The general outline of Shari'a law and especially the law of the Dhimmi (protected minority) are outlined in this section. There will be more details especially in the Hadith as well over these subjects.

1. Islam –Shari’a Law, including Dhimmi
Dr. Robert Patton
Missionary to Suriname, South America

2. Basis of Dhimmi
 The individual is given 3 choices if they belonged
to certain religions
 Christianity
 Jewsh
 Zoroastrianism
 Here are the three choices:
 Convert to Islam
 Dhimmi status
 Death

3. Dhimmi status
 Started with a Jewish clan at Khaybar after
Muhammad had killed or chased away all the
Jews in Medina
 They argued that they were better farmers, and
would pay a portion of their crops for survival &
protection

4. Basic assumptions of Islam
 All persons are born Muslims; to become
a Muslim is to return to your original
created state
 Revisionist theory – Abraham, David, etc.
were Muslims
 Allah gave all the earth to Muslims and
wants all the earth controlled by Muslims
under Shari’a

5. Basic ideas re Islam
 Thus the task of all Muslims is to get the entire
earth back into Muslim hands, and to impose
Shari’a law on everyone
 Muslims are intrinsically superior to all other
groups, especially polytheists and Jews
 Muslim men are intrinsically superior to women

6. Basic ideas
 The world is divided into dar-al-Salam –
the world of peace under Muslim
control, and
 Dar-al-harb, the world of war, where all
Muslims are obliged to fight for Muslim
control

7. Basic ideas
 God gave Muhammad special rights to the spoil,
and all Muslims who follow him
 These rights include the rights to spoil, including
property, women and children of all non-Muslims

8. Basic ideas
 Non-Muslims are unlawfully occupying territory
which Allah wants under Muslim control.
 They are thus oppressing Muslims. This does
not require any specific action by the kafir

9. Basic ideas
 Allah has instituted jihad (Holy War) to obtain
what is rightfully Muslim.
 It is unthinkable that infidels should occupy
territory which was once Muslim.
 A mosque is a symbol that the territory really
belongs to Islam

10. Jihad
 Jihad includes occupying by force.
 Any males 12 or older who do not convert to
Islam are to be killed.
 The women may become concubines or slaves,
along with the children.

11. Jihad
 The property of Kafirs (unbelievers) belongs to
the Muslim umma, or community.
 All marriages are automatically eliminated by
the defeat or death of the husband.

12. jizya
 In certain circumstances, such as people of the
book, you may buy your right to live when defeated.
 You will then pay a jizya, or protection tax and live
as a second class citizen.

13. jizya
 This tax is usually about 3-4 times as high as
the usual tax for the Muslim.
 It is a compensation for keeping yourself alive,
along with your property.
 You are then a dhimmi

14. Dhimmi
 Dhimmi are protected people. They are pro-
tected from outside, but especially from inside.
 It is like the “protection racket” that some gangs
will use for businesses in their area.
 Dhimmi are not required to be in the army, and
cannot bear arms

15. Dhimmi rules
 No building of churches, convents, etc. nor
repair old ones
 Free lodging for any passing Muslim
 No hiding enemies of Muslims
 Dhimmi families are free to convert to Islam
if they wish
 Respect to Muslims. Rise from seat if they
wish to sit

16. Dhimmi
 Different clothing from Muslims. Sometimes it
must be distinctive; some must wear bells
around their necks, even when naked in baths
 No riding saddles or having swords or arms.
 No making alcohol
 Clipping the forelock of the head
 No crosses displayed, or Christian books on
market

17. Dhimmi
 No house higher than a Muslim
 No slaves who were allotted to Muslims
 Never strike a Muslim
 No testimony in court against a Muslim
 No criticism of Islam or Muhammad

18. Dhimmi
 Dhimmi is considered a group contract.
 If any single member breaks the contract, then the
entire community loses protection and may be killed,
women raped, property destroyed or seized, etc.

19. Dhimmi status
 Over years and centuries, dhimmi status can work
like that of the caste system in India,
 People may be convinced that they ARE inferior.
 Thus some oppressed actually defend Islam and their
status, and deny oppression (Stockholm syndrome)

20. Dhimmi status
 Also there is a great FEAR not only for the
individual, but that the individual may place an
entire community at risk.

21. What about US aid to Muslims?
 We can wonder if some Muslims look at the aid
packages from the US government as a sort of
jizya tax from the west.

22. Excellent resource
 Mark Dupre – The Third Choice
 This book goes into detail about dhimmi status

23. Shari’a
 Basis is on:
 Qur’an: 14%
 Sunna - perfect example of Muhammad - 86%
 Hadith – 6 are approved
 Sira
 60% has to do with unbelievers, and really is a
political system

24. Shari’a and women
 Women are weaker and unable to control
themselves.
 They must respect and obey their husbands
 They are intrinsically inferior to men

25. Shari’a and women
 Rebellious wives (may be in attitude only)
 admonish them,
 do not have sex with them,
 and finally – beat them, but do not break bones,
bruise or wound, or make blood flow

26. Shari’a and women
 Women cannot be judges
 Their testimony is ½ of a man; their inheritance
is ½ of a man
 In some ways equivalent to slaves and camels
 Women circumcision – not mandated in the
Qur’an, but often done – excision of clitoris
 Often damage done with problems of birth, and also
of urination

27. Shari’a and women
 Fornication – penalty death by stoning. If
pregnant, kill after the child is weaned
 No penalty exacted for you killing an adulterer
(but almost always a woman – a man may have
4 wives, and maybe he is having sex with a wife
you know nothing about
 Honor killings are not mandated but usually not
punished

28. Status of women
 In Qur’an – high status 6%, equal
23% low 71%
 In Hadith – high status 0.8%, equal
10%, low 89%

29. Man and wife relationship
 Women must have sex when he asks her if she
is at home, and she is physically able to do so
 Man may not have more than 4 wives
 Husband’s main interest in the wife is sex,
which he is to enjoy freely

30. Kafir
 More than just an unbeliever – a hateful word
 You can enslave, torture, mock or worse a kafir
 Kafir – anyone who does not believe that in
Muhammad & his Qur’an

31. Kafir
 60% of the Qur’an and 81% of the Sira talks
about Muhammed’s relationship with them
 32% of the hadiths are for kafirs

32. Kafir
 Allah hates Kafirs, so Muslims must do the same
 You can hate, terrorize, behead them; do not
befriend them – they are cursed, evil

33. Jihad
 War against kafirs to establish Sharia’s law
 Violence is sacred – peace only with submission
to Shari’a law
 Jihad is universal, eternal, and a COMMUNAL
obligation – all healthy men who have reached
puberty

34. Jihad
 If you kill or injure a Kafir, take whatever he has;
 Theft of a Kafir can be jihad (For example, the Barbary
Pirates)
 Muslim martyr – killed for Allah & Islam – guaranteed
heaven

35. Jihad effective in recruiting – see
results of Muhammad
 Preaching Islam alone – about 10 people per
year for 13 years
 Islam with Jihad – 10,000 people /year

36. Jihad effective in recruiting
 About 31% of trilogy is jihad
 Hadith – 21%
 Sira – 67%
 Medina Qur’an 24%
 Meccan Qur’an – 0%

37. Tears of Jihad – deaths caused by it
 Christians 60 million
 Hindus 80 million
 Buddhists 10 million
 Africans 120 million
 Total = 270 million

38. Submission
 No equality of Kafir and Muslim.
 Our institutions, schools, media must submit;
with resistance, use force

39. Dualism & submission
 Dualism – in many areas; they use the law of
abrogation.
 Both verses are true, but the latter is stronger.
 In practice, use the earlier Meccan verses when Islam
is weak; the stronger Medina verses when it is strong

40. Dualism
 Just as Muhammad behaved differently early as a
religious preacher and later as a political warrior, he
shows Islam how to behave in every phase
 Two sets of rules – for a Kafir or brother Muslim

41. Sacred lying
 An untruth is not always a lie; he can
use taqiyya, a sacred deception.
 “lies are sins except when told for the
welfare of a Muslim or saving him from
disaster”

42. Friends
 12 verses show no friendship with a Kafir
 You can enslave a Kafir, but not a Muslim. If a slave
converts, you can free him
 Allah hates all manifestations of Kafirs, including
their political systems, constitution, etc.
 Muslims hate what Allah hates.

43. Slavery
 Muhammad had slaves, had sex with slaves, gave
slaves away and received them, watched while others
beat slaves, used slaves for Jihad, had a child by a
slave, and disproved of a slave running away from his
master
 Islam has had and has slaves

 Poor needy Muslims; never to kafirs
 Those collecting the zakat
 New converts – make them stronger
 Ransom prisoners and slaves
 Jihad
 Travelers

47. Demands in other nations – here is
their methodology
 Method – on first arrival, announce that Islam
is a sister religion to Judaism & Christianity
 Have bridge-building sessions

48. Demands
 Then start demands – if they do not give in,
they are bigots, racists and Islamaphobes
 But remember – Allah hates Kafirs, their culture
and politics – so Muslims must too

49. Muhammed’s claim (Bukhari 1:7, 331
 Allah made me victorious by awe, frightening my
enemies for one month’s journey
 The earth has been made for me and my followers;
any of my followers can pray any place
 The spoils of war are lawful for me, but not anyone
before me

50. Muhammed’s claim (Bukhari 1:7, 331
 I have been given the right of intercession on
the Day of Resurrection
 Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation
only, but I have been sent to all mankind

51. Making it easy and necessity
 When circumstances are difficult and Sharia law is not
in force, the Muslim’s burden is lightened.
 If no halal food is available, they can eat regular food
 If they cannot pray at the regular time, they may pray
later

52. Ease and necessity
 While living among kafirs, a Muslim may do
business the kafir way – living in dar al harb

53. If we ban Shari’a law here
 We are restricting POLITICAL Islam, not
religious Islam
