hard, because they have to fold their feet at the end of the day.
