In Response to
"Word of the Day: Dhimmitude" e-mail
July 19, 2011
This e-mail has been debunked
previously with facts. Unfortunately, this is an effort by bigots to attack
Muslims, imply Obama is a Muslim and attack Obama and the health care law.
Simply saying you don't like the law because you don't want it would be too
honest.
"Dhimmitude"
is certainly a word but not part of the Muslim faith. It is a concept or
practice that started centuries ago to protect non-Muslims in a Muslim
controlled lands. Non-Muslims could practice their faith such as
Christianity so long as they paid a poll tax.
"Dhimmitude"
is not in the bill but an exemptions section is.
Some Christian groups
are or will be exempt and they are Anabaptists such as the Mennonites,
Amish or Hutterites. There are NO Muslim groups exempted.
Muslims believe in health
insurance and they pay it now for themselves and their employees. Some
Muslims object to life insurance however; as to the health insurance
law, criminal penalties were proposed for deliberately evading
health insurance but they did not make it into the law.
This e-mail has been debunked
contrary to its claim that it is true. If people actually researched the
claims, they would find them false but then sheep can't read or use the
Internet but unfortunately they vote Republican.

The e-mail:
Our president sticks it to us again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Read below this is amazing and also scary !
Check Snopes and Google, but don't stop there, take the time to visit
your Library.Dhimmitude -- What does it mean?
Obama used it in the health care bill.
Now isn't this interesting? It is used in the health care law.
Dhimmitude -- I had never heard the word until now. Type it into Google
and start reading. Pretty interesting. It's on page 107 of the
healthcare bill. I looked this up on Google and yep, it exists.. It is
a REAL word.
Word of the Day: Dhimmitude
Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling non-Muslim populations
conquered through jihad. Specifically, it is the TAXING of non-Muslims
in exchange for tolerating their presence AND as a coercive means of
converting conquered remnants to Islam.
ObamaCare allows the establishment of Dhimmitude and Sharia Muslim
diktat in the United States . Muslims are specifically exempted from
the government mandate to purchase insurance, and also from the penalty
tax for being uninsured. Islam considers insurance to be "gambling",
"risk-taking", and "usury" and is thus banned. Muslims are specifically
granted exemption based on this.
How convenient. So I, as a Christian, will have crippling IRS liens
placed against all of my assets, including real estate, cattle, and even
accounts receivables, and will face hard prison time because I refuse to
buy insurance or pay the penalty tax. Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan will
have no such penalty and will have 100% of his health needs paid for by
the de facto government insurance. Non-Muslims will be paying a tax to
subsidize Muslims. This is Dhimmitude.
I recommend sending this onto your contacts. American citizens need to
know about it --
