I am a member of the Facebook Group Stop Islam. Another member there found a Bret Harte article at the Facebook Group Australophobia. Just to be clear I am an American and not Australian; nonetheless there is a growing controversy in the Land Down Under that could creep its way into the USA. That Controversy is centered on legally forcing food packing or distribution companies to pay a fee to a certified Muslim who then gives the “halal” stamp of approval that notifies Muslims that the food is certified A-OK to consume according to Sharia. IN ESSENCE this would force various Aussie companies to pay the jizya tax for Muslim certification in which the fees would trickle into some Muslim theopolitical agenda (whether that be Mosque building, Muslim charity [Can you say terrorist funding?] and so on).
Australia’s controversy today will probably be America’s controversy tomorrow. I mean Radical Muslims are preaching in the National Cathedral in Washington DC.
My first inkling was to cross post this directly from Stop Islam; however it became apparent to me that the Facebook postings were without Mr. Harte’s links he included in his original post. So thanks to the old Google search engine I found a version at an Aussie location called Morning Mail dated 11/13/14. I included the original links from there. Take note that the Stop Islam version also has some of the Morning Mail comments at the end of the post. Those comments are currently longer than the Stop Islam version. I am not providing the comment links from the original. Also note the English grammar of the Aussies is similar to the British hence there are some spelling deviations from the grammar rules found in America.

Jizya Opposition to halal is irrational, is it?

The craven halal-paying companies are striking back. Australians who oppose halal are prejudiced, ignorant, misinformed, extremists and inspired by hate, they say.
The Dairy Farmers Association talks of “irrational bullying campaigns” and urges members to go ahead and pay the halal levy.
So does South Australia’s Investment and Trade Minister, Martin Hamilton-Smith. He urged local exporters to “keep working” with the multi-million-dollar Middle Eastern market. “I encourage South Australian exporters to put enterprise and job opportunities ahead of the extreme views of a minority… prejudice has no place in Australia.”
And as for the cloth-head halal supporter, Darren Chester MP of the Nationals, he is more than a supporter of it, he is an apologist for it. In his own words, “The decision by a food company to meet halal requirements is a voluntary decision.” What? All these Australian companies suddenly voluntarily agreed to pay a religious tax? Chester is either pig-ignorant or is deliberately misinforming those who write to him.
So are Australians prejudiced, ignorant, misinformed, hate-inspired extremists?
Let’s start with the Jizya.
Muhammad very clearly established that people of other religions have to pay a tax – the jizya – to Muslims as a reminder of their inferior status.
It is specifically laid down in the Muslim Holy Book: “Fight those who believe not in Allah… until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” Qur’an (9:29)
This is not some out-of-date old notion from the 8th century. The jizya is commanded by Allah himself. It is an obligation on all Muslims. But it is an obligation which actually coins money for them and as such one which has been enthusiastically endorsed by them.
The extortion has been followed through the centuries and was a part of the brutal Ottoman rule over Christians, Jews and others. The Serbs of Europe often had to hand over their children to satisfy the collector of the jizya. The children were converted to Islam and trained in jihad as warriors (Janissaries [Link]). This was the Devşirme [Link and Link] system.
In India, well into the 17th century, Muslim jizya collectors would even take the wives and children of impoverished Hindus and sell them into slavery for the jizya requirement.
This is why Islamic purists such as Hamas and the Taliban wish to reinstate the jizya.
The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt have it as part of their current policy that Christians must pay a jizya and an Egyptian cleric on al-Hafaz TV said in 2013 that America that Muslims should demand more money as jizya from the Americans so that, in his words, “we can leave them alone.”
The notorious British Muslim preacher, Anjem Choudary, points out that “the normal situation is for [Muslims] to take money from the kuffar” (kuffars are non-muslims and is a term of contempt.) This cookie, by the way has been associated with around 20% of all convicted terrorism cases in the UK over the past 10 years, says he wants a passport to join ISIS, according to The Times.
The first thing ISIS does right now is impose jizya. The rounding up of women and selling them in the markets is one way how they collect the jizya. It is sanctioned by the ISIS Mullahs. Hamas has the same idea.
So the obligation is current, and it is no grand leap to see the halal levy as one way the jizya is paid. Under a masquerade of the thinnest kind a certifier decides that no pig fat was used anywhere in the production. They even certify water!
Muslims make no bones about it. Halal certification is a gold mine. They use this very phrase – a gold mine – in the Indonesian Jakarta Post. [Click on this link for a detailed look at Muslim enforcement of halal]
Now, it really does not matter how the money collected is disbursed – the very fact that it is collected at all is Australian’s acceptance of an inferior status to Muslims. This is why it is collected – to make Australians feel subdued At present, in Australia, it supposedly goes to charity.
Let’s assume it does.
What charity?
What are the objects of Muslim charity? Well, laid down as top of the list of charitable objects is building mosques. It is called Waqf.
Is that clear enough?
The money that Australian companies pays to Muslims as halal certification is used for the building of mosques.
And on the list of charitable objects is the support of jihad warriors.
Nowhere on the list is any non-Muslim objective, not one cent goes to the Royal Blind Society or the RSPCA or Vinnies [St. Vincent de Paul Society]. It is raised from Australian citizens to go to Muslim-only causes.
And in spite of all the poppycock talked about inspection by government authorities – there is none.
No Australian with an ounce of pride would pay the halal extortion.
But many Australian companies have no sense of national pride or honour; they are gutless appeasers of Islam following a buck. Literally they sell Australia’s soul for their profit.
And so too, do the ‘economic rationalists’ in Canberra.
* “During a roundtable discussion on U.S. and foreign aid to Egypt, an Islamic cleric, clearly of the Salafi bent—he had their trademark mustache-less-beard—insisted that the U.S. must be treated contemptuously, like a downtrodden dhimmi, or conquered infidel; that Egypt must make the U.S. conform to its own demands; and that, then, all the money the U.S. offers to Egypt in foreign aid can be taken as rightfully earned jizya.”

One thing I do know is that we are not the minority. If we were, what we say would be gospel, that is how this country works now.

Ordinary real Australians are being sold out to Islam by ignorant politicians and arrogant un-Australian companies all in the name of a buck. Even though the Islamics themselves say of the ‘Zakat’ (tax):
6. “Fi sabi `Lillah. Those who are fighting in the Cause of Allah, e.g., the Mujahideen.”
(Support terrorism?)
7. “Ibn as’Sabil. The wayfarer; Muslim travelers who need assistance while on a journey.”
(Pay fares of those going to join ISIS in Iraq?)
Those running these companies aren’t able to programme their one brain cell to recognise that aiding and abetting Islamic terrorise is treason and apparently the government doesn’t want to know about it either.
This national disgrace is about more than just building jihadist training centres (Mosques). It is about supporting Sharia with plans to introduce it into Australia as soon as they have the numbers here to pull it off.
In the words of an leading Mullah, “At a meeting of the Islamic Global Halal Congress held in Pakistan, the former Grand Mufti of Bosnia, Mustafa Ceric called upon all Muslims to, “Conquer the world through the Halal movement, as Halal means pure and hygienic and the non-Muslim world will have no choice but to accept it.” He went on to say, “The Halal certification movement has the strength to lead Muslims to rule the global economy, as food and other services are the basic need of every human being”.
Wake up Australia and boycott halal products. Go to www.halalchoices.com.au and become informed about the realities of this Islamic extortion racket that you are paying for.

About Morning Mail’s author Bret Harte:
Morning Mail does not want your real name or personal details as pen-names are the standard. Content character, not personal character. For a pen-name pick a quality, dead, non-Australian author. Jack London, Lord Byron, Bret Harte, Mary Shelley, Charlotte Bronte or let MM pick one. This provides a consistent look, and gives a spurious air of intellectualism to Morning Mail.
