OVERVIEW of DHIMMITUDE by Lyle B., Ph.D. September 23, 2008 [4x-Dhimmitude-PP-SlidesLB.PPT] 1 WHAT IS DHIMMITUDE (a)? Dhimmi -- subjugated "protected people." A formal agreement -- Muslims & dhimmis. People of the Book only; others convert or die. Dhimmi status: denial of equality. [Robert Spencer (all)] [4x-Dhimmitude-PP-SlidesLB.PPT] 2 WHAT IS DHIMMITUDE (b)? A humiliating form of semi-slavery. A heavy poll tax (Jizya) required. Always defer to a Muslim in public. Limited practice of religion allowed. [Robert Spencer (all)] [4x-Dhimmitude-PP-SlidesLB.PPT] 3 WHAT IS DHIMMITUDE (c)? Clothing – must be different than Muslims. No ringing of bells. No public display of wine or pork. No public display of crosses. [Robert Spencer (all)] [4x-Dhimmitude-PP-SlidesLB.PPT] 4 WHAT IS DHIMMITUDE (d)? No reciting Torah/Bible verses out loud. No public display of funerals. No public display of feast days. Building height < Muslim buildings. [Robert Spencer (all)] [4x-Dhimmitude-PP-SlidesLB.PPT] 5 WHAT IS DHIMMITUDE (e)? Cannot build new churches or synagogues. Cannot repair religious buildings. Must never lead a Muslim away from Islam. Must never demean Allah, Islam, or Muslims. [Robert Spencer (all)] [4x-Dhimmitude-PP-SlidesLB.PPT] 6 WHAT IS DHIMMITUDE? (f) Can’t complain -- may lead to violence. Dhimmis -- cowed into silence; no rights. Those who submitted did have “peace.” Dhimmi legal codes justify slavery. [4x-Dhimmitude-PP-SlidesLB.PPT] 7 WHAT IS DHIMMITUDE? (g) Many Jews in Mohammed’s time gave up and became dhimmi. [CSPI, p. 83] Those dhimmi Jews taxed at 50% rate. [CSPI, p. 83] Many Jews been dhimmi under Islam. [CSPI, p. 86] [4x-Dhimmitude-PP-SlidesLB.PPT] 8 WHAT IS DHIMMITUDE? (h) Modern-Day Israel: The first time Middle Eastern Jews been “free” of dhimmitude. But not free of Islam – rockets & suicide bombers… [CSPI, p. 86] [4x-Dhimmitude-PP-SlidesLB.PPT] 9 MODERN DHIMMITUDE IN USA (a) MC – Multiculturalism… PC – Political Correctness… Leads to limitations of free speech. Prohibits kafirs from telling truth. Helps promote creeping Sharia. [4x-Dhimmitude-PP-SlidesLB.PPT] 10 MODERN DHIMMITUDE IN USA (b) Prior to 9/11 MC & PC whitewash okay. After 9/11, we must be more careful. Overlooking political Islam is type of dhimmi. Creeping Sharia: a social problem, not military. [4x-Dhimmitude-PP-SlidesLB.PPT] 11 MODERN DHIMMITUDE IN USA (c) Truth designated as “hate speech” Hides the evils of jihad– current & past. Hides evils of dhimmitude. Such silence & distortion may be deadly. [4x-Dhimmitude-PP-SlidesLB.PPT] 12 MODERN DHIMMITUDE IN USA (d) Gloss-over plays into hands of jihadists. Many in Western world are blinded by MC & PC. This only serves the jihadist goals. [4x-Dhimmitude-PP-SlidesLB.PPT] 13 SELECTED QUOTES RE DHIMMITUDE (a) “… It is, however, strictly forbidden for a dhimmi to try to convert a Muslim to his religion, and if by any mischance he succeeds, the penalty for apostasy is death... [Bernard Lewis, p. 53] [4x-Dhimmitude-PP-SlidesLB.PPT] 14 SELECTED QUOTES RE DHIMMITUDE (b) “The policies of dhimmitude are clearly seen in Europe in the decades-long taboo of condemning the persecution of Christians and the violation of human rights in Muslim countries...” [Bat Ye’or, p. 331] [4x-Dhimmitude-PP-SlidesLB.PPT] 15 SELECTED QUOTES RE DHIMMITUDE (c.1) ‘This abstentionist policy by Europe, while claiming to defind human rights, obeys a fundamental law of dhimmitude: dhimmi minorities are forbidden on pain of death to appeal for help to outsiders, or to propagate ideas considered hostile to Islam. (continued) [4x-Dhimmitude-PP-SlidesLB.PPT] 16 SELECTED QUOTES RE DHIMMITUDE (c.2) Dhimmis who request help from Christian counties are deprived of all the rights and privileges they had obtained through the dhimma tribute agreement and “of the right of immunity of life and property.”’ [Bat Ye’or, p. 331] [4x-Dhimmitude-PP-SlidesLB.PPT] 17 BIBLIOGRAPHY (RS) Robert Spencer, Dhimmitude, http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/# (BY) Bat Ye’or.
