Islamic Groups Imposing Tax On Christian 'Subjects'
Topics: Understanding Islam
Lets not hear anymore lies about the Islamists in Iraq not being peaceful and tolerant toward other religions. After all, as long as their non Muslim "subjects" pay a contribution to the jihad, they are "allowed to live" and practice their faith ...:
... the (non-Muslim) community is now being forced to pay the jizya, a "poll tax" requested from non Muslims according to the Koran, guaranteeing "protection" form the Islamic umma. The tax was once extracted by the Ottoman Empire until its collapse in 1918, but now Baghdad and Mosul's Mosques have ordered it be put in place again, "without revealing it to authorities".Given the Democrats' surrender strategy in Iraq and toward Iran, this could be coming to your neighborhood too. If you thought income tax is bad enough, you're not going to like paying jizya and kharaj (the land tax) just to have the right to live and practice your faith. In the medieval mind of the Islamist, it's fair, but in the mind of rational people, it's insane.... According to local Christians it really is a contribution to the holy war, which - the jihad maintains - will also protect their community from external aggression. The monies collected are then given over to Mosques, but "without the knowledge of authorities".
... Other accounts tell of letters being left in gardens or the entrance to Christian homes, notifying the families that they must leave their dwellings because they have been assigned to others, whose names and surnames are listed in black and white in the letters.
