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

ISIS begins collecting jizya from Christians in Mosul

Jun 21, 2014 6:28 pm By Robert Spencer

Isis fighters in Falluja“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29

Muslim spokesmen in the West routinely claim that this verse has no applicability in the modern world. Here are yet more Muslims who didn’t get that memo.

“ISIS Begins Imposing Poll Tax on Christians in Mosul,” AINA, June 21, 2014:

Baghdad (AINA) — According to Alsumaria News, an Arabic language website, the High Commission for Human Rights in Iraq has confirmed that ISIS has begun imposing the jizya, a poll tax, on Christian citizens in Mosul in an attempt to put pressure on them and displace them from the city. The Commission denounced this and called on the government and the international community to put an end to it.

A member of the Council of High Commission for Human Rights in Iraq, Salama AlKhafaji, stated in an interview that ISIS “is imposing on Christians a minimum payment of $250, with amount varying depending on the type of work/profession performed by Christian citizens.” She further said that “the economic situation in Mosul is extremely difficult, and there are no financial resources or job opportunities except for vegetable shops, any other businesses are non-existent. Citizens are at a loss now as to how to make ends meet; how can they pay those amounts to ISIS?”

Ms. AlKhafaji denounced “this work”, calling on the Iraqi government and the international community to “put an end to this matter.”

Sources in the Nineveh province confirmed on Friday that ISIS has begun imposing jizya on Christians in Mosul, so as not to kill them or seize their property.

    Crooks demanding protection money, nothing more.

    “Protection money”–tribute–how wonderful it is that wherever True Believers go, they extort, kidnap, or enslave, howsoever they fancy. Such mercy they shower upon the protected People of The Book. Surely they do the work of The Almighty! /sarc

    I often hear talk radio personalities speak of ‘radical muslims’. The problem isn’t radical muslims, it’s ALL muslims. The Koran is correctly quoted above. The Koran gives muslims three choices in dealing with infidels; they can tax us (jizya), they can enslave us, or they can kill us. That is the belief of ALL muslims, not just so-called ‘radidal muslims’. THEY ARE ALL RADICAL, OR THEY WOULDN’T BE MUSLIMS.

    ISIS begins collecting jizya from Christians in Mosul
    ………………………….

    This should surprise no one. ISIS has made it clear that they intended to set up an Islamic state—and what is more Islamic than oppressing, exploiting, and threatening Infidels?

    And the Jizya is *meant* to be crushing.

    As supremacist Muslims see it, there is no downside to this—the victims may find some way to scrape the money together and the Muslims have an unearned “payday”; or they may flee, and the are is rendered one step closer to being “Christlichrein” (rid of Christians), and Muslims can seize any goods and property they had to leave behind; or maybe the victims can do neither, in which case the Mohammedans have a prefect excuse to brutalize or murder them.

    God, I hate Islam.

      Really? You hate Islam? But don’t you remember, on Sept. 17, 2001, George W. Bush said “Islam is peace”. Haven’t you noticed all of the people in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Egypt driving around in psychedelic VW mini-vans with flowers in their hair?
