Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood to Coptic Christians: Convert to Islam, or pay ‘jizya’ tax

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.

According to Fr. Yunis Shawqi, who spoke yesterday to Dostor reporters in Dalga, all Copts in the village, “without exception,” are being forced to pay the tax.

“[The] value 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,” Mr. Shawqi said, according to the translator.

That's a better deal than Syrian Christians are getting.

Doesn't mean they don't exist anymore.

You and I both know that these idiots like taking over villages and imposing their will on the locals. al Qaeda isn't in power in Syria and that didn't stop them from doing exactly what the OP stated in a small village there.
 
This is what is real religious extremism.

You can slam American Christians in the other threads all you want. Doesn't make what you're saying truthful.

This is exactly why our Founders put a wall of separation between church and state.

I would not take this story as gospel truth just yet. It is based on a single biased source.

There is no such wall.

Try reading the Constitution.
