[quote:MissCleo:MV80MDg0MTM2Xzc0MDI4MDM4X0Y2RDhEM0U2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 77404308:MV80MDg0MTM2Xzc0MDI3OTEwXzlEODcxMjhG] [quote:MissCleo:MV80MDg0MTM2Xzc0MDI3NzcxX0I2NDRBODk1] JIZYA jizya is a tax on the infidel who is in Islamic lands. Legal under their LAW. So technically, Iran can charge this tax by international standards. Sure it's Mafia tactics (Muslims steal all concepts from other cultures and twist it to deviant application). Look at this from Islamic point of view, this is not a declaration of WAR, it is enforcing local LAW. [/quote] No, its not Jizya, its only a plain toll for using the waterway, fair and square. Even Arab, Paki, Indian, and other Muslims have to pay it. Its not for any religion specifically. Since you are our partly Aryan brothers & sisters, we may give you a 10% discount. The Ayatollah [/quote] Same principle. Pay for protection. But now there is more than one Mafia boss other than Saudi. Iran is going for Mafia territory and their share of the extortion monies. Islam is not a religion, it's a government, non-secular. Their LAWS are not the same as Western LAW where it's a simple "toll". [/quote]

Iran is planning to charge foreign ships a toll in exchange for "protection" across the Strait of Hormuz, a key trade route and a flashpoint in the escalating dispute between the United States and the Islamic Republic.
A member of the Iranian Parliament's presidium said foreign commercial entities should compensate Iran as "the true provider of security in the region and international waters,". Amirhossein Qazizadeh Hashemi claimed ships enter Iranian waters on their way through the strait and should therefore pay a toll.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow, 21-mile waterway linking the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and greater Arabian Sea. About 18.5 million barrels of oil travel through the strait each day, accounting for 30% of the world's sea-traded oil. The waterway is considered crucial to global trade, but with a shipping lane only three miles long, it is also extremely vulnerable.
