so places like finland and switzerland etc. that have compulsory military service ought to levy a jizya style tax on muslims as they and their children are exempt from military service. they are afforded the protection and benefits but are not obligated to serve in the military
@danicapayton - negative, all residents in europe, USA etc pay taxes regardless of faith. today in muslim countries like KSA, UAE etc, you non muslims don't pay jack squat. i thought europe had done away with military service? it has been the destruction of many a european teenager falling into drug abuse and worse while "serving".
Traditionally the collection of the jizya occurred at a ceremony that was designed to emphasize the subordinate status of the non-Muslim, where the subject is often struck in a humiliating fashion. Some Islamic clerics encouraged tax collectors to spit into the mouths of Hindu dhimmis during the process.
@muslimwhacker - took one look at your channel and the sordid company you keep which was hardly surprising taking your username into consideration. you are talking out of your rear end with no substance whatsoever so you are blocked as life is too short to bother with hatemongers like yourself.
1. Jizya tax rates are actually higher than zakat rates. Zakat is 2.5 percent of wealth; jizya against non-Muslims under Muhammad was approximately 50 percent.
2. Non-Muslims are also subject to the kharaj tax on land--not just jizya--so comparisons of zakat to jizya alone is misleading.
3. The Koran exempts no non-Muslim from paying the jizya. However, the Koran does exempt certain Muslim groups from paying zakat, and offers a nisab (thresshold taxable amount) that reduces zakat owed.
Non-Muslims often complain about Jizya tax, but they do not understand that a Non-Muslim is not required to fight in the battle under Islamic country ruled by Islamic laws, but in (for example ) America, if a Muslim citizen denies to go to war, he/she can be punished. If Non-Muslims could notice the advantages of Jizya, they would not complain, i think.
@kingsaiful - Jazak Allahu Khair for watching, i first read that article when i was debating with someone who was really anti-islam when i first joined youtube and found it explained how fair the jizya was really well :) wassalamu alaikoum wa rahmutallahi wa barakatuhu
@TheSainterose - thanks for watching, Love :) yeah in USA pentacostal churches still do titheing (which is 10% of ones income to the church directly). Zakat which Muslims pay would be 2.5% of the value your money/jewellery etc that did not move during the year, so it is not much at all and the Jizya was a token amount even compared to Zakat. these were the only taxes in islamic lands... today in muslim lands, non-muslims live completely tax free.
@cmelbouzaidi Church tithing is voluntary, and Christians do not levy any religious tax against non-Christians under their jurisdiction. Muslims, however, levy a religious tax against people who don't even believe in that religion. What hypocrisy.
@ZakatWatch - your lies are as idiotic as your username... these days, non-muslims pay NO taxes whatsoever in muslim countries... maybe you are linguistically challenged and don't speak english very well but what part of when jizya was implemented that non muslims paid much less than the 2.5% that muslims pay in zakat did you not comprehend? so take your own ridiculous lies and hypocrisy elsewhere.
@cmelbouzaidi--you're wrong again. Jizya is currently being levied against the Sikhs in Pakistan, against Catholics in the Philippines, against Jews in Yemen, and against Christians in Iraq. This is normally done by jihadists, and the governments of those countries ignore it or tacitly endorse it.
@ZakatWatch - where did you get that info and what makes you wrongly think that is jizya tax??? now if you said saudi arabia or brunei for example, you would have some credibility but right now you are just waffling... if a street thug extorts money in pakistan or iraq, it is your mistake to label that as jizya.... that is just thuggery that happens in every poor and/or wartorn country, nothing islamic about it!
@cmelbouzaidi - You can read the U.S. State Department's 2009 Report on International Religious Freedom which documents the imposition of the jizya in Iraq, the Philippines, and Pakistan. For jizya in Yemen, I refer you to Adel Al-Sharjabi, a Professor of Sociology at Sana’a’ University, who has spoken out against jizya collections against Jews there.
@cmelbouzaidi - Go to the State Department's website at state.gov, scroll over "Policy Issues," select "Democracy & Human Rights," then click on "Religious Freedom" on the left. From there you can access the annual report. For Yemen, just Google the professor's name & it's one of the top links.
@ZakatWatch King Solomon taxed others also ( 1 Kings 5:1 ). He also had "forced labor" ( 1 Kings 4:6). According to the Bible > tithing is not voluntary - it is mandatory.
@elishebabb - Actually, 1 Kings 5:1 has nothing to do with taxes against infidels. It reads, "Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, when he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father; for Hiram always loved David." Guess you thought you could make up lies and that Muslims & liberals on YouTube would all believe you.
@ZakatWatch You are not using the original scriptures - the Hebrew Bible . It IS 1 Kings 5:1 in the Tanakh. You must be using a Christian Bible. In that case the same verse is actually 1 kings 4 : 21. You really should analyze further especially when speaking to a person who is old enough to be your mother...instead of causing others to do your studying for you.
@elishebabb - Mother, do you have a point other than playing games about which verse is which in which version of the Bible? Do you support the imposition of a tax by one religion against members of another religion?
this is why people are muslim so they dont get taxed

Very interesting! :-) Is it like church tax? Some countries still have that in Europe ... tithes. Germany, and Denmark and I think Austria.
We don't have tithes here anymore.
