The black writing says
“Property of the Islamic State” but the red spray paint is a specific mark. No
it is not a smiley face but the Arabic letter “N” for Nusrani (Nazarene/Christian).
Nazarene was actually the term Roman pagans, especially the Roman tyrant Julian
the Apostate, used when referring to the ancient Christians. Now the Muslim
pagans are using it today when killing and tyrannizing the Christians.
While the Muslims mark
themselves on their foreheads and right arms with the banners of Allah, the
Christians are beginning to be forced to have the mark of “Christian”.
And while such
persecution is a curse, such suffering is a blessing since “Christian” is the
mark of God.
Markings are important
and stem from ancient history. During the 4th century pagan king Julian, who
was so vindictive toward the Christians that he wrote a book entitled, Against
the Christians, in which he chided them for rejecting the idolatrous shield,
for drawing the Cross (the mark of God) on their foreheads, and for worshiping
Jesus.
The Bible is clear
that the true Christians eventually will have the mark of God on their
foreheads. (Rev. 14:1, Rev. 22:4, Rev. 9:4).
But what we discovered
in Iraq is reminiscent to an impending holocaust and is what happened to the
Jews in Germany before they were set for extinction:
I have written about
this coming epidemic in my first writings “Israel and the World’s Mock
Trial” nearly two decades ago in which I explained the reason of these markings
on Christian homes in Iraq is that in Islam Christians and Jews must wear
identifiable clothing and live in a clearly marked house and must not build
their houses in the neighborhood of Muslims. (See Sunan Abu Daud, Book 38,
#4390).
The situation has
become a prelude to what happened in Nazi Germany and today who in the West is
talking about the marking of Christian homes in Iraq? No one. Recently, some 20
Christian leaders reportedly agreed to the conditions made by the Islamists,
including payment of a twice-yearly protection tax, ranging from about $125 to
$500, depending on personal income levels.
Nina Shea, director of
the Hudson Institute’s Center for Religious Freedom in Washington, expanded on
the restrictions in the National Review. “They are forbidden from reading
scripture indoors loud enough for Muslims outside to hear, and the practice of
their faith must be confined within the walls of their remaining churches, not
exercised publicly (at, for example, funeral or wedding processions),” wrote
Ms. Shea, who characterized the requirements as returning to rules attributed
to the seventh-century caliphate.
Shea was speaking of
the Omar Charter. Throughout the centuries the Jews suffered by the founders of
the Islam faith to this day. The infamous Omar Charter declared:
The necks of Dhimmis
(Jew and Christians with no rights in the land) are to be sealed when
collecting the Jezzieh (tax imposed on Jews and Christians). The method of
sealing is to bind the necks of the person with a collar, in it is a piece of
lead, stamped on it the amount of his payment, the collar is not to be broken
until the payment is completed. This is in accordance to the Quranic verse
‘Until they pay the Jezzieh by an upper hand, may they be subjugated
(humiliated)’…And if the person was a Jew, he must wear on his shoulder a red
or yellow banner, so he is recognized as a Jew. And if the person is a
Christian, he needs to wear harsh clothes, with a large pocket in the chest
area like women. As for Christian women, they must wear shoes with different
colors, one black and the other white. And if a Jew or a Christian goes into a
public bath, he must wear an iron, copper, or lead made collar around his neck
so he can be identified from Muslims. Never a Jew or a Christian can build
houses higher than a Muslim. They are not to crowd public roads but need to use
narrow alleyways, and small streets. They are not to be saluted, nor their
graves can be extended beyond the surface of the ground.
While the US is paying
lip service. The ultimatum given to Christians in Syria and Iraq is but the
most recent casualty of the West’s inaction.
It is amazing that
during today’s demonstrations, Islamists and the liberal left wave the
slogan
Zionism = Nazism, yet
a comparison between Nazi law toward Jews, and Dhimmi Law (Jews and other
citizens with no rights) in the Omar Charter will reveal a true commonality:
Nazism: Jews need to
wear a mark on their clothing to identify them as Jews. The Star of David for
identification with the word (Jude) (must be) on the chest. A yellow banner is
to be fixed around the shoulder or arm, as to be recognized as a Jew. They must
live in the Jewish Ghettos.
Islam: Dhimmis (Jews
& Christians) must wear identifiable clothing and live in a clearly marked
house. For Jews, a yellow banner is to be fixed around the shoulder or arm, as
to be recognized as a Jew. [1]
Nazism: Jews are not
permitted to serve in the army or navy. They are not allowed to bear arms.
Islam: He must not
ride a horse or bear arms. He must yield the right-of-way to Muslims.
Nazism: Jews cannot
hold public offices, whether national, state, or municipal, salaried or
honorary, (they) are closed to Jews. Jews cannot be Judges in criminal and
disciplinary cases. Jews cannot serve on juries. (Lucy Dawidowicz, The War
Against The Jews, Anti-Jewish Legislation, p. 72.)
Islam: Dhimmis (Jews
& Christians) cannot be a witness in a legal court except in matters
relating to other “Dhimmis” (Jews & Christians) or be a judge in a Muslim
court.
Nazism: As
compensation for the protection that Jews enjoy as aliens, they must pay double
the taxes the Germans pay. (Ibid., p. 75.)
Islam: As compensation
for the protection that Dhimmis (Jews & Christians) enjoy, they must pay
“Jizzieh,” a special tax to be imposed on Dhimmis (Jews & Christians)
only.
Nazism: Marriage to
Jews is prohibited. Adoption of Jews and by Jews is prohibited. (Ibid., p. 84.)
Islam: A Jew cannot be
the guardian of a Muslim child, or the owner of a Muslim slave.
Nazism: Jews must live
in Ghettos.
Islam: They may not
build their houses in the neighborhood of Muslims.
But perhaps it is time
for the Christian Arabs to recognize that there is something in common between
them and the Jewish people. That such persecution that was targeting the Jews
has come to the Christians. It is as they say in the Middle East, Saturday
people first and Sunday people next. It is perhaps time for Christians in the
Middle East to stop listening to the decades of anti-Israel propaganda: the two
sects of the Bible are equally targeted regardless if one of the two refuses to
agree with the other.
