A response to Kretinkoopers lies and misrepresentation of the Quran

[isgbful]

“One of the problems raised by the missionaries and orientalists is the imposition of tribute or jizyah on all non-Muslims. This institution has been so misinterpreted and misexplained that the non-Muslims feel that it is some kind of religious-based discrimination against them. This is not the case. All the jizyah amounts are to be a financial obligation placed upon those who do not have to pay the Zakah.

[isgbful]

As the ratio of these two taxes is the same, it is obvious that the jizyah is simply a technique used by Islamic governments to make sure that everyone pays his fair share. If the term ‘jizyah’ is too offensive to non-Muslims, it can always be changed: ‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattab levied the jizyah upon the Christians of Bani Taghlib and called it sadaqah (alms) out of consideration for their feelings.

[isgbful]

The noted historian Sir Thomas W. Arnold in his Call to Islam, states: “This tax was not imposed on the Christians, as some would have us think, as a penalty for their refusal to accept the Muslim faith. Rather, it was paid by them in common with the other dhimmis or non-Muslim subjects of the state whose religion PRECLUDED them from SERVING in the army, in return for the protection secured for them by the arms of the Muslims.

[isgbful]

When the people of Hirah contributed the sum agreed upon, they expressly mentioned that they paid this jizyah on condition that ‘the Muslims and their leader protect us from those who would oppress us, whether they be Muslims or others.”In his covenant with the people of certain cities near Al-Haira,

[isgbful]

Khalid ibn Al-Walid, recorded: “If we are able to protect you, we deserve the collection of jizyah; otherwise, we shall not offer you protection.”The seriousness with which the Muslims took their covenants with the non-Muslims is well illustrated by the following incident. During the reign of the second caliph,

[isgbful]

Umar Ibn Al-Khattab, the Roman emperor Heraclius raised a huge army to repel the Muslim forces. It was thus incumbent upon the Muslims to concentrate their efforts on the battle. When the commander of Muslims, Abu ‘Ubaydah heard this news, he wrote to his officials in all conquered cities in Syria and ordered them to return the jizyah which had been levied in those cities

[isgbful]

He also addressed the public saying; “We are returning your money because we know that the enemy has gathered troops. By the terms stipulated in the covenant, you have obliged us to protect you. However, since we are now unable to fulfill these conditions,

[isgbful]

we have returned to you what you paid to us. We shall abide by the terms agreed upon in the covenant, if Allah helps us to rout the enemy.”Thus, a huge amount was taken form the state treasury and returned to the Christians, making them very happy.

[isgbful]

They prayed for and blessed the Muslim commanders. They exclaimed, “May Allah help you to overcome your enemies and return you to us safely. If the enemy were in your place, they would never have returned anything to us, but rather they would have taken all our remaining property.” The jizyah was also imposed on Muslim men who could afford to buy their way out of military service. If a Christian group elected to serve in the state’s military forces, it was exempted from the jizyah.

[isgbful]

Historical examples of this abound: the Jarajima, a Christian tribe living near Antioch (now in Turkey), by undertaking to support Muslims and to fight on the battle front, did not have to pay the jizyah and were entitled to a share of the captured booty.When the Islamic conquests reached northern Persia in 22 A.H., a similar covenant was established with a tribe living on the boundaries of those territories.

[isgbful]

They were consequently exempted from jizyah in view of their military services.Other examples are to be found during the history of the Ottoman Empire: the Migaris, a group of Albanian Christians, were exempted from the jizyah for undertaking to watch and guard the mountain ranges of Cithaeron and Geraned (which stretch to the Gulf of Corinth).

[isgbful]

Christians, who served as the vanguard of the Turkish army for road repairs, bridge construction and so on were exempted form the kharaj. As a reward, they were also provided with some lands, free of all taxes. The Christians of Hydra were exempted when they agreed to supply a group of 250 strong men for the (Muslim) naval fleet. The Armatolis,

[isgbful]

Christians from southern Romania, were also exempted from the tax, for they constituted a vital element in the Turkish armed forces during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Mirdites, an Albanian Catholic clan who lived in the mountains of northern Scutari, were exempted on the condition that they would offer an armored battalion in wartime.

[isgbful]

The jizyah was also not imposed on the Greek Christians who had supervised the building of viaducts, which carried water to Constantinople, nor on those who guarded the ammunition in that city, as just compensation for their services to the state. However, Egyptian Muslim peasants exempted from military service was still required to pay the jizyah

[isgbful]

it’s clear in the light of the above-mentioned facts that the institution of jizyah can never be described as a discriminatory system staged against the non-Muslims. Testifying The relation between Muslims and non-Muslims.

How do you know their wrong brother, have you listend to Sheik Usamas lectures or videos. Please be careful in what you say for you may mislaed many others with you. This is the problems with us Muslims today and we are going through many trials because we dont read the Quran and Hadiths and understand them.

"Islamic Jihad" is only necessary when Muslim land is being encroached upon and VIOLATED. It is a concept of self-defense. And every "normal Muslim" must abide by it. Self-defence and preservation of the Islamic faith is mandatory and incumbent upon all Muslims. Not something you can understand.

And your blind support for terrorists like the IDF is acceptable? That says alot about you now, doesn't it?

[dahon240]

Thank you for this great video.

[kretinkooper]

Thanks! Like I've said before I have nothing against "NORMAL" Muslims. The Islamic Jihad, the suicide bombings of the innocent. You should be ashamed of yourselves for not standing up against the Islamic Jihad. Treating women like cattle is not very happy.

Islam does not oppose peoples different beliefs can be seen in the following quranic verses: The [Muslim] believers, the Jews, the Christians, and the Sabians all those who believe in God and the Last Day and do good will have their rewards with their Lord.

[DuckingNDiving]

@TearsofPalestine yes but allah is like the mafia he wants to rackateer and force the others to pay the muslims a humility taxI(jizzya).sura 9:29

[DuckingNDiving]

@TearsofPalestine only if we pay a submission tax(jizzya),if we do not then we will be killed(sura 9:29),is your allah a rackateer?,do you know who sabiens are?they were semi-pagans,muhammad copied many of their rituals ramadan,abulution and lunar calender,if muhammad was a true prophet then why did he choke on the poisioned dish at khaybar?islam is nonsense,it is entirely man made by muhammad,he took 1/5 of all war booty for himself

[TearsofPalestine]

On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land. ( 5:32 )

[TearsofPalestine]

Islam is peaceful, Islam is merciful, Islam allows freethinking, Islam allows freedom of speech, Islam allows freedom of expression .The Quran turns our attention to the high value of human life, whether it is Muslim or Non-Muslim and makes it absolutely forbidden to take an innocent life unjustly. The gravity of such a crime is equated, in the Quran, with the killing of all humanity.
