“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).
And Muhammad said: “Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war…When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them…. If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them. (Sahih Muslim 4294)
Not that this has anything to do with Islam. “Author’s journey inside ISIS: They’re ‘more dangerous than people realize,'” by Frederik Pleitgen, CNN, December 22, 2014:
(CNN) — Juergen Todenhoefer’s journey was a tough one: dangerous, but also eye-opening. The author traveled deep into ISIS territory — the area they now call their “caliphate” — visiting Raqqa and Deir Ezzor in Syria, as well as Mosul in Iraq.
Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, was taken by ISIS in a Blitzkrieg-like sweep in June.
Todenhoefer managed to visit the mosque there where the leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Bagdadi, gave his only public address.
And he saw the realities of daily life under ISIS, with all shops having to close for prayers in the middle of the day.
“There is an awful sense of normalcy in Mosul,” Todenhoefer said in an exclusive interview with CNN.
“130,000 Christians have been evicted from the city, the Shia have fled, many people have been murdered and yet the city is functioning and people actually like the stability that the Islamic State has brought them.”
Nonetheless, he says, there is an air of fear among residents: “Of course many of the them are quite scared, because the punishment for breaking the Islamic State’s strict rules is very severe.”…
“When we stayed at their recruitment house, there were 50 new fighters who came every day,” Todenhoefer said. “And I just could not believe the glow in their eyes. They felt like they were coming to a promised land, like they were fighting for the right thing.
“These are not stupid people. One of the people we met had just finished his law degree, he had great job offers, but he turned them down to go and fight … We met fighters from Europe and the United States. One of them was from New Jersey. Can you imagine a man from New Jersey traveling to fight for the Islamic State?”
He went on to say that one of ISIS’s main points of strength is their fighters’ willingness — even their will — to die on the battlefield….
One of the most remarkable episodes of Todenhoefer’s trip to the ISIS-controlled region came when he was able to conduct an interview with a German fighter who spoke on behalf of ISIS’s leadership.
The man — clearly unapologetic about the group’s transgressions — vowed there was more to come; he also issued a warning to Europe and the United States.
“So you also want to come to Europe?” Todenhoefer asked him.
“No, we will conquer Europe one day,” the man said. “It is not a question of if we will conquer Europe, just a matter of when that will happen. But it is certain … For us, there is no such thing as borders. There are only front lines.
“Our expansion will be perpetual … And the Europeans need to know that when we come, it will not be in a nice way. It will be with our weapons. And those who do not convert to Islam or pay the Islamic tax will be killed.”
Todenhoefer asked the fighter about their treatment of other religions, especially Shia Muslims.
“What about the 150 million Shia, what if they refuse to convert?” Todenhoefer asked.
“150 million, 200 million or 500 million, it does not matter to us,” the fighter answered. “We will kill them all.”
Beheadings
The interview became testy when they reached the topic of beheadings and enslavement, especially of female captives.
“So do you seriously think that beheadings and enslavement actually signal progress for humanity?” Todenhoefer asked.
“Slavery absolutely signals progress,” the man said. “Only ignorant people believe that there is no slavery among the Christians and the Jews. Of course there are woman who are forced into prostitution under the worst circumstances.
“I would say that slavery is a great help to us and we will continue to have slavery and beheadings, it is part of our religion … many slaves have converted to Islam and have then been freed.”…
Universal Soldier says
It’s time for President Obama and Congress to formally declare war on ISIS, HAMAS, Hezbollah, Boko Haram, Al Qaeda, Taliban, P.L.O., Black September and all other Muslim Terrorist groups or countries threatening or committing acts of violence against the U.S.A. and innocent civilians around the world. We must conquer them, set up a U.S.A. Military Government like Germany and Japan for 20-30 years in a transition to Western Democracy, Freedoms, Equalities and Human Rights! We also need to do this in Iraq and Afghanistan! Never Again will the U.S.A. allow a 9/11 by any means necessary!
Libyan Jihad says
They already did that to Iraq, and looking at it now all your soldiers deaths were in vain.

Libya. I, nabi ZK (pbum), am your true nabi. Don’t waste your time with that worthless piece of crap mohamet (piss be upon him). Listen up! Go to your nearest mosque or terror recruiting station (same thing). Sign up for a “martyrdom” operation. then when issued your boom vest detonate it immediately in the presence of all your jihadi buddies. I, nabi ZK (pbum), promise you 730 virgins in jannat. You simply can not beat this deal. Act now while supplies last! Go forth without delay. Your true nabi, nabi ZK (pbum), that’s me, has commanded it!

Holy Hell, you, Libyan Jihad, seem to be just one more pathetic Muslim troll. As for your contention that American soldiers died in vain in Iraq, to the extent that your claim is true it is only due to the fact that America held back its hand and also didn’t reckon Islam correctly.
Should the day come when an American President, someone like an Allen West, “pulls a Reagan” and denounces Islam in approximately the same way that President Reagan denounced the USSR as an “Evil Empire,” the Islamic world will be on the defensive everywhere, as it should be. And an America unleashed against an enemy will utterly destroy that enemy, I guarantee you. The key word here is “unleashed.” This won’t happen as long as clueless American eltites continue to cut Islam huge breaks, but should this “policy matter” undergo a sea change, with Islam looked upon as the freedom-crushing and malevolent spiritual ideology which it is, the Islamic world will stand no chance against the forces of freedom. Guaranteed.
I might add that to the extent that the Islamic world has weapons to use against America and all the West, it is only because, in once again parasitic-fashion mode, the decrepit, desultory, non-productive Islamic world has appropriated weaponry developed by the West and which it never, on its own, would have produced, just as the Islamic world would have never come up with, let’s see now, the internal combustion engine, railraods, the telegraph, rubber, refrigeration, radio, television, computers,automobiles, planes, spacecraft—-ah, the list is a very long one respecting what the Islamic world didn’t develop, would never have developed.
Really, aren’t you ashamed of how almost totally non-productive the Islamic world has been for century after century now? Or have you never thought of this? Wouldn’t surprise me at all if you haven’t because the more Muslim a person is the more overall clueless, self-pitying, delusional and parasitic that person is, and still with a sense of entitlement no less. For instance, do you think all that oil that exists in certain Muslim nations like SA and Kuwait would have ever been extracted but for Western technology?
Islam is a loser. Muslims are parasites feeding off the West—- and have been since the seventh century. I mean who is emigrating to the Muslim world? Meanwhile, Muslims aplenty want to come to the Western world. Think this is just some kind of coincidence or not telling at all? And so get lost, loser, and bang your head five times a day to your false deity that America and the West don’t finally see how inimical Islam is to the best that the West has produced, which blows away ANYTHING the Islamic world ever accomplished. Oh yeah, get lost. You make me sick.

The technological superiority of the Christian world is not recent. Already in the 9th century they were defeated at the siege of Constantinople thanks to the invention of Greek fire. Likewise, in 1571, one of the reasons for the Christian victory was superior technology, combined with the fact that the Turks had many Christian slaves as oarsmen. Once these realized that things were going badly for their mahommedan masters, they rebelled and were eventually freed by Don Juan of Austria. Also in 1683, the King of Poland routed 150,000 of them with an army of 20,000 gallant Polish warriors.

Unleashed… there is certainly nothing more dangerous than unleashed Americans!
The British, Japanese, Germans and many others can attest to the devastation that comes at the hands of angry Americans.

Are you crazy? Do you not realize that Obama is doing his level best to help these savages to continue to do what they are doing and also to degrade the U.S. military?
MukeNecca says
“…declare war on ISIS, HAMAS, Hezbollah, Boko Haram, Al Qaeda, Taliban, P.L.O., Black September and all other Muslim Terrorist groups”
What for? The list of “other Muslim Terrorist groups” stretches almost infinitely and every muhammedan community adds, or is bound to add, a new member(s) to the list as soon as it reaches certain size. It would be a never ending Sisyphean task to wage war on them. It is Islam that not only produces, but can not not produce these “Muslim Terrorist groups”.
Islam is the enemy, for Pete’s sake. Go after that hideous monstrosity, not after its fruits.

Islam comes ONLY to: Conquer, Submit, Convert, or Kill.
TTAngel says
ISIS are a subdivision of al-Qaeda, who no longer want anything to do with them and their brutal tactics, so yes we need to stand up to ISIS and get them to submit one and for all but there is no need to involve groups that have been pretty much dormant for a decade. Deal with the problem at hand not future problems.
MKG says
There you have it, right from the source. I haven’t any gold for the Jizya, but I have plenty of lead. Keep up the good work Mr. Spencer.
Michael Copeland says
He must have got it wrong: the BBC say the choice is “Convert, pay the jizya tax, or leave”, and they cannot be concealing anything, can they? They have muslims on their payroll, after all.
Fr. Basil` says
Let them do their worst to me. If they kill me, all they will have will be my dead body, not my submission.
I’ve made it clear to my friends that if I’m ever kidnapped by mahometan jihadistas, there are to be NO attempts to free me, no negotiations, and no ransom. They will either release me safe and sound or send me to Jesus.
I bear witness there is NO GOD but Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ is God Incarnate risen from the dead.

Right, they can have my head, but they will *never* have my heart ..that belongs to Jesus Christ! ♥

Back in the 1950s such a tenacious commitment was called “sticktoitiveness” — but usually involved finishing a long overdue garage tidy-up or some such task.
ISIS has put the historically correct Islamic pathological “convert or slaughter” in place of what Uncle Fred meant . . .
Libyan Jihad says
Of course they want to conquer Europe,and they will no matter how many crusades are sent to Muslim lands, the crusades didn’t save Constantinople and they won’t save London and Paris.
BlueRaven says
I don’t know what kind of BS you got stored in your head – do you really think when the push comes to shove the Americans and the European are going to take it lying down? If the US can fight two wars simultaneously against two most vile Islamic countries and could have easily flattened both within a matter of days, what chance does ISIS has against any country in Europe. I am pretty sure, if ISIS attacks any European country, their days will be shortened. I know how much you guys love to meet your 72 whores, we will oblige. Isn’t it funny, how often the Muslims/Palestians say they love death more than living, yet when the casualties start to sum up- guess what – they cry their hearts out all the way to the UN to stop the war because the Israelis are killing them in thousands. Aren’t you ashamed of your unlimited blatant hypocrisy.
TH says
Not surprising that they love death more than life, as Mahommad offers them such a dreary life: most of the joys of life are forbidden by Islam and they are not even allowed to have dogs. Who wouldn’t prefer death to Sharia?

RIGHT ON BLUERAVEN, EXACTLY!!! All western countries should be following the example of the Germans with their Mass Anti Islamic Rallies .

You have to take the crusades in a wider sense. Thanks to the crusades they were never able to take central Europe, just pieces of it which eventually got freedom. They were eventually kicked out of Spain and the war of Reconquest was also a long crusade. The decisive Battle of Navas de Tolosa in 1212 was declared a crusade by Pope Innocent III, andi it was the beginnng of the end of muslim dominance in Spain. If they hadn’t been kicked out of Spain, there would have been no Queen Isabella´sending of Comubus nor discovery of America. The Battle of Lepanto was also a crusade, as was the lifting of the siege of Vienna in 1683. It is only thanks to the crusades that we are here today and Western Civilization exists.

It’s truly tragic that these positive consequences of The Crusades are not popular if even mentioned in the Politically Correct Academic Institutions Of Europe and North America.

Almost as bad as the perception that the Crusades were just a bunch of barbarian Europeans who one day got together and said “let’s saddle our horses and steal from the arabs”.
celticwarriorcanada says
Hey Libya: Doesn’t look like the Germans are going to go very easily! Also the Imperialist Japanese were just as Fanatical as your lot .They were just as willing to die for the Emperor , they committed atrocities just as heinous as Islamic Terrorist i.e raped little girls and butchered woman ,tortured POWS etc. And they were 100 times more intelligent than Fanatical Muslims used propaganda etc. What became the end of their religious Shinto political Fascist Imperialist ideology ! THEY WERE DEFEATED !!! By American Canadian Aussies and other countries WHO WERE EVEN MORE FANATICAL ABOUT FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY. Islamic Fascist are JOHNNY COME LATELIES . THEY WILL BE DEFEATED ALSO !

John wrote down the prophecy…the beast will come, along with its image created by the dragon and false prophet…and it will last for a short while, killing everyone not willing to bow down and worship it or its image…and then, the beast will be destroyed.
(Revelation 13; 17; 21)
Unlike the false prophet of islam, the True Prophet, Jesus Christ, gave John the Revelation of what was to come and when. The time is now. We can see it being fulfilled.
This muslim spokesman for isis is so wrong. They will not conquer all and will not murder in perpetuity. And he himself is a slave in the worst way…he is a slave to satan the devil, the dragon that created isis and its image.
nazism in new clothes says
Conquer Europe? and then what? Everyone can live like they are back in the 7th Century. No cars, no movies, no music, no travel, no knowledge, no enlightenment…just the Koran. This is nazism all over – but dressed up in different clothes. There are always people that cannot accept people living a different type of life – Islam is the embodiement of it. No matter how much muslims want the world homogenised, there will ALWAYS be people who resist following something that treats women like chattels, and that gives so much hate to the world. p.s free Asia Bibi.

Yahoo had a link to this same article on News Week. Mister Todenhoefer stated that Islamic State 1 percent of the Islamic world. That should tell you something about this guy he went into the den of the monster and still he did not see.

““…many slaves have converted to Islam and have then been freed.”
Safiya was also “freed” by the filthy prophet of Islam. He married her almost immediately after he had her husband tortured and beheaded, her father and many of her relatives killed. She was 17, he was 57.
This is the Islamic definition of “freedom.”
The story of Safiya, the Jewish slave, revered by Muslims all over the world!!!

Most of these islamists would MUCH rather go after soft targets; you know children, women, unarmed men, than fight soldiers. If ever there was a reason for the American 2nd Amendment Rights being KEPT, it is to fight back against these … (fill in the blank, that describes ‘them’)
