That “protection money” is called for in the Qur’an: “Fight against those do not believe in Allah or the last day, and do not forbid what Allah and his messenger have forbidden, and do not follow the religion of truth, even if they are among the people of the book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29)
Non-Muslims who submit and pay the jizya get the “protection” (dhimma) of the Muslims, and become “dhimmis” (protected people). This is akin to the Mafia’s idea of “protection”: the ones collecting the money for your “protection” are the ones who will harm you if you don’t pay.
“4 terrorists killed in Cotabato encounter,” by John Unson, The Philippine Star, September 20, 2026:
COTABATO CITY, Philippines — Four suspected terrorists were killed in an encounter in Tugunan, Cotabato yesterday morning, according to the military.
The fatalities were reportedly connected to a local terror group, Dawlah Islamiya.
Reports said the fatalities and their companions opened fire at policemen and soldiers who were responding to a complaint regarding the presence of armed men in Barangay Manaulanan.
The lawmen retaliated, triggering a firefight that resulted in the death of the four suspects….
Village officials said the slain suspects had been regularly collecting “protection money” and rice from the residents….

The philipines is a strong Christian country. The Muslims population grew in one state and they want to be independent and fought the Christians. They’re given autonomy to collect jizya, and slowly drive our Christian’s and come across into next states free to buy property because there is freedom.
It spreads out. All those families had six kids a couple decades an ago. Now all those kids need farms need homes, they simply move over where there’s freedom and Christians and buy up. Once they become majority, they will demand jizya and annexation to the Islamic system next door. A Islamic state exists in the Philippines. 🇵🇭
The Christians will be surrendering more territory for peace soon, or else 😠.
Also note Muslim men are permitted to marry Christian Philippine women as well , and there is pressure to look for a wife elsewhere as some men marry most of the girls early on the Islamic state. That’s more pressure to encroach on Christian territory and create more demands.
David Grisez says
The quote from the Quran that declares that Islam is the religion of truth is a big lie. How can an ideology that has a 1400 years record of misery, death, destruction, oppression and terrorism be the religion of truth? This is an obviously evil and wicked ideology.
