These so-called “oppressed” dhimmis openly declared their desire to be under Muslim rule because it was just and fair. The famous French political thinker, Montesquieu, also highlights the fair treatment of non-Muslim citizens in Muslim lands:

Coming from Mosque Service, Muslims Kill Christians: Common Pattern in Egypt

According to Dr. Ashraf Ramelah, founder and president of Voice of the Copts, a human rights nonprofit organization, Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood (MB) "may be officially and legally designated a terrorist organization and lawfully hunted down, but as of yet the MB is busy with business as usual in Cairo.

Egypt's national newspaper, Al Fagar, reported the most recent incident of MB hoodlums murdering Christians."

BAGHDAD, IRAQ (Worthy News)– Gangs in Baghdad are seizing homes left vacant by Christian families who have been forced to flee from sectarian violence, according to Barnabas Aid.

"Most of them are afraid of submitting complaints to the government because they do not believe they can protect themselves if they file a lawsuit," said William Warda, head of the Baghdad-based Hammurabi Human Rights Organization.

Iraq's Christians are most at risk of having their homes seized as they lack the tribal affiliations that protect their Arab Muslim neighbors.

After the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, there was a surge in anti-Christian threats, kidnappings and murders, prompting thousands of Iraqi Christians to flee. But many who left didn't sell their properties in the hope of one day returning, but eventually they were forced to sell their homes at rates well below market value because Muslim gangs simply took over their properties.

In its 2013 human rights report, the U.S. State Department said that internal corruption prevented the Iraqi government from effectively adjudicating property restitution claims that often disproportionately affected Christian communities.

Many Christians who left their homes fled to the autonomous region of Kurdistan where most now live peacefully in their own neighborhoods.

Negotiations ongoing for Italian Jesuit's release in Syria

ANSA) - Beirut, April 21 - Negotiations have been ongoing at various levels in Syria and outside the country for the liberation of Father Paolo Dall'Oglio, an Italian Jesuit priest who went missing in the north of the country in July, for several months, ANSA sources said Monday. The sources close to the negotiations, who asked to remain anonymous, said that "there was comforting news about Dall'Oglio being alive" two weeks ago.
But they also stressed that "there can be no certainty about this, given the difficulty in penetrating the organisation that is keeping him prisoner". The sources added that Dall'Oglio is being held in northern Syria by a branch of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), an al-Qaeda-linked group led by fighters from Iraq and other countries. The Italian foreign ministry said Monday that it was maintaining "maximum confidentiality" about the case.

1,000 Christian, Hindu girls forced to convert to Islam every year in Pakistan:

Around 1,000 Christian and Hindu women in Pakistan are forcibly converted to Islam and married to Muslim men every year, says a report released by Movement for Solidarity and Peace (MSP) on Monday.

The report says the estimates of the incidence of forced marriage and conversion range from 100 to 700 victim Christian girls and 300 Hindu girls every year, adding that the true scale of the problem is likely to be much greater, as a number of cases are never reported or do not progress through the law-enforcement and legal systems.

The report has categorised the concurrent incidence of forced conversions and forced marriages as a distinct crime specific to minority Christian women in Punjab.

The report says that cases of forced marriages/conversions follow a distinctive pattern. Christian girls - usually between the ages of 12 and 25 - are abducted, converted to Islam and married to the abductor or third party.

The victim's family usually files a First Information Report (FIR) for abduction or rape with the local police station. The abductor, on behalf of the victim girl, files a counter FIR, accusing the Christian family of harassing the willfully converted and married girl, and for conspiring to convert the girl back to Christianity.

Upon production in the courts or before the magistrate, the victim girl is asked to testify whether she converted and married of her own free will or if she was abducted. In most cases, the girl remains in custody of the abductor while judicial proceedings are carried out.

Upon the girl's pronouncement that she wilfully converted and consented to the marriage, the case is settled without relief for the family. Once in the custody of the abductor, the victim girl may be subjected to sexual violence, rape, forced prostitution, human trafficking and sale, or other domestic abuse.

In its report, MSP has included 10 illustrative cases victims who have been subjected to such patterns of violence and injustice.

Shafi: Allah’s Bangladesh not for non-believers

Shah Ahmed Shafi, the chief of radical Islamist platform Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh, yesterday said the persons who do not believe in Almighty Allah would not be allowed to live in Bangladesh.

“We are Muslims. We have no conflict with anybody. But the persons, who are living in the country of Allah, and taking different facilities from Him, cannot live in His country,” Shafi said at a two-day Islamic Conference at Laldighi ground in the port city.

“We have no conflict with [Prime Minister] Sheikh Hasina, Awami League, Bangladesh Chhatra League and others. They are our friends. If we become good human beings then the country will become Sonar Bangla. We have to become good people to live in the country peacefully,” he added.

Some 12 of the platform’s central leaders out of 24 who are accused in 42 cases filed with different police stations of Dhaka and Chittagong also attended the programme, organised by Hefazat. The leaders include Secretary General Junaid Babunagari and Organising Secretary Azizul Haq Islamabadi.

Police, however, did not arrest them since they were on bail, Inspector (investigation) Nezam Uddin of Kotwali police station told the Dhaka Tribune.

Some 200 police personnel were deployed at Laldighi which is located near the CMP headquarters, Chittagong Court Building and deputy commissioner’s office.

Earlier, the Chittagong Metropolitan Police allowed the Qawmi madrasa-based platform to hold the programme on 12 separate conditions. The police had asked the Hefazat leadership not to invite the accused, who are not on bail, on the stage to address the event, and not to give provocative speeches.

However, Babunagari reiterated the demand for formulating a law (anti-blasphemy law) keeping the provision of death penalty against those who demean Prophet Mohammad (SM).

“We will resist them who make derogatory remarks about our prophet,” he said adding that no “atheist” could live in the country.

He also said people from other religion had the right to live in the country “as it is a democratic country.”

Other leaders of the platform threatened that the government would be destroyed if it had revised the Qawmi madrasa education system.

Hefazat Central Committee Joint Secretary General Mahmudul Hasan, Chittagong city unit Nayeb-e-Ameer ATM Taher, Dhaka city unit Publicity Secretary Altaf Hossain and Mufti Amini’s son Mufti Abul Hasnat Amini also spoke at the programme chaired by Chittagong city unit Nayeb-e-Ameer Shamsuddhoha

S.Abedini, American pastor held in Iran, in hospital but denied surgery

Since mid-March, Pastor Saeed Abedini has been in an Iranian hospital getting treatment for internal injuries suffered at Rajai Shahr Prison, according to his American legal team. While they are pleased he is in a hospital, they said he is not getting needed surgery for his injuries, which they claim came at the hands of his guards and fellow inmates. Jordan Sekulow, executive director of the American Center for Law and Justice, said there appears to be a struggle within the Iranian government over what to do with Abedini, who is 33 and the married father of two children back home in Boise, Idaho.

"Inside Iran there is a discussion because they know the severity of having an American," Sekulow said. "But they face a hard-line opposition within their ranks to keep him in prison."

Sekulow adds that Abedini is currently receiving better care and treatment while in the hospital, including decent food, medicine and monitoring. But family members who have visited him say he is still in severe pain and could be returned to the brutal conditions of prison without notice.

"As good as this is, he could be taken back at a moment's notice," he said. "He went into prison as a healthy guy. The abuse from the guards and other inmates, all of it has taken its physical toll."

The hospital where Abedini is staying is private, and his family must foot the bill for his treatment. He originally was chained to his bed and treated roughly, which aggravated his injuries, Sekulow said.

Abedini has served just one year of an eight-year sentence meted out to him for allegedly evangelizing in his homeland. His supporters say he has been beaten and tortured in the prison, and that he was only in Iran to try to start a secular orphanage.

Abedini had been making one of his frequent visits to see his home country to see his parents and other family. He spent many years as a Christian leader and community organizer developing Iran's underground home churches for worshippers who converted to Christianity.

During a trip in September 2012, he was pulled off a bus by authorities and arrested for allegedly evangelizing.

Scores of international humanitarian groups and government officials -- including President Obama -- have called on Iran to release Abedini, but the Iranian government has so far rebuffed them. Abedini's supporters are pressing the U.S. government to make his plight, as well as two other Americans being held in Iran, part of the ongoing nuclear disarmament negotiations.

DAMASCUS, SYRIA (BosNewsLife)-- Aid workers remain concerned over dozens of mainly elderly Christians in north-west Syria, after Islamic militants overran a Christian town, killing some 80 people, and forcing thousands of local residents to flee.

At least 13 Christians were beheaded, churches were desecrated and homes looted, said the Barnabas Fund, which supports Christians in heavily Islamic nations.

"Militants from the al-Qaeda-[terror group] linked al-Nusra Front [and groups] Sham al-Islam and Ansar al-Sham attacked Kessab on the Turkish border early on Friday March 23," Barnabas Fund told BosNewsLife in a statement.

"Around 3,000 Armenian Christian residents fled for their lives, taking refuge in neighbouring Latakia and Bassit."

However, "a dozen or so families with members too elderly to leave remained in Kessab and were subsequently taken hostage," Barnabas Fund said. Of those who fed, some relatives were reportedly staying with relatives and and friends, but many Christians were seen sheltering in over-crowded church buildings.

DISPLACED FAMILIES

Barnabas Fund said partners in Syria have been helping the displaced Christian families, "who fled empty-handed".

The group explained that its workers are "are providing food, clothing, hygiene materials and other essentials."

Following the Islamist takeover of Kessab, a strategically important town, the Syrian army launched a counter-offensive to regain control of the territory but fighting still continues, according to aid workers.

Kessab was the last border crossing with Turkey still in Syrian government hands. It had previously been relatively peaceful and was full of refugees who had fled violence in other parts of Syria, Barnabas Fund said.

Barnabas Fund expressed concern that Turkey, "which has sided with the rebels in the Syrian civil war" has provided access for fighters, money and supplies, and "allowed hundreds of Islamist militants to cross its border on Friday to attack Kessab".

Christians CONCERNED

Christians have expressed concerns that Islamic militants have infiltrated what is known as the Free Syrian Army, an armed
structure with a wide variety of rebels.

Tensions between the Syrian government and Turkey intensified when the Turkish military shot down a Syrian fighter jet recently that crossed its border on during a battle over the town.

In published remarks the Armenian National Committee – International, which represents Armenian Christians, condemned the attacks on Kessab and Turkey’s role in them.

"For months, we have warned the international community of the imminent threat posed by extremist foreign fighters
against the Christian minority population in Syria." The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) has reportedly written to American President Barack Obama urging him to press NATO ally Turkey to stop "facilitating attacks by foreign fighters associated with US-designated terrorist groups."

ANCA said Turkey’s actions were “a horrifying and bitter reminder” of the Armenian genocide. It recalled that between 1894 and 1923, more than 1.5 million Armenian and Assyrian Christians were killed by the Turkish forces. Turkey has denied there was an Armenian Genocide, saying many died of starvation and hunger. (With reporting by BosNewsLife's Stefan J. Bos).

Blimey now smelly supports my view point with what I highlighted, well done he is learning

apparently the jihadists didn't get the "don't destroy the churches" memo

So smelly is on melt down mode because he cannot argue his view point and proves mine more with how some modern Muslims interpret the Islamic faith

In a video released Saturday, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau - declared a global terrorist by the United States, which has placed a bounty on his head worth $7 million (5 million euros) - spoke in both Arabic and northern Nigeria's Hausa language, with a Kalashnikov resting on his left shoulder. He threatened further attacks.

"We are in your city, but you don't know where we are," Shekau says in the video.

Monday's bus station bombing killed at least 75 people on the outskirts of the capital, Abuja, hours before gunmen kidnapped 129 girls aged 15 to 18 from a school in northeastern Borno state, Boko Haram's base. In a separate attack last week on Sunday, Boko Haram allegedly killed scores more people.

Hostages still sought

In the 28-minute video, Shekau makes no mention of the young women kidnapped from the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok on Monday, but the military, local officials and girls who have escaped have blamed that attack on Boko Haram. Officials say dozens have broken free, but 85 remain unaccounted for. Parents and townspeople have joined security forces and vigilantes searching the dangerous Sambisa Forest for the kidnapped girls.

Chibok, in southern Borno, has a sizeable minority Christian population, but the kidnapped girls included Muslims as well. Boko Haram's name translates as "Western education is forbidden," and attacks targeting schools and universities have become a prominent feature of the group's five-year uprising to create a strict Islamic state in northern Nigeria. In previous attacks, Boko Haram has massacred students while they slept in their dormitories, but the group had never carried out a mass abduction specifically targeting girls.

Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for more than 1,500 deaths and multiple abductions since the start of 2014. The terrorist threat is just one of many challenges Nigeria faces.

Lahore: April 18, 2014. (PCP) Haroon, alias Sunny, aged 22, was murdered by a Muslim colleague who shot him dead on April 16, 2014. He had recently started work at an Islamic in Lahore as a sweeper, where he worked alongside Muslim security guard Umer Farooq.

Farooq mocked Haroon’s Christian faith on a daily basis and forced him to embrace Islam. He started showing dreams to Haroon and told him that he was good looking and should embrace Islam. He also promised to him a life of luxury and marriage to a rich Muslim woman, but Haroon did not care about these things and refused to embrace Islam.

When Haroon told his father what was going on, he was advised to ignore Farooq. On April 16, 2014 Haroon went to work and Farooq again started a conversation about religion and began pressurizing him to embrace Islam. Haroon asked Farooq politely why he was so adamant for him to embrace Islam as he was not ready from his heart. He again clearly refused to convert, stating that he was a true follower of Jesus Christ. Farooq then became aggressive and opened fire on Haroon, with a bullet hitting him the head, killing him on the spot. He later started shouting that Haroon had attempted suicide.

The police took the security guard into custody immediately, but did not register an FIR because they wanted to convert the murder case into suicide. When the local Christians heard about the murder they came out of their houses and staged a protest in front of the police station – it was only then that they lodged an FIR.

Umer Farooq is currently in custody and his case is under investigation.

Nasir Saeed, Director CLAAS-UK, has condemned the killing.

He said that recently we have seen a report published by the MSP stating that 1000 Christian and Hindu girls are being forcibly converted to Islam, while there are also incidents where young boys and some men are also forced to convert to Islam, and if they refused they are killed and implicated in false cases.

Mr Saeed added: “The situation endures because of the government inactions. If people involved in such crimes are brought to justice, then it can act as a deterrent, but instead they are being encouraged by local religious leaders, Imams and Madrasahs.”

He said that the main reason for such crimes is growing religious intolerance and hate against minorities.

“The government must ban religious discussion and forcing non-Muslims to convert to Islam must be considered a crime, otherwise minorities have no future in Pakistan. It is equally dangerous for the government as with the growing violation of human rights, Pakistan could be deprived of the benefits it is receiving from the international community, including GSP plus status.”

As has been the case in numerous other incidents, the police again dragged their heels in registering the case and only did so because Christians in the locality raised their voices in solidarity with Haroon.

Justice must be seen to be done and Farooq must be charged with murder, and punished for killing Haroon just because he refused to forsake his faith and bow to the pressure being placed on him.

Guess i was right, thanks for proving my points smelly..


Back later

 ::rockout:: 

Nigerian Islamists are still holding 85 girls abducted during a raid on a secondary school earlier this week, although 44 have been freed, the state government said on Saturday.

The Boko Haram Islamists, who are fighting for a breakaway Islamic state in northern Nigeria, abducted the girls on Monday in the north-eastern Borno state.

The update from the government contradicts earlier reports that more than 100 of the girls had been freed.

Borno state education commissioner Inuwa Kubo said in a statement late on Saturday that 16 students had managed to flee back home during the night of the attack, while another 28 had escaped after being abducted.

The other 85 were still missing.

"We continually pray that all our students return in good health," Mr Kubo said.

The armed forces said on Wednesday that the military had freed all but eight of the schoolgirls in a rescue operation, but it retracted that statement a day later.

The abduction has underscored just how powerless Nigeria's military is at protecting civilians despite a year-long state of emergency designed to flush the rebels out of three states in the north-east.

Boko Haram's five-year-old struggle is now seen as the main security threat to Africa's leading energy producer.

Kidnapping girls is a tactic Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is forbidden", began using early last year.

It is eerily reminiscent of Uganda's Lord's Resistance Army, which abducted thousands of school-aged girls across central Africa to use as forced "wives" for their commanders.

The kidnapping occurred the same day a bomb blast, also blamed on Boko Haram, killed 75 people on the edge of the capital Abuja, the first attack on the capital in two years.

Young Christian women are facing a greater risk of being kidnapped by extremists, tortured, and even forced to convert to Islam since the Arab Spring ended in 2011.

This year already has seen a spike in the incidents, according to a report by the non-profit advocacy group International Christian Concern. It has been estimated by the ICC and other watchdog groups in the region that there have been 500 reported cases of young women being attacked by Muslim men since 2011, but unreported cases could send the figure much higher.

The girls are often assaulted, raped, kidnapped, forced to change their faith and sometimes killed, the ICC said.Making matter worse, nothing is being done by local authorities to prevent it in provinces across Egypt, according to officials from both the ICC and the Clarion Project, a US-based non-profit think tank and advocacy group.

“Not only are they turning a blind eye, they are often compliant,” Issac Six, a spokesman for the ICC told FoxNews.com, citing one incident in which a father was assaulted by an officer for asking too many questions about efforts to have his abducted daughter returned.

“It’s pervasive; police at the local level are not stopping the abductions. There needs to be more pressure from the top,” he added. “We have seen cases before where we’ve seen victims returned when the police put pressure on the kidnappers. We know it’s possible, unfortunately, the police are often complacent.”

Six added that the problem is largely ignored by the international community and that the U.S. needs to be more vocal about the issue in its dialogue with the Egyptian government.

One reported incident occurred in the city of Luxor as recently as February when 15-year-old Amira Hafez Wahib attended a morning prayer service at a local church, according to the study from ICC. Amira had asked her mother if she could go to a store near the church to buy an item. Her mother let her go but urged her to hurry right back.

But Amira never returned and is still missing.

The next day, Amira’s family went to the local police to report she had vanished.

“We received promises from the police here that they would arrest the accused and return Amira to her family, but there is not any positive step from them till now,” Rafla Zekry Rafla, an attorney handling the case, was quoted as saying.

The girl’s family believes that they know who her kidnapper is-- a Muslim man, named Yasser Mahmoud, a soldier who was at one time assigned to protect their church. Mahmoud had tried to abduct Amira a few months earlier at a Christian store near the church where she worked.

The family immediately tracked down where the man lived with his family. Relatives told Amira’s parents that they had not heard or seen from Mahmoud since the same day that their daughter disappeared.

Another recent incident occurred on March 9 when a young girl was abducted in front of her school. The family went to the local police for help in locating her.

A few days later, the father was returning home when he was approached by two masked men on a motorcycle. He was stopped by the pair, who attempted to convince him to give up the search for his daughter.

He was told to “just forget her” and had his life threatened. The two men said they would also abduct his other daughters if he continued his search.

Things got worse for the family, whose identities have not been made public due to safety concerns, when the father went to the Civil Status Authority to get a copy of her birth certificate only to discover that her name had been changed and her religion had been changed to Islam.

The ICC report also suggests that more minor incidents are on the rise as well, such as young Christian women wearing crosses in public having them violently ripped off their necks.

Experts point out that the rise in the abuse against young Christian women is likely due to societal misogyny and Islamist indoctrination as well as the recent loss in government power by the Muslim Brotherhood.

“There’s a huge conflict between the Islamist and Christian populations in Egypt right now,” Ryan Mauro, a National Security Analyst with the Clarion Project, said to FoxNews.com. “The Coptic Christians are supporting General el-Sisi because of the military’s efforts to take the Muslim Brotherhood out of power.”

“The radical Islamists are angry. So they are retaliating,” he added.

The Brotherhood is not helping matters,” Mauro said. “They incite the people to carry out these aggressive acts, but when the people carry them out, they denounce it.”

“They know full well what they are doing.”

JERUSALEM — The prime minister of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on Tuesday praised a shooting that killed an Israeli and wounded his wife and son as they drove through the West Bank the previous evening en route to a Passover Seder.

Speaking in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh said the attack outside the city of Hebron “brought back life to the path of resistance” against Israel and warned of more attacks in the Palestinian territory.

Monday’s shooting came just before the start of the weeklong Jewish holiday of Passover as families gather after sundown for the Seder meal. No one claimed responsibility for the attack.

Hamas and Israel are bitter enemies and have engaged in several rounds of fighting since the militant group seized power in Gaza in 2007 after ousting forces loyal to the Palestinian Fatah party led by President Mahmoud Abbas in fierce street battles. The two Palestinian groups have not reconciled despite several attempts and Hamas now rules Gaza while Abbas governs part of the West Bank.

“We tell the enemy and anyone who thinks he is able to tame the West Bank ... the West Bank will be the future point of our struggle with the enemy,” Haniyeh said.

so what im struggling to see is how the jizya is protecting any non Muslim minority from Muslim aggression??

it does however seem to me that the only people who are posing a threat to the non Muslims are the Muslims themselves

so essentially the jizya is a protection tax extorted from non Muslims by Muslims in order to protect the non Muslims from the Muslims and yet even though the jizya is paid Muslims continue to massacre and rape those non Muslims under their protection

hands up those who want to live in an Islamic state
