Thus, when ISIS assesses the jizya they are following the teachings of Muhammad as codified in the Quran. ISIS imposes the jizya because they believe it is the will of Allah, not because they were inspired by the acts of the Crusaders centuries ago.

Yes Muslims have done this before as have most other faiths in some sort or other. My point is this act is neither new nor only used by any one group in the past.
