@wrule Yes, in 2014, ISIS implemented policies in areas under its control in Syria that forced religious minorities to choose between converting to Islam, paying a special tax (jizya), leaving, or facing death.
Here's more information about this practice:
ISIS's Interpretation of Islam: ISIS held a radical and widely contested interpretation of Islamic law. This interpretation justified their violent actions against those who did not adhere to their beliefs, including other Muslims.
Targeting of Religious Minorities: ISIS particularly targeted minority groups like Yazidis and Christians.
Options for Non-Muslims: Non-Muslims in ISIS-controlled territory faced a brutal choice: convert to ISIS's harsh form of Islam, accept their rules and pay a tax (jizya), or leave, facing severe consequences if they refused.
Consequences of Refusal: Those who refused to comply with ISIS's demands risked being killed.
***Forced Conversions: In addition to executions, ISIS also kidnapped and forced the conversion of people, including young boys who were then forced into military service.
Persecution and Violence: ***This "Islam or death" policy was part of a larger campaign of terror and violence against religious minorities, involving mass killings, enslavement, torture, and destruction of cultural and religious sites.
These acts were part of ISIS's broader goal of establishing a caliphate in the region and eliminating those who did not conform to their extremist ideology.
✅ The extremists are the true followers of their book.

@Unefilletrescurieuse This rings of Quran historical changes I had read about by radical islamist leaders to enhance hatred and punishment upon nonbelievers. It's right inline with the Islamic article I can no longer find. Probably because it was removed and whoever wrote it was killed.

@Unefilletrescurieuse I understand but what I am saying is the author explained how it was made far worse especially over petty things. I don't know what happened to the article but it's an eye opener to the likes of ISIS above and beyond the original teachings of Islam.
@Gibbon as we’ve discussed before, it was always terrible. If you don’t believe this, it’s ok.. that’s you. However please don’t expect me to think only a few have corrupted the Quron. I don’t see this this religion at all like you do. They plundered, looted and murdered from the beginning and it is what it is. I’m sorry if we disagree but we will have to agree to disagree… and yes, I read it well and do understand what you’re saying. I simply don’t believe it that way.

@Unefilletrescurieuse Lol. I feel like Cool Hand Luke staring down Ol Steel Eyes not saying What we have is failure to communicate but we are actually agreeing to agree. I'm just saying those few intentionally made it even worse than it was. I said nothing to defend it before them. It's always been born in hatred of nonbelievers and I never indicated otherwise. But when a soup taste awful to begin with and camel excrement is added to it those who eat it as if they like it get worse belly aches then the belly aches it previously caused. Both groups have belly aches. I am a visual thinker and such metaphors help me explain my thinking. My metaphor and your literal speak are actually in agreement.
