Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Fitzgerald: The Jizyah continues to flow

Dec 18, 2007 5:59 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald

Topping the donors’ list [to the “Palestinians”] were the European Union, which pledged $630 million, the United States, with a $555 million pledge, and Saudi Arabia, which will donate $500 million. — from this news article

$555 million from the United States? And only $500 million from Saudi Arabia?

That’s a half-day’s revenues for Saudi Arabia. That’s it?

And what about Kuwait, the U.A.E., Qatar, Libya, and all the other Muslim oil states that have done nothing to deserve their fabulous wealth?

It is a great error for any Infidel state or people to supply what is seen, by Muslim recipients, and soon after comes to be treated by the Infidel donors themselves, as the due of the Muslims, owed to them by the Infidels — in other words, a classic payment of the Jizyah.
It is madness. It infuriates. If Congress can stop this 555 million dollar “donation” (as it is piously called) from the United States, it should. This has to stop because there is no need to transfer wealth to Arabs and Muslims when it is the Arabs and Muslims who keep prating of their unity — a unity in the desire to destroy Israel, or to push Islam until it everywhere dominates, a unity only of hatred for the Infidels. And yet, having received ten trillion dollars in unearned and unmerited wealth, those rich Arabs and Muslims do not share it with poorer Arabs and Muslims, but expect the Americans and other Infidels to support them. This assumption must end and so too should the cringing attitude of Western governments toward Muslims.

Presidential candidates of both parties should make an issue of this. It is the product of ignorance of Islam and of the attitudes of Islam, including the triumphalism and the desire to everywhere force Infidels to pay, in whatever form, that Jizyah. If those Infidels wish to save face by calling it “foreign aid,” the Muslims don’t care. They know that the Infidels are too scared to deny Muslims this aid. There was a brief, uncharacteristic halt after Hamas won the “Palestinian” elections, but only to the aid to the “Palestinians,” and not to Egypt, Pakistan, or that being lavished on corrupt Iraqis. Now, however, the spigot has been turned on again, and the “Protected People” have tugged at their forelocks in Paris.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and John Edwards have as much right as Romney and Giuliani and Huckabee and the others to ask aloud why the Americans have contributed more than a trillion dollars to Iraq, and hundreds of billions to Afghanistan, and $60 billion to Egypt, and $27 billion (the figure calculated by Selig Harrison) to Pakistan since 2001 alone, and billions to the “Palestinian Authority” — along with other billions sent by the Europeans. Many of those billions disappeared without a trace, when Arafat died. Where are those billions? And why is it that the “Palestinians,” who have received in aid, per capita, more than any other group in history, should continue to receive that aid? Why should they continue to receive it above all when the Slow Jihad boys have semaphored or said, in every forum, that they have no intention of making a permanent peace, but only a hudna, a hudna to be accompanied by demands so grotesque, so dangerous for Israel’s survival, that they can never or should never be met? The reason for the future breaching of that “truce treaty” is already contained in the proposals now being made.

When will the Infidels of threatened Europe begin to realize that they are no different from those of threatened Israel, but are just a little further down on the To-Do List?

How horrible it is that, with ten trillion dollars having been transferred since 1973 alone from the oil-consuming nations to the Muslim oil states, that now the profligate and ignorant and timid West is spending still more billions and tens and hundreds of billions. Western governments are spending all this money in the mistaken hope that “poverty” is what makes the “Palestinians” or any other Muslim Arabs insistent on waging war. It is not “poverty.” It is Islam.

The Infidels refuse to take Islam seriously. This incredible offer shows it. Utter folly. It disgusts. It maddens.
