What religion are these ... comments | read more      Islamic State: “Our expansion will be perpetual…Those who do not convert to Islam or pay the Islamic tax will be killed” Dec 22, 2014 01:33 pm | Robert Spencer “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29).
