  1. 1. If given a choice between leaving, paying an additional tax that only applied to people like you or being killed, what would you pick?

    • I would leave.
      5
    • I would pay the tax.
      1
    • I would stay, fight and die.
      1
    • I would either stay or leave, depending on the tax rate.

Christians have fled Iraq’s northern city of Mosul en masse before a Saturday deadline issued by the al-Qaeda-inspired Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) for them to either convert to Islam, pay tax, leave or be killed.

Al Arabiya correspondent in Iraq Majid Hamid said the deadline set by the jihadist group was 12 p.m. Iraqi time (10 a.m. GMT). Hamid reported that many Christians fled the city on Friday. It is not clear if any remained after the deadline.

Patriarch Louis Sako told AFP on Friday: “Christian families are on their way to Dohuk and Arbil,” in the neighboring autonomous region of Kurdistan. “For the first time in the history of Iraq, Mosul is now empty of Christians,” he said.

Witnesses said messages telling Christians to leave the city by Saturday were blared through loudspeakers from the city’s mosques Friday.

A statement dated from last week and purportedly issued by ISIS that took over the city and large swathes of Iraq during a sweeping offensive last month warned Mosul’s Christians they should convert, pay a special tax, leave or face death.

...

The statement, which was seen by AFP, said “there will be nothing for them but the sword” if Christians reject those conditions.

They are feeling the 'Peace'. It won't end well for women, gays, Christians and Jews. Did I miss any other group that will be prosecuted by the oh so tolerant you-know-who.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

Probably easier to say anyone that isn't a male Muslim is in for big trouble.

Why would a christian need to pay a tax ? how much is it and how often do you need to pay. ?

The liberal elite ... know that the people simply cannot be trusted; that they are incapable of just and fair self-government; that left to their own devices, their society will be racist, sexist, homophobic, and inequitable -- and the liberal elite know how to fix things. They are going to help us live the good and just life, even if they have to lie to us and force us to do it. And they detest those who stand in their way."

This is probably all made up. Radicals are only a very very small percentage of Muslims world wide. I think they plant stories like this wherever there is a significant population of Muslims to try and make the 99% that are not radical look bad.

Why isn't convert an option on your poll? Not even revert? That would have appeased the overlords.
