Egyptian Cleric: U.S. aid to Egypt constitutes Jizya Tax

Egyptian Cleric: U.S. aid to Egypt constitutes Jizya Tax. “Jizya tax is the extra tax imposed on non-Muslims who live under Muslim rule according to the Qur’an and hadith.” How about we sequester this money, bozos?

  • Uhm... did I miss something? when exactly did the US become part of Muslim rule? Or is he jumping the gun and claiming that the global caliphate is already done? Confused...

  • Ron Paul was right that we need to cut foreign aide like this. Including military spending.

  • It is time to cut off the haters. Letting them beg some where else. der leader though is so busy destabilizing the whole region that he would rather bankrupt the USA before cutting off the funds for them.

  • I blame YouTube. Before YouTube you never heard a word out of these guys. Now everyone of them's on YouTube issuing fatwas every 5 minutes.

  • One of my leftist friends in San Diego posted a meme the other day on FB. Something anti-Christian, I forget exactly what it was. Something about separation of church and state. I commented, "Yes, and while we're separating church and state, how about we stop sending billions in cash and weapons to murderous Islamic theocracies in the Middle East?" He replied that I should stay on topic.

    How could anything be any more on topic than our Dear Leader choosing one religion over another, supporting one while attacking another?

    • Exactly. When was the last time this type of money and firepower were sent to the Vatican or... Other than the vatican cant think of a place where the president is also a religious leader OR the president has taken religious tenets as the laws of the land that is not muslim... Anyone? help me out... vatican and where else? In any case... when was the last time the US sent fighters and money to the vatican? It is definetly on topic.
