Islamic State: 11 'Dhimma' rules that Christians must obey to stay alive

Istanbul: After massacring hundreds and thousands of Christians, the Islamic State rulers have now decided to allow them the right to live, provided they sign 'Dhimma' contract, follow its 11 strict rules, and pay Jizyah tax.

Dhimma of Dhimmi s a historical term referring to non-Muslim citizens of an Islamic state. The word literally means "protected person". A person has to sign a Dhimma contract and pay Jizyah (levied by a Muslim State from its non-Muslim residents) to become eligible to be protected under Islamic Law.

As per a report by the Middle East Media Research Institute, dozens of Christians from Al-Qaryaten city signed a Dhimma contract to safeguard their lives and interests.

11 rules for Dhimmis:

1. Christians may not build churches, monasteries, or hermitages in the city or in the surrounding areas.

2. They may not show the cross or any of their books in the Muslims' streets or markets, and may not use amplifiers when worshiping or during prayer.

3. They may not make Muslims hear the reciting of their books or the sounds of church bells, which must be rung only inside their churches.

4. They may not carry out any act of aggression against ISIS, such as giving refuge to spies and wanted men. If they come to know of any plot against Muslims, they must report it.

5. They must not perform religious rituals in public.

6. They must respect Muslims and not criticize their religion.

7. Wealthy Christians must pay an annual jizya of four gold dinars; middle-class Christians must pay two gold dinars, and the poor must pay one. Christians must disclose their income, and may split the jizya into two payments.

8. They may not own guns.

9. They may not engage in commercial activity involving pigs or alcohol with Muslims or in Muslim markets, and may not drink alcohol in public.

10. They may maintain their own cemeteries.

11. They must abide by ISIS dress code and commerce guidelines.

And if you didn't know from the last 1500 articles, ISIS are not nice people.

Sounds like Saudi.

That's less than Uncle Sam charges in tax

I'm shocked they let them drink at all to be honest.

They will be in your neighborhood in a few years . Perhaps you could brush up on what to expect.

Surprisingly these demands are not that bad.

Will christians sue them for plagiarism?

DAYTON, Tenn. - Bryan College was founded on the back of the country's most famous debate over creation and evolution.

And the biblical literalists, the stalwarts, the six-day creationists flocked here even when society began tipping toward a more scientific understanding of human origins, when Darwin, not Genesis, became the more convincing explanation for many.

But over the years, more diverse views on Genesis 1 and 2 crept in. Some professors, staff and students didn't just identify as young-Earth creationists. Their views became more nuanced. They called themselves progressive evolutionists and theistic evolutionists and old-Earth creationists; they found ways to reconcile faith and science.

Now the administration is making a statement against these aberrations. The board of trustees is requiring professors and staff to sign a statement saying that they believe Adam and Eve were created in an instant by God and that humans shared no ancestry with other life forms. If they don't sign, they fear that jobs could be on the line.

You might think everyone at Bryan College disavowed Darwin years ago. After all, the liberal arts school is named in honor of William Jennings Bryan, the man who helped prosecute the 1925 Scopes Trial. The college was founded in 1930, and Bryan's legacy is one of the first things that comes up on campus tours.

Seriously, you worry about that far more than I do.

Way too funny! #8 is the deal breaker for all right thinking Christian folk I am sure.

You know what is really hypocritical? There are thousands of refugees in Europe. The Vatican, one of the largest corporations int he world, can only be bothered to take in two families. There are individuals in Norway and Iceland that took more refugees into their homes than the christian church...

It's appalling that christians are under such heavy artillery and the Vatican does nothing.

Those silly Christians are at it again?

Break out the Jergens!

Feel the 'peace' yet?

The Catholic Church is only worried about one thing. Making sure that each of the 2-5 collection baskets they pass around at each mass are being filled on a regular basis is their top concern. The rest (pedophile priests, starving refugees, homeless, etc) are a distant second.
