The Muslim Brotherhood and its supporters have began forcing the roughly 15,000 Christian Copts of Dalga village in Egypt to pay a jizya tax as indicated in Koran 9:29, author and translator Raymond Ibrahim reported on Sunday.Jizya is the money, or tribute, “that conquered non-Muslims historically had to pay to their Islamic overlords ‘with willing submission and while feeling themselves subdued’ to safeguard their existence,” Mr. Ibrahim explained.


In some cases, families not able to pay have been attacked. As many as 40 Christian families have now fled Dalga, Mr. Ibrahim reported.
The taxes are not unique to Egypt either.
Just over the weekend Syrian rebels went into a Christian man’s “shop and gave him three options: become Muslim; pay $70,000 as a tax levied on non-Muslims, known as jizya; or be killed along with his family,” Christian Science Monitor reported.

The rest of us? They're not at war with me, I don't live in Egypt or Syria.

I really wish you would make up your mind here. In numerous other posts of yours on the Syrian topic you state things like
There is nobody in Syria to fight for. Therefore we should stay out of it.
and
Who gives a **** about Syria. Not our problem.

One minute what happens in Syria is not your problem, in the next breath you're apparently all concerned about Christian families in syria.

Meanwhile, some of us are consistently concerned about all of the innocent civillians caught up in the mess. Christian and non Christian.

They were supported by your president.
If they are your enemy, than you have the enemy inside.
I'm starting to think that maybe Obama is an infiltrated of Al-Qaeda. :confused:
