Since the year 641, when Muslims invaded Egypt, the Copts—Egypt’s Christian, indigenous inhabitants—have been subject to persecution, discrimination, and over all subjugation on their homeland (etymologically, the word “Copt” simply means “Egyptian”). The result is an Egyptian culture and mentality that sees Copts as second-class citizens, or, in Islamic legal terminology,Dhimmis—“infidels” who are tolerated as long as they embrace their inferior status.
Whole books and treatises have been written on the treatment of Dhimmis (for instance, Ibn Qayyim’s authoritative 8th century Ahkam Ahl al-Dhimma, or “Rulings for Dhimmis”). The idea of subjugating non-Muslims, aptly coined “Dhimmitude,” comes from Quran 9:29: “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor forbid that which Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, nor follow the religion of Truth [Islam], from the People of the Book [Christians and Jews], until they pay the Jizya [tribute] with willing submission, and feel themselves utterly subdued.”

Note: Please keep abreast of the Islamo Fascists whatever the topic of this blog. You can check out all or any of these important web sites below: Front Page, Anti-CAIR, Jihad Watch and Act for America which are mainly current news and articles, while the Myths of Islam is just that. Tell the Children is a fantastic reference site full of historical documentation. The latter shows (among other things), the links between the Nazis and Islam; these connections carry through to the Jihadist movements of today.
