This is no surprise. Non-Muslims paying for the upkeep of Muslims is a Qur’anic dictate: “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, […]
UK taxpayers supported London Bridge jihad mass murderer: he was on welfare
Khuram Butt, “the ringleader of the London terror attack was bankrolled by the taxpayer,” aka the “Jihad Seeker’s Allowance.” A jihadist’s hatred and scorn of infidels also bestows upon him a sense of entitlement: he may benefit freely from infidels, in lieu of the jizya payments that are his due, as per the Qur’an (9:29).

Raymond Ibrahim: Why the Islamic State’s Ancient Jihadi Tactics “Shock” the West
As Western politicians and other talking heads insist that the Islamic State (“ISIS”) has “nothing whatsoever to do with Islam,” not only does ISIS correctly implement Islamic law—whether by demanding jizya from subjugated Christians or by sexually enslaving “infidel” women—but even the “caliphate’s” arcane jihadi tactics belong to Islam. Consider a recently exposed “recruitment” tactic […]
Muslim cleric: Christians must pay the jizya or move out
The headline to this Breitbart piece says that al-Maqdisi was addressing Egypt’s Christians, but actually he says: “Today, the Islamic state rules over vast areas in Syria and Iraq despite the campaign against it by the crusader infidels.

Christians in Syrian town where priest was kidnapped now paying jizya
Every element in the “contract” below is an established and mainstream element of Islamic law, although of course Aleteia, which is an organ of the establishment Catholic denial regarding the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, doesn’t tell you that.

ISIS has been reaching out to al-Shabaab to convince them to join their growing network of terror groups. ISIS “affiliates” now established in at least a dozen countries, from Algeria in the West to Indonesia in the East. “Al Shabaab […]

The Return of Jizya Muslim demands for non-Muslim “infidels” to pay jizya on pain of death are growing, even as the West fluctuates between having no clue what jizya is and thinking that jizya is an example of “tolerance” in Islam.

British jihadist 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 […]

In Morocco, Clinton offers more jizya

U.S. triples aid to Pakistan, Pakistan sneers and calls it “peanuts,” wants more
