This is from the salafi Nour Party, which apparently will be forming part of the majority coalition in the new Egyptian parliament. The votes haven't even all been counted yet, and already they're talking about implementing Islamic law to discriminate against Christians. This shouldn't be a surprise to anybody, as the candidate himself expresses below--it's not like these guys just "fell from the sky." We know who they are, and all along both the salafis and the Brotherhood have been very clear on the fact that they want Islamic law. Those of us with our eyes open know what that...

Former US President Jimmy Carter sought to reassure everyone that “the Muslim Brotherhood is not a group we should be afraid of. From my dealings with some of their representatives I can assure you that they are pious and devout people who only want to promulgate their faith as instructed by their holy book—the Quran.” That the Quran commands Muslims to offer nonbelievers the options of conversion, second-class citizenship, or death didn’t faze the ex-president. “Each faith has its own path,” Carter instructed. “The Muslim obligation to make war for Islam and the Christian belief in ‘turning the other cheek’...

The jizya is a tax paid by non-muslims in a muslim controlled state. Muslims are exempt from this tax on non-muslims or dhimini or second class citizens.

Jizya is a per capita tax levied on a section of an Islamic state's non-Muslim citizens, who meet certain criteria.

Intolerance is not just part of al-Qaeda, it is part of Islam Non-Muslims are barred from entering the cities of Mecca and Medina — not merely barred from building synagogues or churches, but barred, period, because their infidel feet are deemed unfit to touch the ground. This is not an al-Qaeda principle. Nor is it an “Islamist” principle. It is Islam, pure and simple. “Truly the pagans are unclean,” instructs the Koran’s Sura 9:28, “so let them not . . . approach the Sacred Mosque.” This injunction — and there are plenty of similar ones in Islam’s scriptures — is...

In the Obama Administration’s latest effort to appease Muslims, the U.S. government will begin delivering special meals, prepared according to Islamic law, to home-bound seniors in a city known for its thriving Muslim population. The government-funded Meals on Wheels program, designed to feed disabled seniors who are confined to their homes and unable to make their own food, will begin offering halal cuisine this month in Detroit’s Wayne County, which is home to the nation’s most concentrated Muslim population. American tax dollars will pay a special company to make the so-called halal meals, which are prepared according to Islamic teachings....

They received a combined 2,250 euros, shoved into an envelope... Gouda has confirmed that it paid the troublemakers. .. the money was handed over in cash...

SNIPPET: ""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 "Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah.

Tax on non-Muslims is a threat that violates basic human rights. In tribal areas near the border with Afghanistan more than 700 non-Muslim families are persecuted and forced to pay.

Lahore (AsiaNews) – The National Commission for Justice and Peace (NCJP) has condemned the imposition of the Jizya, the poll tax for non-Muslims, in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on the border with Afghanistan because of its discriminatory nature and because it constitutes a direct threat to basic human rights. Mgr John Saldanha, archbishop of Lahore,...

by (IsraelNN.com) Israel has resumed shipments of produce to Gaza, according to the Israeli Agricultural Association, which explained in a statement Sunday that produce shipped to the region will gradually increase as long as quiet prevails in southern Israel. Israel and Hamas both began a renewed, albeit fragile, ceasefire, one week ago. As of now, the Ministry of Defense has permitted the transfer of ten trucks of produce a day carrying 200 tons of bananas, persimmons, and apples. Produce growers hope that the shipments will increase soon to 15 trucks. The CEO of the Fruit Growers Association, Ilan Eshel, explained...

Israel authorised on Wednesday the transfer of 25 million dollars into Gaza to pay wages of civil servants amid warnings that the liquidity crisis could bring down the besieged territory's banks. But the sum fell short of the 250 million shekels (63 million dollars, 49 million euros) that Palestinian prime minister Salam Fayyad said were necessary to pay Palestinian Authority employees. Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak authorised the transfer of 100 million shekels (25 million dollars) from banks in the occupied West Bank to the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, his office said. The transfer was to come following a "personal request"...

MOSUL, Iraq—Odisho Yousif's job every two weeks or so was to take money raised on behalf of church families, people victimized by violence, kidnapping, or persecution mostly in Baghdad, and deliver it to them or their church. Almost since the war began, Iraqis living in the United States and elsewhere in the diaspora, as well as Iraqis with secure livelihoods in the north, became a kind of life support system. When a family lost its grocery store due to a bombing, or a relative had to raise ransom after a kidnapping, the support system kicked in. Yousif, 61, a lay...

The Second Amendment and Islamic lawby Robert Spencer  Posted 07/02/2008 ET The Supreme Court’s ruling upholding the Second Amendment comes just as it has been revealed that in Iraq, Islamic jihadists have been forcing the Christians remaining in the country to pay jizya -- the tax mandated in the Qur’an for non-Muslims who live under Islamic rule. And in Pakistan’s Northwest Frontier Province, the Taliban has been enforcing Islamic Sharia law by waving automatic weapons, forcing music stores to close down at the point of a gun (music is forbidden in Islamic law). Maybe if Iraq and Afghanistan had the...

The United Nations’ “Terrorism: Dimensions, Threats and Countermeasures” conference in Tunis concluded that Islam should not be blamed for terror carried out in its name. “The UN did not blame communism for the Soviet gulags or the genocide in Cambodia,” observed conference chairman Abdullah al-Ibi of Saudi Arabia. “Yet, one can find language in the sacred manifestos written by its founder that could be interpreted as granting license for murder and mayhem. If communism gets a pass, so must Islam.” Ibi suggested that “attempts to point the finger of blame will be self-defeating” and that the West “would be better...

BY HANNAH ALLAM McClatchy News Service BAGHDAD -- AND LEILA FADEL An al Qaeda-affiliated insurgent group is giving Christians in Baghdad a stark set of options: Convert to Islam, marry your daughters to our fighters, pay an Islamic tax or leave with only the clothes on your back.
