Understanding Islam XIII: Dhimmitude, Control Through Fear

Dhimmitude is a concept unique to Islam but similar to the caste system in India. It is governed by submission through fear and dominance. It is a form of semi-slavery so that is why I place it here after the posts on slavery and submission. A Dhimmi is a Kafir (infidel) that is allowed to live under Islamic Sharia. Anyone that fashions their behavior around Islam to appease it is also dhimmi. Today we see our politicians, journalists and intellectuals play the role of dhimmis. A dhimmi is what amounts to a semi-slave. First enslaved mentally to sharia, then physically. They are firstly taxed into submission. A dhimmi was not really a free person under sharia. In another sense a church couldn’t ring its bells because bells are a sign of Satan, according to Muhammad. Sharia Law for Dhimmi are appalling because they established a second-class citizenship. The dhimmi did not have civil rights regardless of skin color. A dhimmi couldn’t prosecute a crime against a Muslim.

In a recent 20th century incident in Turkey...

When Smyrna, the last of the seven churches of Asia was destroyed in 1922, it was not done with the military. Rioting Muslims did it (Smyrna Massacre of 1922). Riots are also a form of jihad. It was known as the Armenian/Pontic genocide and was the systematic ethnic cleansing of the Christian Ottoman Greek population from its historic homeland in Anatolia. Estimates are that up top 1,000,000 were murdered by the Ottoman Empire, Turkish National Movement…what were considered “moderate Muslims."

Dhimmitude, which is the mind of the dhimmi, destroys the civilization because the only way out is by giving up all of your old culture and taking on Islamic philosophies. Here is the abbreviated version: Islam seeks to annihilate all other cultures by dhimmi laws that come out of the Sharia law. The lack of civil rights, abuse, humiliation and oppressive tax burden wears away the spirit to resist becoming Islamic. Dhimmi get new names and names of cities change and then the cultural history vanishes. Once a nation has been fully Islamisized, all of its history disappears. The culture of the Greeks in Anatolia was destroyed by 1922-23. In Pakistan, a Muslim country, the native culture was Hindu. Afghanistan was a Buddhist culture that has since been completely annihilated and replaced by the Taliban and others.
