I'm going to talk really fast, because I have a lot to say.
I wanted to start on the specific issue of the jizya. This might seem like a technical point, but I think it's really important. Sometimes people say that ISIS charges jizya to certain religious minorities. I think it's really important that we not say that, because jizya has a specific, historic, theological meaning within Islam. The jizya implies that the practice of religion is allowed for those religious minorities and that protection is provided in exchange for a fixed taxation. That is not what Daesh does. Daesh uses the historic claim of jizya to undertake extortion against religious minorities, but that extortion is not a fixed tax. It is ongoing extortion, and it does not include protection for the practice of religion. This is really just a way of getting resources as a prelude to subsequent extermination, so to me, it's important that we not unintentionally give Daesh a propaganda benefit.
I'm curious about your comments on that issue, if you have thoughts on it.
