  • The Status of Non-Muslims Under Muslim Rule

      "Discover the R-E-A-L Horrors of Islamic D'himmitude" The true status of non-Muslims under Islamic rule includes almost a millennia and a half of recurring horror stories. The R-E-A-L horror is Revolting-Enervating-Authoritarian-Loathsome. This has been hidden from the knowledge of most Muslims and non-Muslims by violent Jihadists' and their supporters' in the West 'liefare'-style propaganda. (Liefare is called 'taqiyya' in Arabic and is authorized by the Qur'an to advance Islam. (Surah 328 ) One or more of Qur'an 2:173, 2:185, 3:28, 4:29, 16:106, 22:78, 40:28 66:2, are the verses usually cited by Muslim Imams, Mullahs and all Islamic "Schools of Jurisprudence" as justifying taqiyya. Surah 3:28 is quoted most often as the key one. The introductory paragraph in this article, in my opinion as a history-major researcher, is unadulterated political correctness and taqiyya ("liefare") regarding the treatment of Infidels across the Middle East, North Africa and in Europe. It's tone is leftist-academic, Islamic apologetics. WHAT D'HIMMITUDE R-E-A-Lly IS After the murderous, rapid expansion of Muslim control across the Christian Middle East and North Africa in the 7th century, Muslim leaders were required to work out a way of dealing with the non-Muslim residents of their huge conquered areas, the vast majority of whom were Christians, who had not been slaughtered during the conquest or taken as slaves back to Arabia. Christians remained in the majority in most prior-Christian and Muslim-conquered areas for centuries. They needed to be kept in subjugation. The solution was to develop the control technique of the "d'himma", or so-called "protected person" laid down in the "Covenant of Umar I", a 637 AD agreement between the second Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab and Sophronius, the Christian "Patriarch of Jerusalem". The "Pact of Umar", The source document at http://diigo.com/0mmsj is the one tradition says was made by Umar II in 717 AD ...per Wikipedia. Under these comp

      This is historically, broadly documented to be untrue. The Qur'an itself, commands the active humiliation of D'himmis at the time of payment of the tax (jizya). It says: "Fight ... the people of the Book until they pay the Jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued." (Qur'an 9:29) History documents that the Muslim Ulema (top world elders) have always interpreted the concluding phrase of thise text as requiring some physical abuse ...at least the time of annual payment.

      You decide if the conditions below can in any way be described as "compassionate and merciful" ...other than by complete denial of reality. Islam and its Sharia Law denies religious freedom to both Muslims and non-Muslims. Both must be beheaded for apostasy or the slightest criticism of Islam or its Prophet according to the Muslim deity, Allah. Christian please do not be confused by Islamic apologists. Allah is NOT the Christian Triune God, God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit despite Muslim taqiyya claims to the contrary. They themselves chant "Allahu Akbar". Literally, this Arabic expression means "Allah is greater"! This is an accurate translation according to Raymond Ibrahim. He is an Arabic-speaking Christian Copt, raised in Egypt and the U.S., who is an expert on Islam and the Middle East. (Discover his biography at http://is.gd/iehOYz .) What Islamic Jihadists and Street Muslims are really saying when they shout this is: "My god is greater than your God so my religion is superior." ...an insult and the application of a "might makes right" concept.

      Don't miss the inability to repair a church already present in a community ...let alone build a new one. The intent is clear and disgraceful. These barbaric, medieval and freedom-destroying practises from the Arabian desert in the 7t Century are still being enforced against Christians and other non-Muslim groups in the 21st Century around the world, e.g. regularly in 2012 in Egypt, Nigeria and Indonesia to name only the worst persecution and genocide.

      The one-sided Muslim arrogance of this and the next two regulations is publicly demonstrated, still today, by the demands for subservience by some Islamic clerics and politicians, e.g, no Christian diplomatic corps person may display a cross or other jewelry and women diplomats are often forced to wear at least the hijab in their presence or they won't meet ...despite the Islamic "Doctrine of Necessity" which allows them to be exposed to the same sights on the streets in Muslim-dominated countries so they can to get to the meeting. In Saudi Arabia, these regulations are enforced even on its streets and other public places. In some Muslim areas of the world, Christians and Jews especially are now treated by ordinary Street Muslims with this same arrogance , e.g. in 2012 in Egypt where some Copts are even being forced to pay the Jizya now tat the violent-jihadist Muslim Brotherhood has political power.

      Given the humiliation engendered by the self-degradation required in this and the next two regulations, one might wonder if Hitler learned how to debase and humiliate Jews from his Arab friends and allies before WW II because they'd had so much practise at subserving all non-Muslim people groups.
  • We shall always dress in the same way wherever we may be, and we shall bind the zunar round our waists
  • We shall not display our crosses or our books in the roads or markets of the Muslims. We shall use only clappers in our churches very softly. We shall not raise our voices when following our dead. We shall not show lights on any of the roads of the Muslims or in their markets. We shall not bury our dead near the Muslims.
  • We accept these conditions for ourselves and for the people of our community, and in return we receive safe-conduct.

      What would you do if the only alternative was to be slaughtered along with your family and have your belongings confiscated if you did not wish to convert to Islam? Many have done so for the last 1400 years to avoid d'himmitude. These affronts against Christians, particularly, are again regularly being practised Muslim-dominated countries around the world today as I write. So you can pray about the Christian genocide and for the persecuted, you'll find documentation of the persecution each month detailed by nation on the site of Raymond Ibrahim at http://www.raymondibrahim.com/ .

    The status of non-Muslims under Muslim rule is a millennia of horror stories despite Islamist and Street Muslim 'liefare'-style propaganda to the contrary. Liefare is called 'taqiyya' in Arabic and is athorized by the Qur'an to advance Islam. After the murderous, rapid expansion of Muslim control across the Christian Middle East and North Africa in the 7th century, Muslims leaders were required to work out a way of dealing with the non-Muslims, the vast majority of whom were Christians who had not been killed during the conquest or taken as slaves back to Arabia. Christians remained in the majority in most prior-Christian and Muslim-conquered areas for centuries. They needed to be kept in subjugation. The solution was to develop the control technique of the "d'himma", or so-called "protected person". Each Christian was forced to pay a special tax (jizya) and suffer regular humiliation dictated by Qur'an 9:29 for refusing to convert to Islam. In addition, the mis-named, because it is one-sided, "Pact of Omar" (late 7th Century?) dictated the constant, on-going humiliation of Christians that you can read about in point-form in the Pact at http://diigo.com/0mmsj. In most Muslim-dominated areas of the world, today, Christian D'himmis are far from "protected". Instead, they are severely persecuted, often attacked and their homes and churches are burned. This ongoing warfare against so-called "protected Christians" in the second decade of the 21st Century is commanded and, therefore, justified under Qur'an 4:52, 5:60 & 9:5 in which Jews and Christians are called 'apes' and 'pigs'. Local Street Muslims do so on the basis of thinly-veiled and trumped-up charges of violating the Pact of Omar or disparaging Islam or Muhammad. gfp (2012-01-20)

Jesus thinking on Homosexuality - 0 views

shared by Gary Patton on 28 Apr 12 - No Cached
  • What does Jesus think about Homosexuality?
  • Jesus was especially known for loving the very people that the religious people of his time had condemned and cast out
  • Is homosexuality a sin?
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • “The law commands that she should be stoned to death, what do you say?” Jesus bends down and draws with his finger in the dirt, and then says to them “Let the one who is without sin throw the first stone.”
  • So again, even if we think homosexuality is wrong, we know what Jesus would do in our shoes. He has drawn a line in the sand, and we need to decide what side of that line we will be on. Will we be on the side of Jesus and the one who is being condemned and threatened? Or will we stand with the religious accusers on the other side of that line?
  • Jesus never says a word about homosexuality, but there was one kind of sin that he spoke out against all the time. There was one kind of sin that got Jesus really mad. This was the sin of religious people who shut out those in need of mercy.
  • What this all comes down to is we, as Christians, acting like Jesus. It’s about discerning what Jesus would want us to do right now, and the answer is clear: We need to change our priorities and focus on the critical issue of communicating love and acceptance to people–especially the very people our society so often ostracizes, condemns, and rejects. Because that is exactly what Jesus did.
  • Because as long as our priority is in looking moral rather than in showing compassion and grace to those on the outside, we simply do not have the priorities of Jesus.
  • Now you may have noticed that I didn’t ever say what I thought about whether homosexuality was wrong or right. I didn’t say because this is not about me and what I think. It’s about us as Christians learning to care about what Jesus cares about. This is not about gay rights. It is about about human rights, and that starts with the least. It is about us having the courage to stand with those who are vulnerable. It is about us saying “no” to hate, even when it is done in the name of God–no, especially when it is done in the name of God. It’s about having the guts to draw that line in the sand like Jesus did. Even when that means facing that mob ourselves.

    Jesus may never have spoken about the issue of homosexuality. And He never spoke about the "man at the Gate Beautiful", either. But the Son of God died so that both the blind men and homosexuals might be healed. Jesus didn't speak about homosexuality. But as Immanuel, He knew what the Old Covenant clearly stated. Nonetheless, this article raises some challenging issues for religious people who lean towards justice rather than love in their attitudes to homsexuality. gfp (2012-04-28)

  • It’s not Islamophobia to call a jihadist, a jihadist
  • There is no doubt that such prejudice exists. But there is no doubt, too, that cries of “Islamophobia” are issued to suffocate argument, to deflect or deter analysis of some behaviour that is factually related to Islam. There is no doubt either that some Muslims have acted as terrorists, either singly, or in association with various Islamist groups. To point this out is not a phobia, but a simple respect for reality.
  • there also have been calls suggesting that any reference to the Islamist terrorist connections of the killer would be a species of Islamophobia. This is pure nonsense and folly.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • It is not Islamophobic to note the motives and background of the murderer. In fact, it is a form of cowardice and evasion not to do so.
  • If one decries Islamophobia, then one must condemn bin Laden as its Nile source. Bin Laden, more than any other person, has besmirched the practice and understanding of Islam and engendered suspicion of some of its adherents.
  • Horrors perpetrated in the name of fundamentalist Islam, such as attacks on young girls going to school, the internecine slaughters of various sects, the cruel penalties exacted by the Taliban’s repressive creed — stonings, amputations and executions for apostasy — also feed the angry atmosphere, and they are not phantoms of a prejudiced imagination.
  • Bin Laden’s declared purpose, his “war” on the West, and his overt linkage of his cause with a fundamentalist version of Islam, are the primary drivers of our non-phobic — which is to say, very rational — fear of, and hostility to, manifestations of Islamic fanaticism.
  • in Madrid, London or Bali — it was not Islamophobia when some immediately assumed these were al Qaeda, or Islamist-inspired. It was just a natural first response, the acknowledgement of a pattern. In most cases, that first response proved correct.
  • The too-energetic effort to fall outside the shadow of prejudice has served to distort the response of investigators. Looking for everybody else except the most “likely” suspects first, wastes time and resources.
  • Our most urgently served impulse should be to make common cause with the victims of violence — in this case, Jews
