999 Compelled Jews to Wear Chain and Image of Calf/ Christians

Islamic Murder, Mayhem, and Mutilation

The Fatimid Caliph El Hakim Compelled Jews to Wear Chain and Image of Calf/ Christians to Wear a 5 Pound Cross

El Hakim ordered the Christians to wear a livery of black, and crosses of wood, five pounds in weight, eighteen inches wide, to use wooden saddles, to wear girdles; and retain no Muslim in their service. The Jews were first compelled to wear a chain with the picture of a calf attached, emblematical of the Druze religion, which he helped initiate, then bells so that their approach could be heard, and lastly collars of wood, weighing six pounds.
