Should people pay to practice their religion?
Dhimmi - Page 2
I apologize, but I cannot find those stories right now. I have been reading current stories on a regular basis of Muslims kidnapping women in various places, "marrying" them, then killing them if they try to return to Christianity. Sudan is particularly filled with such stories.
Another excellent example is Indonesia, where mobs of Muslims commonly descend on dhimmi Christians, on their houses of worship, schools, businesses and homes, and destroy them. I have also read stories from Indonesia of women being taken against their will, even from their husbands.
I will agree that this is not proper behavior in Islam. However, it IS the reality of life in Muslim societies.
As with any other reports, no Muslim will support these reports. After all, it takes 4 Muslim men to convict ANY Muslim. The dhimmi Christians, Jews, pagans, Hindus, or whatever are not allowed to bear witness against a Muslim. So, the Muslims who commit these crimes go unpunished, as they always have throughout their history.
So, here are a couple of little tidbits of what I consider to be a "dhimmi attitude":

Borders will only stock copies of the Qu'ran on the top shelf. Why? Because Muslims have protested, as any other shelf denotes that it is lower than something else. Where is this happening? In every Borders Bookstore in the world. What would happen if Christians demanded that the Bible be only stocked on the top shelf? How about the Tao Ching? How about Ba'hai books?

UK cemetery bars burials of all but Muslims
| QUOTE |
| A COUNCIL was accused last night of responding to the local government strike by barring burials at its cemetery for anyone who was not Muslim. Funeral directors who attempted to arrange Christian interments at the council-run cemetery in Blackburn, Lancashire, were told that it would be closed throughout yesterday due to the industrial action. Families were forced to re-arrange funeral plans and other mourners were told that they would not be allowed to visit the cemetery to read its book of remembrance. Undertakers were subsequently outraged to discover that the closure would apply only to Christian burials. The local authority had ruled that an emergency service would be provided for Muslims, who - by religious tradition - must be buried as soon as possible after their death. |

AFGHANISTAN : MORE CHRISTIANS ARRESTED IN WAKE OF "APOSTASY"
| QUOTE |
| March 22 (Compass) - An avalanche of media coverage of an Afghan man facing the death penalty for converting to Christianity has apparently sparked the arrest and deepening harassment of other Afghan Christians in the ultra-conservative Muslim country. Authorities arrested Abdul Rahman, 41, last month for apostasy, a capital offense under strict Islamic laws still in place in Afghanistan, which four years ago was wrested from the Taliban regime's hard-line Islamist control. During the past few days, Compass has confirmed the arrest of two other Afghan Christians elsewhere in the country. Because of the sensitive situation, local sources requested that the location of the jailed converts be withheld. This past weekend, one young Afghan convert to Christianity was beaten severely outside his home by a group of six men, who finally knocked him unconscious with a hard blow to his temple. He woke up in the hospital two hours later but was discharged before morning. "Our brother remains steadfast, despite the ostracism and beatings," one of his friends said. Several other Afghan Christians have been subjected to police raids on their homes and places of work in the past month, as well as to telephone threats. |
Of course, these come from Christian and general US sources. They are not sympathetic to the cause of Islam. But they do show how dhimmis are treated - in the real Muslim world.

I just noticed what I consider to be the best definition of "dhimmi" available. You may notice how the definition applies to much of the Western world nowdays.

| Dhimmitude is the status that Islamic law, the Sharia, mandates for non-Muslims, primarily Jews and Christians. Dhimmis, "protected people," are free to practice their religion in a Sharia regime, but are made subject to a number of humiliating regulations designed to enforce the Qur'an's command that they "feel themselves subdued" (Sura 9:29). This denial of equality of rights and dignity remains part of the Sharia, and, as such, is part of the law that global jihadists are laboring to impose everywhere, ultimately on the entire human race. The dhimmi attitude of chastened subservience has entered into Western academic study of Islam, and from there into journalism, textbooks, and the popular discourse. One must not point out the depredations of jihad and dhimmitude; to do so would offend the multiculturalist ethos that prevails everywhere today. |
This comes from the Dhimmi Watch website. It is most definitely NOT unbiased, and doesn't pretend to be.
However, it still is a good definition. And I think that it is a good website.
