Hmmm. Muslim rule. Seems a bit uh war-ish. Not free exactly. Non muslims had to pay some kind of tax. He is over simplyfying the history, and painting his particular concern, Islam, as much nicer than it was.
The tax he refers to is only 2.4 % and is called zakat, and is insisted upon by the Quran to take care of the poor, no matter if they are Jews or Christians or Muslims or atheists or other religions. If this same tax system were implemented in the world today, it would take care of all the poor people. The problem with the current tax system, which is much higher, is that very few of the benefits wind up in the hands of the needy.
mashallah really nice and informative lecture i love it may allah always safe muslims from bad things.may allah bring peace in this world bcz of the holy month of Ramadhan and he forgive us all gunnahs.
should we muslim go to fight by our brother side in iraq and afganstan why do we wait? while our brother are been killed all over the world while we turn a blind eye shouldn't fight by there side?
what did he say about non-muslims living in those islamic states? that is a dhimmi and that is how they lived. in fact in syria, I think the romans were going to attack it, so the muslims in that area told the non-muslims, here is your money back, we are not strong enough to defend you right now. they said, keep the money and we'll fight together. non-muslims pay the jizya, protection and they dont go to war for the muslims. muslims pay the zakat.
If they would only learn what their religion is really about. Unfortunately, Bilal can't learn for them.
