Non-Muslims Under Islamic Rule – Must Pay Jizya Tax; In The End Times, They Will Face The Choice Between Islam Or The Sword

Memri :  On December 26, 2024, the Islamic State (ISIS) released issue 475 of its weekly newsletter, Al-Naba'. The issue's feature article, titled: "Amongst Hanukkah and Christmas," discusses the alleged annual recurring debate among Muslims on the permissibility of congratulating Christians on their religious holidays, "which celebrate beliefs contradicting Islamic monotheism."

The article examines why similar debates do not arise regarding Jewish holidays, despite "shared theological concerns," criticizing the inconsistency in treating Jews and Christians differently, and suggesting that this reflects a lack of conviction in Islamic principles.

The text highlights the theological implications of such actions, viewing them as signs of weakened faith and attachment to Islam, arguing that true adherence to Islam requires equal treatment of all non-Muslim groups in accordance with Islamic beliefs.

Highlighting The "Inconsistency" In Interactions With Christians Versus Jews

Al-Naba's editorial opened: "At the end of every Gregorian year, the debate is renewed about the ruling on congratulating Christians on their official holidays, who claim that Jesus is Allah or that 'He is the Son of Allah.'"

Criticizing the "inconsistency" in attitudes toward congratulating Christians versus Jews on their religious holidays, the editorial examines why disputes regarding acknowledging Christmas are more common, in contrast to Jewish holidays. The piece asked: "We do not see the same debate arise about congratulating Jews on their holidays, despite the same justifications they use for Christians applying to Jews as well. The positions of both groups toward Muslims are intertwined and similar. Why, then, is the debate raised about one, and not the other?"

It further highlights the perceived double standard in interactions with Christians versus Jews, calling it a "theological inconsistency" that reflects selective leniency and bias:

"We have witnessed this methodological contradiction in their reactions to targeting Christians and Jews during their holidays. They celebrate an attack on a Jew during Purim or Hanukkah, yet criticize anyone who kills dozens of Christians during Christmas. They label the former a 'hero' and the latter an 'extremist.'"
