This should be good. How will the millions of Muslims who are now living in Germany respond to this proposal? The kuffar demanding jizya from the Muslims? How dare they? Takbir! No one gets to demand money for nothing except the Muslims — the payment of the jizya is a sign of submission specified in the Quran (9:29). It is almost certain that the Muslims in Germany will mount massive protests against this proposal, if the Germans dare to implement it.
“Germany mulls introducing ‘mosque tax’ for Muslims,” DW, December 26, 2018:
The idea, similar to Germany’s church tax, would aim to make mosques independent of foreign donors. Germany’s government and progressive Muslim leaders have supported the idea.
Story continues below advertisementLawmakers from Germany’s grand coalition government said on Wednesday that they were considering introducing a “mosque tax” for German Muslims, similar to the church taxes that German Christians pay.
Thorsten Frei, a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats (CDU) told Die Welt daily that a mosque tax was “an important step” that would allow “Islam in Germany to emancipate itself from foreign states.”
In Germany, church taxes are collected from practicing Catholics and Protestants in order to fund church activities. They are collected by the state and then transferred to religious authorities.
Mosque founder supports tax
In the absence of a similar tax, mosques in Germany are reliant upon donations, raising concerns about possible financing by foreign organizations and governments, which has sometimes prompted questions about the promotion of fundamentalist ideologies. For example, there has been growing concern about the influence of the Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (DITIB), an arm of the Turkish government based in Germany.
Officials estimates report that there are between 4.4 and 4.7 million Muslims living in Germany, but those figures include people whose families are Muslim by tradition and the number of practicing Muslims could be much lower.
A lawmaker from Germany’s other ruling party, the center-left Social Democrats (SPD), agreed that a mosque tax could help Islam in Germany become more independent. The SPD’s domestic policy chief Burkhard Lischka agreed that it was a topic “worthy of discussion.”…

This appears to put Islam on a legally-recognised status alongside Christianity. In that respect not a good idea. Islam needs to be recognised as inherently inciting of violence, and unwarranting of any support or protection from the state.

Repeal the church tax instead.

Germany tries to portray itself as credible while financing Muhammadist organisations, falsifying history & making sure Muhammadism has an untouchable, superior role in society through a tight grip on social media, education-institutions, media & army & through Muhammadist immigration.
Hitler viewed the unjust Muhammadism as ultimate Nazi religion that as he told his architect Alber Speer matches the German temperament better & many Nazi criminals openly converted to the unjust Muhammadism after the war & worked for the Egyptian Muhammadist regime under Nasser or in Syria.
Dr. Heinrich Willerman for example who tortured people in the Dachau extermination-camp during the war directed the terrorist “Camp Samarra” in Egypt after the war.

Agree. while Left/Libs welcome jihadis and run around like cowards after they start committing gang rapes, assaults.

I can no longer deal with these idiots. France and Germany Order EU States to Open Up Borders for Mass Migration. It’s this insatiable appetite for Socialistic dogma that we have the reason for this very story in the first place.

Why would Muslims be exempt? BTW, the church tax The German church tax is 8 to 9 percent of the annual income tax. Many people have formally quit the church to avoid paying, while remaining active in their faith.

LOL!
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Taxes is what drives government. Even the DERANGED ones. Nobody but NOBODY escapes their taxes.
They lose ALL fear of Mouslems when it comes to taxes. It’s like coming between Bull Clinton and Monica.

I am amazed at the favored treatment of the Muslims. Why should they be exempt from the church tax that all others have to pay? Could It Be that the German government does not regard Islam as a religion? Regardless, it’s a very good idea because most of the financial support come s from the Saudi’s who spread virulent jihadist Wahhabism wherever they can.

The Saudis will just foot the bill as usual’ they have vast sums set aside for the advancement of islam worldwide.
This is how they are colonising the west and the way to deal with them is not through taxation but to legislate that islam is a dangerous political ideology and not the religion of peace that they like to pretend it is.
PROSCRIBE ISLAM!

Since Islam is murder cult and not a religion it should simply be made illegal and tossed out the country. Otherwise other criminal cults like the Mafia should also be legalised and subject to that type of tax.

What about a moslem tax? You know, for breathing.
When they stop, they don’t pay it anymore. Seems more than fair to me.

Time to put a 90% tax on any money coming into the country that goes to support any of the muslem’s mosques or “leaders”.
