Egypt Christians Killed for Not Paying 'Jizya' Tax

Egypt Christians Killed for Not Paying 'Jizya' Tax - World - CBN News - Christian News 24-7 - CBN.com:

"Muslims in southern Egypt killed two Christian men for failing to pay them protection money. Muslims in the area are demanding Christians pay them "jizya," a kind of tax that Islamic law requires religious minorities to pay Muslims. However, the tax is so high many Christians simply can't afford it."
