ISIS Begins Imposing Jizya on Christians in Mosul

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Jizya is the exorbitant poll tax imposed on non-Muslims or dhimmis (non-Muslims aren’t slaughtered but don’t convert to Islam are dhimmis, a sub-class status denied basic human rights). In sharia law, jizya refers either to tribute paid by non-Muslim nations to ward off jihad attack, or to a head tax paid by conquered non-Muslim adult males living under Islamic conditions.

Fight such of those to whom the Scriptures were given as believe in neither God nor the Last Day, who do not forbid what God and His apostle have forbidden, and do not embrace the true Faith, until they pay the tribute by hand with abject submission. (Koran 9:29)

  • From ”The Dhimmi” by Bat Ye’or:
    The dhimmi [non-believer] had to pay a poll tax, the jizya (Koran 9:29), which was assessed at three rates in accordance with the economic condition of each individual male above puberty. According to some jurists, this poll tax was to be paid by each person individually at a humiliating public ceremony in which the dhimmi, while paying it, was struck either on the head or on the nape of the neck. However, Abu Yusuf Ya’qub (d. 798) recommended clemency and justice in the collection of the jizya. Women, paupers, minors, the chronically sick and the crippled were theoretically exempted from this tax. When oppressive taxation provoked a wave of conversions to Islam, the administration imposed a collective sum on each dhimmi community which their notables apportioned between them, irrespective of their numbers. Possession of the receipt for the jizya – originally a  piece of parchment worn around the neck or a seal worn on the wrist or on the chest – enabled the dhimmi to move from place to place. A dhimmi
    traveling without this receipt could be put in jail. The seal of the jizya, characteristic of the dhimmi, was soon regarded as a mark of dishonor. (page 53-54)

One reason why the population of the Middle East is largely Islamic is due to the jizya. To be a dhimmi in Islamic society was to be lower than a second-class citizen. As a result, dhimmis (non-believers) were subjugated to harsh social segregation and political violence. Many non-believers converted to Islam to escape such treatment which led to over the years a decline in non-Muslim communities. The Christian Copts for example were once the majority in Egypt . . . now they are a persecuted minority with no rights or privileges. Though Muslims no longer enforce the jizya on non-believers anymore the social status of dhimmitude is still in effect. (more here)

Throughout history it was the  jizya the financed Islamic military campaigns of conquest.

“ISIS Begins Imposing Poll Tax on Christians in Mosul,” AINA, June 21, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Salama AlKhafaji.

Baghdad (AINA) — According to Alsumaria News, an Arabic language website, the High Commission for Human Rights in Iraq has confirmed that ISIS has begun imposing the jizya, a poll tax, on Christian citizens in Mosul in an attempt to put pressure on them and displace them from the city. The Commission denounced this and called on the government and the international community to put an end to it.A member of the Council of High Commission for Human Rights in Iraq, Salama AlKhafaji, stated in an interview that ISIS “is imposing on Christians a minimum payment of $250, with amount varying depending on the type of work/profession performed by Christian citizens.” She further said that “the economic situation in Mosul is extremely difficult, and there are no financial resources or job opportunities except for vegetable shops, any other businesses are non-existent. Citizens are at a loss now as to how to make ends meet; how can they pay those amounts to ISIS?”

Ms. AlKhafaji denounced “this work”, calling on the Iraqi government and the international community to “put an end to this matter.”

Sources in the Nineveh province confirmed on Friday that ISIS has begun imposing jizya on Christians in Mosul, so as not to kill them or seize their property.
