You mean jizyah? Yeah thatâs literally just taxes and itâs less than you have to pay right now as a citizen of your own country. Plus as long as you pay it they protect your property and life like itâs their own. Thatâs also only applicable under a Muslim country who actually applies sharia which is like, one to none
âBend to the knee to become Muslimâ but the Quran says 2:256 âThere shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrongâŚâ. I donât like fear mongering. Sharia isnât all about peace but itâs not all about chaos either. Itâs like any other legal system and Muslims arenât even allowed to insult other religions, much less hurt people because of it. What happens if you donât pay taxes in the U.S.? Do you go to jail? I fail to see a difference
Shariah law is literally Qurâan and Sunnah (hadith), so if the Qurâan says âdonât force people to convertâ and someone forces someone to convert or literally beheads them, then that cannot possibly be in the shariah. Thereâs religious extremists in all religions but I think we can agree that that doesnât change the basis of the scripture or the law it goes by. Itâs a part of the shariah that Christians and Jews HAVE to be allowed to live safely with the Muslims if they pay taxes. W/o converting.
Do you have a specific example of a Muslim in Europe trying to force someone to convert and saying thatâs a part of the shariah? I believe you if you say someone tried to force their beliefs down others throats because unfortunately thereâs people in every belief that does that, but I want an example where it specifically applies to something that came from our religious text that tells us to do that, because Islam explicitly states âno forced conversionâ
Thereâs many examples online video where there are death threats given to those who donât follow shariah law because to them once they invade and become the majority they want to make it like home. They do this in Canada and the states too. For example a liquor store owner in Houston was threatened byMuslims to shut down his store because alcohol is haram
Yes unfortunately there are people of all beliefs who donât actually understand their religion and try to apply it on others, but thatâs not shariah law. If it were a Muslim country, then yes, we could easily say âno alcoholâ. But if itâs not our country then we canât force anyone to shut down their businesses. Thatâs not a part of the shariah and I fail to see any reference from our texts that say otherwise. If shariah were applied there would be systems in place by scholars, not randoms.
Are they Pakistani by chance? Honor killings are a cultural thing and donât deserve connections to the religion at all. The Quran condemned the practice of pagan Arabs where they used to bury babies alive if they were girls, and the Sunnah said paradise lies at the feet of mothers, and that "There is no man whose two daughters reach the age of puberty and he treats them kindly for the time they are together, but they will gain him admittance to Paradise." Islam does not allow senseless killing.
Iâm only seeing you give references by peopleâs actions and not the actual religion. Would you like me to do the same? This is a worn out argument. If you donât actually know what shariah is then thatâs okay, but you donât have to dedicate your life to dismantling it when you donât fully understand it and fall for propaganda off of X
Yes I do actually, because I already know the verses youâre referencing and Iâd love to show you the tafsir (scholarly explanation) along with it. I can show you lectures and fatawa on them as well if youâre actually open to understanding the religion and arenât just looking for a reason to think weâre all bloodthirsty.
And lol? Of course anyone who isnât a Muslim is an infidel Islamically. Anyone who isnât a Christian is considered an infidel according to them as well, correct? So whatâs the big difference? The definition of kaffir, the Islamic term for an infidel is âthe one who conceals the truthâ. Thatâs it.
Sure thing, Iâm going to give you the tafsir by Ibn Kathir because thatâs my go-to scholar and youâre welcome to ask for my sources. He says this was revealed after the Quraysh (a polytheistic arab tribe) violated a treaty of war with the Muslims during the holy months. Ibn Kathir explicitly states this applied ONLY to the polytheists of the Quraysh at that time, since theyâre the ones who broke the treaty, and does NOT include all Muslims. All Muslims advocate for shariah law by definition btw
Allow me to correct myself since I am sincere, Ibn Kathir states this verse was revealed specifically after the Quraysh violated the treaty of war between them and the Muslims, and thatâs why it was revealed. But he actually did not state that this ONLY applied to the polytheists of that time. That is likely because only Abrahamic religions are allowed in Muslim land (Christians and Jews), but other religions are not because they canât pay the tax, so they would not be allowed to enter
Sure thing! All Muslims believe in shariah law considering itâs the law of the Quran and Sunnah. Not really a new concept. Just looks scary now because of political fear mongering. Itâs literally less taxes than youâd have to pay as a citizen of your own country, but youâre welcome to have a problem with whatever youâd like. Your choice.
