In Tunisia: Muslims to a Christian priest: CONVERT TO ISLAM OR PAY JIZYA

Fight those who do not believe in Allah ( i.e.  Non-Muslims) , nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth (i.e. Islam), out of those who have been given the Book ( including Christians and Jews ), until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority (of Islam and Muslims) and they are in a state of subjection.
(Koranic Verse: 9.29;   SOURCE)

Earlier Muslims covered the cross on the church with gunny bags ( here ).

But Sharia has to be enforced completely and every Non-Muslim has to abide by it; it is only then that Muslims are at peace. It is only then that Muslims feel that there is no aggression on them. Because mere presence of disbelief in Islam becomes aggression (Koran says this in verses 2:193 and 8:39) on Islam and Muslims. Now one can see how, when Muslims say their wars are always fought in defense.

A Saudi cleric to infidels: Convert to Islam or Pay Jizya or Embrace death

Of course, there is no compulsion in Islam!!!! When ever a non-Muslim (or an Ex-Muslim) tells the truth about Islam - like the ones being told by this Saudi cleric - he will be branded as communal or as an Islamophobe.

Islam explained in simple words by a Muslim

One can see how twisted logic of Islam is? But this is what Koran says in verses 9:005 and 9:029.

One can also see how definitions of various words change when Muslims use them i.e. here the word 'friendship'. One group pays Jizya for protection or not to get killed and other group calls this friendship.

Koran says 'There is no compulsion in Islam'! wah.......

The Muslim apologists and propagandists, as usual, along with paid Non Muslim agents, say that Koran teaches against using force to convert others to Islam (I rather put the question, 'is Islam against forcing its belief on others?'). They even quote a verse, a part of verse to be accurate, from Koran in their defense as a proof of Islamic tolerance. That verse is:

Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. (2:256, YUSUF ALI)

The real tragedy is that Non Muslims intuitively fall for this verse's outward appearance and falsely think that Islam counsels religious tolerance without ever questioning what is tolerance itself, how and when. With Koran and Sunna as authority and basis, the way Islam defines tolerance is completely different from the normative sense of 'tolerance' that we understand it to be. This verse refers to Non Muslim subjects living under Islamic rule after they have agreed to pay Jizya and to accept other humiliating conditions to remain in  their faith. To be precise, Islamic tolerance comes after infidels are conquered and it is no less than worst kind of persecution. Muslims having to fight and subdue Non Muslims is not intolerance of Islam but Islam giving Non Muslims, after they are conquered, option of keeping their faith in exchange for Jizya and dehumanizing status of humiliation and degradation is tolerance according to these Islamic apologists. Any way, this post intends to shed light on true nature of this verse.

Indian secularism is triumphant: Hindus asked to pay Jizya in India

How worse it can get than this. No, I am not referring Hindus paying Jizya imposed by Govt. of Kashmir, reminiscent of taxes imposed on Hindus during 'tolerant' Islamic rule -just for being Hindus -, but about silence of all other political parties (except BJP) and media and of course, pseudo secular intellectuals. 

All political parties of India are notoriously corrupt and are inept too. These parties are engaged in competition for Muslim vote bank or engaged in appeasement of Muslims as they were terrified of violent protests (remember protests in Kolkata over presence of Taslima Nasreen, writer of Bangladeshi origin) by Muslims. Interesting thing in all this is success of propaganda, by media and secularists, of Muslims being hapless victims of Hindu nationalism and violence thus, justifying all unconstitutional laws or measures.

Right now, condemning or criticizing any thing that has to do with Islam or Muslims is unwelcome and invites all kinds of accusations from politicians living in delusion that Islam can be appeased  and Islam is just like any other religion.

BJP slams entry fee on Hindu pilgrims in Kashmir  
{{{  

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Friday criticised the Jammu and Kashmir government for its decision to charge entry fee of Rs.2,000 per vehicle to the Amarnath and Vaishnodevi temples.

'The Jammu and Kashmir government's decision to impose fees on lakhs of pilgrims going for 'darshan' (visit) of Amarnath and Mata Vaishnodevi by their private vehicles is reminiscent of 'jaziya' (tax) imposed during Mughal period that was forcefully imposed on Hindu pilgrims to torture them,' BJP national general secretary Vijay Goel told reporters here.

The state government had issued a notification under Jammu-Kashmir Motor Vehicle Taxation Act 1957 to charge Rs.2,000 as entry fee valid for seven days. The same amount will be charged per day if the stay extends more than seven days.

'The Jammu and Kashmir government is playing with the sentiments of Hindu pilgrims. Instead of providing better amenities to the pilgrims the state government is making attempts to disturb the 'teerth yatra' (pilgrimage).'

He demanded that the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) ask the Jammu and Kashmir government to desist from practising 'such shameful politics'.

Sharia Law concerning Non Muslims; Can this be called Tolerant?

Note: This is edited one. I just added another law that I found in their Sharia book to the original post. Apart from this addition, there are no changes to the original post. This addition is about the law that says Non Muslims can not testify in an Islamic court of law.

What do provisions and components of Sharia law say with regard to Non Muslims? Muslims, especially those living in infidel countries say Islam teaches tolerance, brotherhood and equality and justice. Nothing is further from truth than a statement like Islam teaches tolerance. It is good to see from their own law book, Fiqh which is an extension of Sharia.

One of the four schools of Islam is Shafi'i school. 'Umdat as-Salik wa 'Uddat an-Nasik is the manual of their law book which was translated in to English by an American Muslim  Nuh Ha Mim Keller under the title ‘Reliance of the Traveller and Tools of the Worshipper’. In short it is called ‘Reliance of the Traveler’. This translation was approved by Al-Azhar University, the most authoritative in the Sunni branch of Islam.

Jizya and its meaning (Part 2)

In understanding Jizya, it is worth to focus, if not engross, on distinctness of how Muslim scholars understood this verse 9:29 for 1400 years from the time of birth of Islam and how it was implemented too by Muslim rulers.

Jizya and its real meaning (Part 1)

In Indian history text books one learns that Non Muslims (Hindus) paid Jizya tax to Muslim rulers but why it was imposed on Hindus was never explained. If at all Jizya is explained then it is only in falseness and not even close to truth because authors write “Jizya has nothing to do with religion and this tax is more of political in nature”. Funny, isn’t it? The underlying reasons for this kind of tax and law is not believing in Islam and continuation of adhering to their ancient faiths, yet authors wanted every one to believe that the issue of religion has no role in this. Hmm! Making sense? Their point that this levying of Jizya is only political is half truth from the perspective that Islam is equally a politically ideology; not that authors intend to imply this. Their (Our left intellectuals and Historians) uncompromising effort, out right lies and deceptions to sanitize Islamic history of barbarianism and cruelty becomes itself a worthy science subject to scrutiny and appraisal.
