Egypt: Desire for Money – Jizya – Prompts Attacks on Christians
7th July 2011
If growing numbers of Muslims in Egypt have an intrinsic hatred for all things Christian— demonstrated days ago by the torching of eight Christian homes on the rumor that a church was being built—let us not forget that this hate has instrumental, that is, economic benefits: the extortion of money from the non-believer—tribute from the conquered infidels to their Islamic overlords—otherwise known as jizya.
Considering that Mohammed spent much of his career as an armed robber (and mass murderer), this should come as no surprise. Perhaps Tony Soprano missed his true calling.
