Jizya is the tax the Qur’an and Islamic law levy on “the People of the Book” as the hallmark of their submission to and subjugation by the Muslims.
“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)
A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “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)

“Nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book.”
Heaven forbid if Muslims were to acknowledge the truth. They might actually find peace.
“Religion of Peace” my ass!

They are certainly walking and quacking like Mohammedan ducks of ages past. If ISIS is not yet a true caliphate, they at least believe themselves to be such and are acting accordingly. Sadly, there will be no Pope Urban II this time ’round, and it’s a certainty that no sovereignty or collective socio-political faction will handle ISIS. What, then, is our recourse? Even the tenor of JW posts reflects a hint of haplessness at the inane, lemming behavior of the masses in the face of the obvious demonism that we call Islam. And when the hajith to America, by stealth or subsidized redistribution, have provided critical mass here in the States, what will our recourse be then? Will Americans in Dearborn submit to jizya or wear head-rags in deference? From whence, and in what form, Robert, does the catalyst arrive which might stem the tide? People don’t want to know the truth – it’s too difficult. Further, the battle against Islam is, at heart, a spiritual one, since the Old Man himself is at the helm. Awareness is great, but it is not a solution by itself. Only the fullness of Truth can combat a determined evil, and we are FAR from battling on this prerequisite basis.

This is disappointing. It turns out that Moslems are no better than anybody, for them too it’s all about the money. Empty and shallow. They present themselves as heroes who don’t care about anything but the Cause, fighters whose ideals force them to stoop to mass murder in the fight against bad religion. But no, it’s gimme the cash, so one wonders whether the Moslems are actually the best people, which is how they like to be seen.
Me says
APF, disappointment would only be relevant if you have optimistic expectations for Islam to begin with. Mohammed himself kept people alive in order to raise money in the form of “jizya”, in order to fund further campaigns of rape, pillage, plunder, and hyper-imposed proselytization. As for “cause”, “Religion” for Islam is merely a thin drape from under which to provide a feigned sense of purpose and unity. All true goals for Islam are worldly, at core (ex, Allah’s paradise consists of flesh and bone virgins – a human, worldly (sinful) goal).

Me, Alarmed Pig Farmer is famous here for his wry sense of humor. He is being sarcastic.
mortimer says
Islam is primarily about plunder, sex and power, and slavery, not necessarily in that order.
Islam is based on exploitation. In paradise houris and women are exploited for eternity by Muslim males.

” In paradise houris and women are exploited for eternity by Muslim males”

Islam is such a puerile joke.
And yet, Muslims expect us to show reverence toward their sordid buffoon Muhammad.
Blitz2b says
These are the true victims of ISIS that should be given refuge in Europe and America instead of the Muslim opportunists who would have done just fine under the ISIS rule.
Instead they are left behind to fend for themselves with the Koranic ultimatum of convert pay the jizayya or die, and their women are sold as sex slaves to the ISIS barbarians, while the Muslims benefit from a worldwide sympathy, free handouts and a new life in all the EU countries….
How fair is this?
Me says
Islam is diametrically opposed to Christianity, exactly in the way that Satan is diametrically opposed to Christ Himself. I think there is ample fodder for a book to be written, specifically as to the “intricacies” of Islam which ostensibly, purposefully posture anathema to Truth. What say you, RS?
Angemon says
Standard islamic orthodoxy.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
It’s a happy thing when your religion gets you free money. That was the reason Islam exploded onto the scene in the first place, why the Black Flag was first raised. The Holy Prophet was able to sign on his Companions when they realized they could get rich robbing everybody in sight. Of course, that pretty much meant robbing Jews, but why not, it was clear that the IJC was manipulating the Arabian Peninsula banking system for their own enrichment. That crime is what drove poor Mo to murder those 700 men and boys at Banu Qurazay and take several hundred women and small girls as sex slaves. Economic justice.
gravenimage says
Oh, heck, APF–the earliest Mohammedans could rob Christians, Sabeans, and pagans too.
Of course, they’ve since gone on to exploit Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, Zoroastrians, Yazidis, Atheists, Agnostics, Animists, and everybody else.
See? Islam really is a universal religion!
EYESOPEN says
You’re absolutely right graven – izlam IS a universal offender

Brian says
Jizzya is extortion money and even if it is paid, Christians can and are abused physically, sexually and every sort of humiliating way.
gravenimage says
*Very* true, Brian–paying Jizya is no guarantee of Infidel safety.
Jay Boo says
Same people coming to a neighborhood near you as ‘refugees’
NPR is claiming these people have an absolute right to flood into Europe.
NPR is claiming they are entitled.
NPR is claiming this is our duty.
In other words:
Not only are we to offer food, shelter and citizenship, ungrateful Muslims should then feel absolutely no obligation in return.
Jizya Payment
Jaladhi says
What is this administration waiting for to destroy these Islamic scumbags. Muslims around the world can’t get away by saying ISIS is not Islamic. If they are not Islamic then why these Muslims are not joining together and go to Syria and other places to fight ISIS and totally annihilate them.Don’t they want to save the honor of Islam? If Muslims are not willing to do that then they are all part o ISIS!! Muslims only save the honor of Islam by killing defenseless women and men!
RonaldB says
“What is this administration waiting for to destroy these Islamic scumbags.”
What do you want us to do? Put our soldiers on the ground and fight conventional battles against the Islamic State? What good would that do us? We’d wind up with a conquered Muslim population resentful, hostile, and willing to shoot our soldiers in the back, just like Iraq after the genius George W Bush destroyed all the Iraq mechanisms of societal organization: the army, police, civil servants and ruling bureaucracy.
Jaladhi says
Why does it have to be US boots on the ground. Don’t Muslim nations in the area have any stake there for their own safety? You don’t think that this administration can convince Muslim nations to assemble an army to fight these jihadi murderers? If US can’t do that now, though they have done it before in Gulf war, then there is something wrong with this government!!

……………………
Not beyond a point, Jaladhi. No Muslim nation–even those actively threatened by Jihadists–can do much to stand against them, because they don’t have a leg to stand on on Islamic grounds.
That’s why Muslim countries like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Somalia have been so uneven and equivocal in their stance against Jihad incursions.
mortimer says
I wonder if John Kerry, Obama and David Cameron realize that jizzya is ‘moderate’ Islam ? (which it truly is)
