Someone reading the bill discovered the word and realized that it was an Islamic word used in Shari'ah law. They knew it was not an American word, nor a commonly used word, and started to research the meaning of it. I won't explain it other than to say that, if it had not been removed from the healthcare bill every Muslim in this country would have received special privileges like we have never heard of before.

After the word 'dhimmitude' was removed from the bill, Snopes said that the word was false and was not used in the bill which was accurate because it had been removed. It was originally used on page 107 before it was removed. You might be interested in reading this:

This is one ove the Urban Legands that is completely false. No where in the term dhimmitude used in the health care bill.

So the claim is that is was there and then it was not or taken out. First the bill was not written by Pres. Obama, it was written by legislators in the house and senate (not Obama) He did sign the bill into law.

I am not sure who Marion is. I have never heard of askmarion before. Why do they not cite sources for their information?the information?

You cite snopes as one of your sources yet snopes says they have found this rumor to be fasle.

Urban Legands.com has addressed this clain and has found it to be false. Factcheck.org research finds this claim false..

Even the American Consevative Daily (a coservative website) has found this to be absolutely false.

For your benifit I will copy post their address to the issue.


According to Wikipedia, “Dhimmitude is a neologism . . . denoting an attitude of concession, surrender and appeasement towards Islamic demands [which] literally means protected and refers to a non-Muslim subject of a sharia law state.”Â
What makes dhimmitude relevant is that there are reports that the word and the concept are incorporated in PPACA along with Obamacare exemptions and exceptions for Muslims on page 107 of the law.   (See below for that page in its entirety and see http://bit.ly/hRakSK and http://bit.ly/cBE7rd.)
In point of fact, it turns out that it’s a hoax, an urban legend perpetrated by some overly-zealous, overly-imaginative Obamacare opponent who, for reasons of his own–and possibly driven to the brink of madness by the true catastrophe that is PPACA–fabricated the whole scam. There are no specific religious exclusions nor is there mention of dhimmitude on page 107 or elsewhere. Â

Bug you have to be careful playing on the internet.
