From the Muslim standpoint, this is just the natural order of things. Non-Muslims paying for the upkeep of Muslims is a Qur’anic dictate: “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.” (Qur’an 9:29)
The caliph Umar said the jizya payments from the dhimmis were the source of the Muslims’ livelihood: “Narrated Juwairiya bin Qudama at-Tamimi: We said to `Umar bin Al-Khattab, ‘O Chief of the believers! Advise us.’ He said, ‘I advise you to fulfill Allah’s Convention (made with the Dhimmis) as it is the convention of your Prophet and the source of the livelihood of your dependents (i.e. the taxes from the Dhimmis.)’” (Bukhari 4.53.388)
UK jihad preacher Anjem Choudary said in February 2013: “We are on Jihad Seekers Allowance, We take the Jizya (protection money paid to Muslims by non-Muslims) which is ours anyway. The normal situation is to take money from the Kafir (non-Muslim), isn’t it? So this is normal situation. They give us the money. You work, give us the money. Allah Akbar, we take the money. Hopefully there is no one from the DSS (Department of Social Security) listening. Ah, but you see people will say you are not working. But the normal situation is for you to take money from the Kuffar (non-Muslim) So we take Jihad Seeker’s Allowance.”
“Zurich churches pass on tax money to Islamic associations,” translated from “Zürcher Kirchen leiten Steuergeld an Islamverein weiter,” HeimatKurier, March 15, 2024 (thanks to Medforth):
The Catholic and Protestant Church in Zurich wants to give away a whopping two million francs in tax money to Islamic associations. What is sold as a gesture of goodwill is actually a cash injection for Islamization. With the gift of money, the Swiss are involuntarily helping to finance the Islamic conquest of land.
In Zurich, only recognized religious communities are entitled to state funding. Currently these are three Christian and two Jewish communities. Since the Protestant and Catholic churches seem to be swimming in money through tax contributions, they now want to give the “Association of Islamic Organizations Zurich” (VIOZ) a cash gift of around two million francs.Islamization and false tolerance
A staunch supporter of the project is the reformed church council president and former SP cantonal councilor Esther Straub. She promotes the idea and speaks of it as a sign of “interreligious cohesion”. This kind of accommodation is, of course, sought in vain in Islamic countries with Christian minorities. The church uses this money to distribute money to Islamic organizations, which are often noticed in Switzerland with fanatical tendencies.Promoting moderate Islam?
The former left-wing politician argues that the move is intended to finance decidedly non-radical and moderate Islamic associations. With over 40 facilities, VIOZ operates around 90 percent of the mosques in the canton of Zurich. There are also other associations. In addition to the three VIOZ facilities in Winterthur, there is also the “An nur Mosque”, which, according to security authorities, is a real hotspot for jihadism. How interconnected or separated the VIOZ is with such communities cannot be clearly determined. In the past there have been cases in which the moderate mask slipped off the faces of radical Islamists in SwitzerlandIslamism from the streets to the universities
In October 2023, a 25-year-old Syrian also had to appear in court in Winterthur. He had previously been convicted of a jihadist trip to Syria. However, due to a cozy sentence, he was little deterred and continued to carry out terrorist propaganda for IS. The University of Bern provided another case of Islamism. After the Middle East war broke out last fall, an “Islam expert” and lecturer at the university expressed his joy at the event. The author was even the husband of the head of the Islamic Institute. The couple quickly distanced themselves from violence and terror, which meant they were probably back within the definition of “moderate”. In Schaffhausen it even became known that a convicted “ex-terrorist” was teaching in a mosque.Switzerland withdraws passports from Islamists
The Islamist side effects of the population exchange have led to a return of passport withdrawals in the Swiss Confederation. Since 2020, a total of seven people have had their citizenship revoked, and corresponding proceedings are pending for another dozen. Just a few weeks ago, Zurich became the scene of an Islamic terrorist act in which a 15-year-old Tunisian injured a Jew with a knife on the street.Remigration instead of Islamization
Due to numerous jihadist incidents and their involvement in Islamic cultural associations, it is uncertain whether the two million francs of tax money that the local churches want to give to Muslim associations will ultimately end up with questionable organizations. In addition, the Swiss people have repeatedly spoken out clearly against further Islamization in the past, for example with the ban on minarets in 2009. By continuing to finance Islamic associations, the canton is continuing to cultivate a parallel society for itself. This gives rise to Islamist activities and clans, as a look at neighboring states makes clear. Instead of giving further impetus to Islam and the Islamism associated with it, the canton should strive for a policy of remigration. Muslims who want to live strictly according to their beliefs and customs then have the opportunity to do so in an Islamic country.

The World will be tired AFTER the World wakes up from being woke. Tired? Not yet but soon enough it will be tired or then again maybe it will be too tired to do anything. That is what Jihad is betting on.

The government decided which *religions* to recognize. For good reason.
Another idiot “do-gooder” who is actually **doing evil.*** Giving money_ a little or a heck-of-a-lot as these idiots are doing_ for evil ends, is contributing to the deaths of innocent people.
It’s akin to giving money to the mob so the mobsters can buy more ammo, faster cars, and hire more enforcers to ensure that the poor victims cough up…or else.
“Woe to those who put evil for good, bitter for sweet, and darkness for light.”
“If the light in you is darkness, how great that darkness is.”
Daniel Bielak says
Would the Catholic and Protestant Church in Zurich want to give two million dollars in tax money to Jewish associations? Of course not. How about doing so in order to make amends for the Holocaust (and for over a thousand years of persecution of Jews)? Definitely not.
Would European elites welcome or tolerate Jewish people demanding money from them for no reason? Of course not. European elites have resisted giving back money they stole from Jewish people during the Holocaust.
After being embarrassed by the Holocaust having been made known to the world, European elites try to show that they are good people by showing “largesse” and “magnanimity” toward the most Jew-hating group of people in the world—Muslims.
Western elites hate, libel, and undermine, largely mild-mannered, largely tolerant, largely peaceful*, Jews. (Note: *Except when, now, in Israel, fighting for their own, and their families’, and their country’s, survival)
Western elites love, glorify, and support, largely aggressive, largely intolerant, largely violent, largely Jew-hating, Muslims.
Western elites love Muslims because Western elites hate Jews.

It should be remembered that FDR was no real friend of the Jews either. He only permitted around a thousand refugees from 1936 to 1946. The Democratic party, particularly in the South in the 1950’s was full of antisemitic people such as the KKK and not until the Republican party assisted LBJ in the 1960’s to pass the anti-discrimination laws such as the “Anti-Discrimination Act 1964 of which the Guardian stated, “‘We may have lost the south’: what LBJ really said … Web Jan 24, 2023 · He is said to have remarked: “We’ve lost the south for a generation.”. Indeed, the south has become steadily more Republican.”
Johnson was rather prescient on this one occasion as the list of state houses in the South are mostly GOP and Biden’s Democratic party is obsessed with protecting the demonic cult of the made-up pedophilic prophet which will not help in the upcoming elections.

“What is sold as a gesture of goodwill is actually a cash injection for Islamization. With the gift of money, the Swiss are involuntarily helping to finance the Islamic conquest of land.”
“By continuing to finance Islamic associations, the canton is continuing to cultivate a parallel society for itself.”
Try explaining that to the useful idiot and fake church council president.
But again, the electorate or council members get what they voted for – Islamization, riots, bombings, madrasses, FGM, beheadings and all.
“Remigration instead of Islamization”
Great idea, but needs a practical, hands-on, real-world application as in Spain, decreed by King Philip III of Spain on April 9, 1609 to expel the murderous, usurping cult of Islam.
Hoi Polloi says
The Swiss have repeatedly used their votes in binding referendums to reject this type of behavior. Those who continue to thwart the legally binding referendums expressing the will of the people should be jailed. Every franc should be tightly monitored and tracked and every hostile action funded in this way should result in prison for both the perp and for those who funded the act.

During WWII, Switzerland happily; took the gold the Nazi stole from the Jews. Actual cash, gold teeth, glasses, property titles, art works. After the war they fought had to keep all of the proceeds for themselves.
Their claim to neutrality was a smoke screen to hide the fact the Nazi’s were depositing for their use.
For fifty years the owners of bank accounts, the heirs, even with proof of death the Swiss banks ruled the economics of Switzerland.
It was not until 1997 Switzerland finally admitted to keeping billions from the heirs of those murdered. Still they did not hand all of the proceeds to the Jews and other heirs.
Tom Bower’s book NAZI GOLD goes into detail, the people, countries who worked to restore property to the rightful heirs. A fifty year battle. Man’s greed is heartless.

Here’s a Swiss incident that reveals much:
Martin Sellner 🪥
@Martin_Sellner
Today the police in the Kanton of Aargau, Switzerland stormed a speech, turned off the electricity, handcuffed me and performed a push back. I am not allowed to enter Aargau for 2 months. The reason?
👉 I presented my book about #remigration. The police claimed that this presentation was a danger to Swiss security and public order.
🤡 According to the police, it was the first push back like this in 10 years, while 50.000 Illegals entered the country in 2023!
👉 This is a disgrace to Swiss democracy. But it still is a win for our movement. They can handcuff me, but not our ideas. Remigration is inevitable!

There are no deals to be made with the devil, only the loss of one’s soul.
No wonder the Lord is turning his face from so many countries these days.

I wonder how much of the money these churches in Zurich contributed to the Islamists went to assist in the orchestration of the events of the last thirty days:

We had a foreign exchange student from Finland and in their country they had a state religion, which was Lutheran Christian and their tax money went directly to the church. They seemed to have a feeling that they didn’t have to attend
church regularly as God knew their taxes should take care of things.Apparently there was no passing of the collection plate.
I wonder if there is a similar situation there in Switzerland? I must correct a statement above. There was tax money going to both Christians and Jews according to the article. Perhaps the bleeding hearts thought they should share with the Muslims, but what about the Hindi or Buddhists?
Hoi Polloi says
“The use of cantonal taxes to support cantonal churches has been ruled legal by the Federal Supreme Court, even though they are collected from juristic persons (e.g. corporations) of which irreligious citizens or citizens of unrecognised religions are shareholders.” Cantons have independent legal powers in this area, so there is no national church. Many cantons have a long history regarding Catholicism vs. Protestantism, so it’s a local matter and is one of the reasons that Switzerland strongly favored the development of a division of powers between the Confederation and the cantons.
