ISIS Is Islamic! Robert Spencer Proves t, We Exhibit The Evicence

Robert Spencer's Scripture Lesson~Is ISIS Islamic?

Robert Spencer: The Theological Aspects of Islam That Lead to Jihad

    In this video, Robert Spencer proves, with evidence  from Islamic sources, that ISIS is Islamic. I provide quotes from the cited texts plus relevant Sharia.  Qur'an quotes are linked to 50 parallel translations at Islam Awakened. Links to Tafsir Ibn Kathir and Maududi's Tafheem  are below each quote. There is also a link to Ishaq's Sira.
  Relevant quotes from The Reliance Of The Traveller are added  with links to Hedaya and Risala for easy confirmation.





5:46. And in their footsteps, We sent 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) , confirming the Taurât (Torah) that had come before him, and We gave him the Injeel (Gospel), in which was guidance and light and confirmation of the Taurât (Torah) that had come before it, a guidance and an admonition for Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2).
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Maududi's Tafheem

5:65. And if only the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) had believed (in Muhammad ) and warded off evil (sin, ascribing partners to Allâh) and had become Al­Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2) We would indeed have blotted out their sins and admitted them to Gardens of pleasure (in Paradise).

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Maududi's Tafheem

10:94. So if you (O Muhammad ) are in doubt concerning that which We have revealed unto you, [i.e. that your name is written in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] then ask those who are reading the Book [the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] before you. Verily, the truth has come to you from your Lord. So be not of those who doubt (it) .

10:95. And be not one of those who belie the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh, for then you shall be one of the losers.

TafsirIbn Kathir 
Maududi's Tafheem

5:17. Surely, in disbelief are they who say that Allâh is the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary) . Say (O Muhammad ): "Who then has the least power against Allâh, if He were to destroy the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), his mother, and all those who are on the earth together?" And to Allâh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them. He creates what He wills. And Allâh is Able to do all things. 

Tafsir IIbn Kathir 
Maududi's Tafheem

5:72. Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allâh is the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allâh, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allâh, then Allâh has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode . And for the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong­doers) there are no helpers.

5:73. Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allâh is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is no ilâh (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilâh (God -Allâh). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them. 

Tafsir Ibn Kathir 
Maududi's Tafheem

4:157. And because of their saying (in boast), "We killed Messiah 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allâh," - but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of 'Iesa (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not [i.e. 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) ]:.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Maududi's Tafheem

5:14. And from those who call themselves Christians, We took their covenant, but they have abandoned a good part of the Message that was sent to them. So We planted amongst them enmity and hatred till the Day of Resurrection (when they discarded Allâh's Book, disobeyed Allâh's Messengers and His Orders and transgressed beyond bounds in Allâh's disobedience), and Allâh will inform them of what they used to do. 

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Maududi's Tafheem

3:61. Then whoever disputes with you concerning him ['Iesa (Jesus)] after (all this) knowledge that has come to you, [i.e. 'Iesa (Jesus)] being a slave of Allâh, and having no share in Divinity) say: (O Muhammad ) "Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves - then we pray and invoke (sincerely) the Curse of Allâh upon those who lie."

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Maududi's Tafheem

Sahih Bukhari

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 663:

Narrated Hudhaifa:

Al-'Aqib and Saiyid, the rulers of Najran, came to Allah's Apostle with the intention of doing Lian one of them said to the other, "Do not do (this Lian) for, by Allah, if he is a Prophet and we do this Lian, neither we, nor our offspring after us will be successful." Then both of them said (to the Prophet ), "We will give what you should ask but you should send a trustworthy man with us, and do not send any person with us but an honest one." The Prophet said, "I will send an honest man who Is really trustworthy." Then every one of the companions of Allah's Apostle wished to be that one. Then the Prophet said, "Get up, O Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah." When he got up, Allah's Apostle said, "This is the Trustworthy man of this (Muslim) nation." 

9:30. And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allâh, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allâh. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old. Allâh's Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth!

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Maududi's Tafheem

9:74. They swear by Allâh that they said nothing (bad), but really they said the word of disbelief, and they disbelieved after accepting Islâm, and they resolved that (plot to murder Prophet Muhammad ) which they were unable to carry out, and they could not find any cause to do so except that Allâh and His Messenger had enriched them of His Bounty. If then they repent, it will be better for them, but if they turn away, Allâh will punish them with a painful torment in this worldly life and in the Hereafter. And there is none for them on earth as a Walî (supporter, protector) or a helper.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Maududi's Tafheem

9:14. Fight against them so that Allâh will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people, 

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Maududi's Tafheem

9:29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

This verse  is codified in the fiqh of the Shafi'i school of Islamic law: Reliance Of The Traveller Book O9.8 I do not expect the pdf file linked below to survive for long. I have highlighted a crucial clause which proves that  Jihad is offensive, not defensive.  Click through, scroll up and read 9.0 & 9.1  With the exceptions of surprise attacks and  enemy attack, Muslims are required to issue dawah for three days prior to attacking.  To confirm  this Islamic law, refer to the  fiqh of the Hanafi & Maliki madhabs  especialy Hedaya 2.140-145 & 212-216.  In Risala, pay particular attention to Chapter 30.2b.  The  version of Imam Al-Shafi'i's infamous fatwa in Reliance O9.1 is not clear; verify it in page 18 of The Book Of Jihad. 

O9.8: The Objectives of Jihad
The caliph (o25) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians (N: provided he has
first invited them to enter Islam in faith and practice, and if they will not, then invited
them to enter the social order of Islam by paying the non-Muslim poll tax (jizya, def: o11.4)
which is the significance of their paying it, not the money itself while remaining in
their ancestral religions) (O: and the war continues) until they become Muslim or else pay
the non-Muslim poll tax (O: in accordance with the word of Allah Most High,
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day and who forbid not what Allah
and His messenger have forbidden  who do not practice the religion of truth, being of
those who have been given the Book  until they pay the poll tax out of hand and are
humbled" (Koran 9.29),
the time and place for which is before the final descent of Jesus (upon whom be peace).  
After his final coming, nothing but Isla m will be accepted from them, for taking the poll
tax is only effective until Jesus' descent (upon him and our Prophet be peace), which is
the divinely revealed law of Muhammad. The coming of Jesus does not entail a separate
divinely revealed law, for he will rule by the law of Muhammad. As for the Prophet's
saying (Allah bless him and give him peace), "I am the last, there will be no prophet after me,"
this does not contradict the final coming of Jesus (upon whom be peace), since he will not
rule according to the Evangel, but as a follower of our Prophet (Allah bless him and give
him peace)). 

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Maududi's Tafheem

Sahih Bukhari

Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah." Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have."

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 196:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah 's Apostle said, " I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' and whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' his life and property will be saved by me except for Islamic law, and his accounts will be with Allah, (either to punish him or to forgive him.)"

Sahih Bukhari Volume 9, Book 92, Number 388:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
When Allah's Apostle died and Abu Bakr was elected as a Caliph after him, some of the Arabs reverted to disbelief, 'Umar said to Abu Bakr, "How dare you fight the people while Allah's Apostle said, I have been ordered to fight the people till they say 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah' And whoever says: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' saves his wealth and his life from me unless he deserves a legal punishment lusty, and his account will be with Allah! Abu Bakr said, "By Allah, I will fight him who discriminates between Zakat and prayers, for Zakat is the Compulsory right to be taken from the wealth By Allah, if they refuse to give me even a tying rope which they use to give to Allah's Apostle, I would fight them for withholding it." 'Umar said, 'By Allah, It was nothing, except I saw that Allah had opened the chest of Abu Bakr to the fight, and I came to know for certain that was the truth."

8:39. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do. 

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Maududi's Tafheem

This verse is codified in Reliance O9.9 below 9.8

O9.9

The caliph fights all other peoples until they become Muslim (O: because they are not a people with a Book, nor honored as such, and are not permitted to settle with paying the poll tax (jizya) ) (n: though according to the Hanafi school, peoples of all other religions, even idol worshippers, are permitted to live under the protection of the Islamic state if they either become Muslim or agree to pay the poll tax, the sole exceptions to which are apostates from Islam and idol worshippers who are Arabs, neither of whom has any choice but becoming Muslim (al-Hidaya sharh Bidaya al-mubtadi' (y21), 6.48-49) ).

Sahih Muslim Book 019, Number 4294:
    It has been reported from Sulaiman b. Buraid through his father that when the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) appointed anyone as leader of an army or detachment he would especially exhort him to fear Allah and to be good to the Muslims who were with him. He would say: Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war, do not embezzle the spoils; do not break your pledge; and do not mutilate (the dead) bodies; do not kill the children. When you meet your enemies who are polytheists invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and withold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them. Then invite them to migrate from their lands to the land of Muhairs and inform them that, if they do so, they shall have all the privileges and obligations of the Muhajirs. If they refuse to migrate, tell them that they will have the status of Bedouin Muilims and will be subjected to the Commands of Allah like other Muslims, but they will not get any share from the spoils of war or Fai' except when they actually fight with the Muslims (against the disbelievers). If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them...

O9.6

It is offensive to conduct a military expedition against hostile non-Muslims without the caliph's permission (A: though if there is no caliph (def: o25), no permission is required).

    Note  however, that Islam considers disbelief to be waging war against Allah, so all Jihad  can be considered defensive in  their demon possessed minds.  

47:4. So, when you meet (in fight Jihâd in Allâh's Cause), those who disbelieve smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives). Thereafter (is the time) either for generosity (i.e. free them without ransom), or ransom (according to what benefits Islâm), until the war lays down its burden. Thus [you are ordered by Allâh to continue in carrying out Jihâd against the disbelievers till they embrace Islâm (i.e. are saved from the punishment in the Hell-fire) or at least come under your protection], but if it had been Allâh's Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight), in order to test you, some with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allâh, He will never let their deeds be lost, 

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Maududi's Tafheem

4:3. And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan­girls, then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (the captives and the slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice. 

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Maududi's Tafheem

4:24. Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those (captives and slaves) whom your right hands possess. Thus has Allâh ordained for you. All others are lawful, provided you seek (them in marriage) with Mahr (bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) from your property, desiring chastity, not committing illegal sexual intercourse, so with those of whom you have enjoyed sexual relations, give them their Mahr as prescribed; but if after a Mahr is prescribed, you agree mutually (to give more), there is no sin on you. Surely, Allâh is Ever All­Knowing, All­Wis

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Maududi's Tafheem

23:6. Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, for then, they are free from blame; 

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Maududi's Tafheem 

33:50. O Prophet (Muhammad )! Verily, We have made lawful to you your wives, to whom you have paid their Mahr (bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage), and those (captives or slaves) whom your right hand possesses - whom Allâh has given to you, and the daughters of your 'Amm (paternal uncles) and the daughters of your 'Ammah (paternal aunts) and the daughters of your Khâl (maternal uncles) and the daughters of your Khâlah (maternal aunts) who migrated (from Makkah) with you, and a believing woman if she offers herself to the Prophet, and the Prophet wishes to marry her; a privilege for you only, not for the (rest of) the believers. Indeed We know what We have enjoined upon them about their wives and those (captives or slaves) whom their right hands possess, - in order that there should be no difficulty on you. And Allâh is Ever Oft­Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Maududi's Tafheem

3:28. Let not the believers take the disbelievers as Auliyâ (supporters, helpers, etc.) instead of the believers, and whoever does that will never be helped by Allâh in any way, except if you indeed fear a danger from them. And Allâh warns you against Himself (His Punishment), and to Allâh is the final return. 

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Maududi's Tafheem

60:4. Indeed there has been an excellent example for you in Ibrâhim (Abraham) and those with him, when they said to their people: "Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides Allâh, we have rejected you, and there has started between us and you, hostility and hatred for ever, until you believe in Allâh Alone," except the saying of Ibrâhim (Abraham) to his father: "Verily, I will ask for forgiveness (from Allâh) for you, but I have no power to do anything for you before Allâh ." Our Lord! In You (Alone) we put our trust, and to You (Alone) we turn in repentance, and to You (Alone) is (our) final Return,

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Maududi's Tafheem

33:21. Indeed in the Messenger of Allâh (Muhammad ) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allâh and the Last Day and remembers Allâh much.

Pamela Geller Reams Them a New Orifice

Pamela Geller Reams Them a New Orifice. Pamela Geller is fast, frustrated & furious in this 40 minute video she reams indolent society a badly needed new orifice.  She has much more than she can say in such a short time, but she gives us a very good outline, drawing her points together to form a circle which encompasses the globe full of issues.

    Its war, and you are an army of one. Pamela is your General.  She gives you your orders: learn and teach others.  If you do nothing more, at least watch this video and share it with everyone who will listen.  Thanks and a tip of the hat to Front Page Magazine
http://frontpagemag.com/2011/09/23/pamela-geller-wednesday-morning-club/

    Reading the Qur'an is not easy because it is archaic, redundant and jumbled, lacking context & chronology.  The Noble Qur'an, translated by Hilali & Khan, is reputed to be 95% accurate and contains parenthetical expressions from tafsirs and the translator's footnotes.  Several Surahs are essential to understanding the malignantly militant nature of Islam: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 33, 47, 48, 49 & 61.  You can select them from a pick list at the top of the page.

    Hadith are sayings of Muhammad, passed down from mouth to ear by his companions.  They have been collected by several scholars, the most widely accepted collection being that of Bukhari. Like the Qur'an, hadith collections suffer from redundancy.  Begin with Books 52, 53 & 59, then read the others if you have sufficient patience. 

    Tafsir are scholarly explanations of the Qur'an. They use parallel verses and relevant ahadith to clarify the verses. Tafsir Ibn Kathir is fairly complete and easily accessible. You can select the Surahs listed above and read them instead of the Qur'an & hadith to save time and effort. 

    Islamic biography and history are also important, but less easily accessible than the Qur'an, hadith and tafsir.  Craig Winn compiled  selections  of the canon into a 1000 page book with the quotes compiled into handy appendices  "The Prophet of Doom". 

    For those lacking the time, patience and ambition to tackle the large tomes, there is a short book which encapsulates the  most essential information: Suhas Majumdar's "Jihad: The Islamic Doctrine of Permanent War".

    Pamela Geller raises the issue of Shari'ah: Islamic law based on the Qur'an & hadith.  Much of it is arcane, dealing with matters of prayer & ritual purity.  The really important parts deal with "justice", marriage & divorce.  It will be easier for you go go to Amazon and buy a hard copy of Reliance of the Traveller.  If you can tolerate a low resolution scan and large, pdf, this link will get you into Chapter 9 of Book O; "Justice".You can scroll up to Books  N & M.

    If you delve deeply into Reliance, you will discover that divorce is affected by the husband's thrice repeating "I divorce you".  You will discover that a father can force his virgin, pre-pubescent daughter to marry the man of his choice.  You will learn that a Christian woman married to a Muslim can not obtain child custody in divorce.

Islam: Freedom of Religion

I want you to see a video which  discloses some of the suffering of Copts in Egypt. Copts are are indigenous Christians who suffer great injustice under Islamic domination.

    The video, which runs 14 minutes and 34 seconds, is in Arabic with English sub titles.   It gives us a  window into the persecution of Christians conquered by Islam. who are persecuted for attempting to build churches and worship.   You will see one story about 32 Christians arrested for meeting in a house to pray.

    I can't find the information required to embed the video, which was posted on Facebook, just click this link to view it.  The video advertises the Free Copts web site, where you can find many articles about current events, including the oppression of Egyptian Copts.

    To fully comprehend what is happening in Egypt, you need to know that Muslims consider their system and themselves superior to all others.  Non-Muslims are to be humiliated and punished for not being Muslim.  This sample of Surah Al-Imran will help you to understand. [Emphasis added.]


3:110. You [true believers in Islâmic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad  and his Sunnah (legal ways, etc.)] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma'rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islâm has forbidden), and you believe in Allâh. And had the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them; among them are some who have faith, but most of them are Al-Fâsiqûn (disobedient to Allâh - and rebellious against Allâh's Command).

3:111. They will do you no harm, barring a trifling annoyance; and if they fight against you, they will show you their backs, and they will not be helped.

3:112. Indignity is put over them wherever they may be, except when under a covenant (of protection) from Allâh, and from men; they have drawn on themselves the Wrath of Allâh, and destruction is put over them. This is because they disbelieved in the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh and killed the Prophets without right. This is because they disobeyed (Allâh) and used to transgress beyond bounds (in Allâh's disobedience, crimes and sins).

3:110  identifies the subject, 3:111  assures Muslims of an easy victory;  3:112 tells us that people of the scriptures are covered with indignity and destruction. One hadith clarifies this matter better than any other.


Moe's arrogance comes through loud and clear; Muslims share that arrogance as part of emulating their Profit.   Islamic law sets the seal on the issue. The following quotes are from Reliance of the Traveller, Book O, Chapter 9.  Turn to page 507 of the pdf file to verify these quotes.  I post this because I want you to see just how  tolerant Islam is;  there is a need to know.  If you don't know about this, you can not detect the lies spewed by Muslims and our elected traitors.

o11.0 NON·MUSLIM SUBJECTS OF THE
 ISLAMIC STATE (AHL AL-DHIMMA)
o11.1 A formal agreement of protection is made
with citizens who are:
(1) Jews'
(2) Christians;
(3) Zoroastrians;
(4) Samaritans and Sabians, if their religions do not
respectively contradict the fundamental bases of Judaism and Christianity;
(5) and those who adhere to the religion of Abraham
or one of the other prophets (upon whom be blessings and peace).

011.2 Such an agreement may not be effected
with those who are idol worshippers (dis: o9.9(n:»,
or those who do not have a Sacred Book
or something that could have been a Book.
(A: Something that could have been a Book
refers to those like the Zoroastrians, who have
 remnants resembling an ancient Book. As for the
 psuedoscriptures of cults that have appeared since
 Islam (n: such as the Sikhs, Baha'is, Mormons,
Qadianis, etc.), they neither are nor could be a
Book, since the Koran is the final revelation (dis: w4).)

011.3 Such an agreement is only valid when the
subject peoples:

(a) follow the rules of Islam (A: those mentioned
below (011.5) and those involving public behavior and dress,
though in acts of worship and their private lives, the subject
communities have their own laws, judges, and courts,
enforcing the rules of their own religion among themselves);
(b) and pay the non-Muslim poll tax Jizya).

    Notice that there is a "treaty of protection", for which  refer back to 3:112, quoted above. This treaty is only imposed upon people who have been conquered or intimidated so that they surrender to Muslims who attacked them.  [9:29]

    Notice that idol worshipers, Sikhs, Baha'is & Mormons who are specifically excluded,  must be fought until they are dead or Muslim [o9.9]. 

THE NON-MUSLIM POLL TAX
011.4 The minimum non-Muslim poll tax is one
dinar (n: 4.235 grams of gold) per person (A: per
year). The maximum is whatever both sides agree
upon. It is collected with leniency and politeness, as
are all debts, and is not levied on women, children.
or the insane.

    The current  price of gold is $39.53.(08/23/'10) at that rate, the minimum jizya  is $170.97. It appears that the maximum may have been one half of the annual production extracted from the Jews of Khaibar.

o11.5 Such non-Muslim subjects are obliged to comply with Islamic rules
that pertain to the safety and indemnity of life, reputation, and property.
In addition, they:
(1) are penalized for committing adultery or theft, though not for drunkenness;
(2) are distinguished from Muslims in dress, wearing a wide cloth belt (zunnar);
(3) are not greeted with "as-Salamu 'alaykum" ;
(4) must keep to the side of the street;
(5) may not build higher than or as high as the Muslims' buildings, though if they
acquire a tall house, it is not razed;
(6) are forbidden to openly display wine or pork, (A: to ring church bells or
display crosses,) recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display
of their funerals and feast days;
(7) and are forbidden to build new churches.

o11.6 They are forbidden to reside in the Hijaz, meaning the area and
towns around Mecca, Medina, and Yamama, for more than three days
(when the caliph allows them to enter there for something they need).

    `I added emphasis to a few important items in that list to make them stand out.  Reexamine #4 in the light of this quote: "when you meet any one of them on the roads force him to go to the narrowest part of it." from  Sahih Muslim 26.5389.

    The sixth item in that list prohibits ringing  church bells, displaying crosses, reading the scripture aloud  and public funeral processions.  The seventh item proscribes church construction.  Did someone mention freedom of religion?  Why can't Copts build churches?  

    O11.10 lists acts which violate the treaty of protection. Pay close attention to these.

011. IO The agreement is also violated (A: with
 respect to the offender alone) if the state has stipu-
lated that any of the following things break it, and
one of the suhjects does so anyway. though if the
state has not stipulated that these break the agree-
ment, then they do not; namely, if one of the subject
people:

(1) commits adultery with a Muslim woman or marries her:
(2) conceals spies of hostile forces;
(3) leads a Muslim away from Islam;
(4) kills a Muslim;
(5) or mentions something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet
(Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam.

011.11 When a subject's agreement with the state
has been violated, the caliph chooses between the
four alternatives mentioned above in connection
with prisoners of war (09.14).

    If you, as a dhimmi, make the mistake of marrying a Muslim woman or criticizing Islam, what happens to you under Shari'ah?

09.14 When an adult male is taken captive, the
caliph (def: 025) considers the interests (0: of
Islam and the Muslims) and decides between
the prisoner's death, slavery, release without
paying anything, or ransoming himself in
exchange for money or for a Muslim captive
held by the enemy.

If the prisoner becomes a Muslim (0: before
the caliph chooses any of the four alternatives)
then he may not be killed, and one of the other
three alternatives is chosen.

    As a violator of the treaty of protection, you can be killed or enslaved.  Why the reference to disposition  of prisoners of war?  You  become a dhimmi as a result of conquest or intimidation.  You are a prisoner of war.  Why the provision for adult males; what happens to women and children?

09.13 When a child or a woman is taken captive,
they become slaves by the fact of capture, and the
woman's previous marriage is immediately annulled.

    Got a clue yet?  Are you ready for building "bridges of understanding?" Do you want America to be "Shari'ah compliant"?   How are you going to understand Islam without exploring its canon of scripture, tradition, exegesis & jurisprudence?  Can you trust what any Muslim tells you?  Can you trust what any politician tells you?  Can you trust what the talking heads tell you?

    Islamic law covers every facet of human life, from conception to burial. Much of it, such as the rituals and requirements of  wudu & salat  are arcane & esoteric,  downright silly if not obscene.  The parts I showed you, about religious liberty and war, are more directly related to our lives.   There are others, such as marriage, divorce and genital mutilation.   But I wish to leave you with something more important; more directly linked to the privileges & immunities of American citizens.  As a Christian, you can not testify in court; as a female, your testimony has half the weight of a male's.

o24.2 Legal testimony is only acceptable from a witness who:
(a) is free;
(b) is fully legally responsible (mukallaf, def: c8.1) (0: as
testimony is not accepted from a child or insane person,
even when the child's testimony regards injuries among
children that occurred at play);
(e) is able to speak;
(d) is mentally awake;
(e) is religious (0: meaning upright (024.4)
(A: and Muslim), for Allah Most High says,
"Let those of rectitude among you testify" (Koran 65:2),
and unbelief is the vilest form of corruption, as goes without saying);

o24.7 The testimony of the following is legally acceptable
when it concerns cases involving property,
or transactions dealing with property, such as sales:
(1) two men;
(2) two women and a man;
(3) or a male witness together with the oath of the plaintiff.

024.8 If testimony does not concern property, such as a
marriage or prescribed legal penalties,
then only two male witnesses may testify (A: though the
Hanafi school holds that two women and a man may testify for marriage). [Emphasis added.]
