“Fight against those do not believe in Allah or the last day, and do not forbid what Allah and his messenger have forbidden, and do not follow the religion of truth, even if they are among the people of the book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued” (9:29).
“As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and manumission; the third, to ransom them in exchange for goods or prisoners; and fourth, to show favor to them and pardon them. Allah, may he be exalted, says, ‘When you encounter those [infidels] who deny [the Truth=Islam] then strike [their] necks’ (Qur’an sura 47, verse 4)” — Al-Mawardi, al-Ahkam as-Sultaniyyah (The Laws of Islamic Governance).
“Terrorists Attack Cameroonian Fishermen For Refusing To Pay ‘Taxes,’” by Kiven Brenda, HumAngle, September 26, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
On Sept. 15, Bashiru Abdallah was at the Douala IV council of the Littoral region in Cameroon to obtain copies of birth certificates for his kids. After escaping terror attacks last year, he had moved to Douala to start his life afresh.
For 20 years, Abdallah worked as a fisherman in Kofia, a Cameroonian island bordering Lake Chad, which hosts fishermen from neighbouring countries, including Nigeria and the Niger Republic.
Since 2014, Boko Haram and the Islamic State West African Province (ISWAP) insurgents, two deadly terror groups, have operated separately, targeting and killing unarmed civilians or kidnapping them for ransom.
Terrorists kidnapped at least 30 fishermen recently and killed ten others gruesomely in Far North Cameroon, according to local media reports. The terrorists had also imposed illegal taxes on the fishermen to allow them to work on the Kofia shore.
Several fishermen said they were forced to pay between $0.65 to $2.6 levies to operate on Lake Chad. Those who could not pay the imposed levies have had to flee the area for more garrison towns.
But the terrorists would not stop asking for levies. They preyed more on these fishermen and farmers in Cameroon during the cash crunch in Nigeria. The terror groups and other transborder traders resorted to Cameroon’s currencies to bypass the Nigerian currency redesign policy.
However, Abdallah and many fishermen on the shore defied the terrorists’ tax orders. The consequence of such defiance, according to the terror groups, is incessant fatal attacks on defaulters. One day in Nov. 2o22, he was returning from his daily fishing adventure when five terrorists ambushed him and his aide.
“I was the last person behind when they started swinging cutlasses and knives at us,” Abdallah said, recounting how several fishermen were killed and kidnapped that day. “When other fishermen started to fight back, I squeezed my way around, but I had a cut in my back.”
Abba Kabir, the President of the Fishermen Association in Darak, a town in Cameroon, told The Guardian Post that terrorists murdered several fishermen and left their dead bodies floating on the lake. He said constant attacks on fishermen have hindered fishing on Kofia Island, as many now run for their lives….
The Cameroonian and Chadian governments have made futile efforts to halt violent attacks on fishing communities in the coastal areas, including empowering vigilante groups and random security checks in the Far North. But the terrorists became more brazing [sic], launching attacks on fishermen and displacing them….

A funny thing about the koran is that allah does confirm the TORAH{koran 3;3}and tells muhammed to check with the Bible people in koran 10:94 if in doubt.And since allah confirms the TORAH{allah says he gave the ‘scripture’ to Moses in koran 2:87 which contains the law of Moses and which condemns murder] you would imagine that if any jihadist did that ,they might see how wrong they are .
But logic and islam were separated at birth and adherents of the cult seem to be logically challenged.
“Oh i see.The Torah actually condemns murder.So rather than “slay the unbelievers” ,the morally good thing to do is NOT to murder.Uh hh.I see”
…..said NO jihadist ever..

Well said, FYI. Logic and islam definitely do seem to be permanently separated. Maybe the people who took up islam are just a bunch of degenerates who love nothing more than murdering people, and always have enjoyed slaughtering people more than anything else, so they were only ever going to join an evil religion that condoned murdering people. Any peaceful religion was never going to appeal to such a bunch of evil degenerates.
