Mulling over George Pope to Steve Asher 11 Oct 2006

SA> It's a bit like a "Punch and Judy" show - clearly visible
in the window
SA> is Islam, with its push for a global Caliphate under Sharia Law - 
SA> harsh, oppressive, "medieval". Less visible, with perhaps only its 
SA> shadow visible, is the Noahide system, with its "Noahide Laws", not 
SA> Jewish, not Christian, but a proxy of Judaism, where the Sanhedrin 
SA> has oversight and control of the "Noahide Courts" to be established 
SA> in the gentile nations, and where the penalty is death by beheading 
SA> for most breaches of the "Noahide Laws".
SA> Sharia Law is, according to some Muslim and Jewish sources, compatible
SA> with Noahide Law, but if I were a Muslim, I'd be keeping a watch for my
SA> local Noahide "enforcers", if I was celebrating some
proscribed religious
SA> festival, such as Ramadan.

 GP> A key difference:

 GP> Islam states plainly that EVERYBODY in the world MUST become
 GP> Musliem, or DIE! 

Where does Islam state that plainly, george?

No handwaving or dissembling necessary, just a straightforward cite.

Hint: see dhimmi / dhimmitude / jizya / "tribute" / Surah 9:29 etc.


DHIMMI

A person belonging to the category of "protected people" (ahl ad-
Dhimmah) in the Islamic state. Only those from the "people of the
Book" (Jews and Christians) can become Dhimmis and then have certain
rights, like privately worshipping according to their religion, as
long as they pay the "protection money" (jizya) but are not considered
citizens of the country. Their status has to be one of humiliation
(Surah 9:29).

One needs to understand this term "protected people" properly.
Protected from whom? From the Muslims! It is the same dynamic as when
the mafia comes to a shop owner and tells him, from now on we are
protecting you, and you are going to pay us such amount of money for
this protection. You will not have to bear a weapon yourself. We take
that responsibility.
