Now that the attacks on Egypt\u2019s Christian churches have subsided, stage two of the jihad \u2014 profiting from the fear and terror caused by stage one \u2014 is setting in:reports<\/a>\u00a0are arriving that the Muslim Brotherhood and its supporters are forcing the roughly 15,000 Christian Copts of Dalga village in south Minya province to payjizya<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 the money, or tribute, that conquered non-Muslims historically had to pay to their Islamic overlords \u201cwith willing submission and while feeling themselves subdued\u201d to safeguard their existence, as indicated in Koran 9:29.<\/p>\n

According to Fr. Yunis Shawqi, who spoke yesterday to\u00a0Dostor<\/em>\u00a0reporters in Dalga, all Copts in the village, \u201cwithout exception,\u201d are being forced to pay tribute, just as their forefathers did nearly 1400 years ago when the sword of Islam originally invaded Christian Egypt. \u00a0He said that the \u201cvalue of the tribute and method of payment differ from one place to another in the village, so that, some are being expected to pay 200 Egyptian pounds per day, others 500 Egyptian pounds per day\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

In some cases, those not able to pay have been attacked, their wives and children beaten and\/or kidnapped. \u00a0As a result, some 40 Christian families have now fled Dalga, joining the\u00a0ever growing list of displaced Christians in the Middle East<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the same in Syria and Iraq. \u00a0\u201dRebels\u201d\u00a0recently went<\/a>\u00a0to a Christian man\u2019s \u201cshop and gave him three options: become Muslim; pay $70,000 as a tax levied on non-Muslims, known as\u00a0jizya; or be killed along with his family\u2026. \u00a0Androus from Mosul, Iraq\u2026 says he received a similar demand via telephone. \u2018Because you are infidels, you have to pay\u00a0jizya,\u2019 he recalled being told over the phone. \u2018Either you pay\u00a0jizya, or we will kill you or your son.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Collecting jizya from non-Muslims was interrupted in the 19th century, thanks to European intervention. \u00a0Today, the jizya and other injustices against Mideast Christians \u2014 in Libya, Egypt, Syria, and Iraq \u2014 have returned precisely thanks to Western intervention, in this case, U.S. support for the Muslim Brotherhood and its jihadi offshoots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
