Muslim Brotherhood to Egyptian Coptic Christians: Convert to Islam or pay jizya tax

Koran 9:29

So how is that Arab Spring working in Egypt:

The Muslim Brotherhood and its supporters have began forcing the roughly 15,000 Christian Copts of Dalga village in Egypt to pay a jizya tax as indicated in Koran 9:29, author and translator Raymond Ibrahim reported on Sunday.
Jizya is the money, or tribute, “that conquered non-Muslims historically had to pay to their Islamic overlords ‘with willing submission and while feeling themselves subdued’ to safeguard their existence,” Mr. Ibrahim explained.
According to Fr. Yunis Shawqi, who spoke yesterday to Dostor reporters in Dalga, all Copts in the village, “without exception,” are being forced to pay the tax.
“[The] value of the tribute and method of payment differ from one place to another in the village, so that, some are being expected to pay 200 Egyptian pounds per day, others 500 Egyptian pounds per day,” Mr. Shawqi said, according to the translator.

That tax is about $30 to $60 a day.  That would annoy the hell out of a person with a western income (and be intolerable), but that rate would be absolutely crippling to the average Egyptian is making way less than $600 a month (especially in rural Upper "Southern" Egypt).
