@gs032009 Muslims on the other hand are obligated by their faith to pay a tax called "zakat". Taxes would be a misnomer because this is actually considered as a form of "institutionalised charity" paid to an institution called Bait al-Mal which literally means "the house of welfare". They are either paid in food or in gold, which is later channeled to the poor and needy. It's like medieval social benefits, if you like.
@gs032009 Non-muslims or "zimmi"'s were subject to a tax called "jizyah" which makes them subject to the governing authority. This allows them to live freely and practice their faith under the protection of the Sultan's military muscle but exemptions were made for people who can't afford them.. A modern equivalent would be a residency visa.
If you've got a horde of franco-german zealots coming to burn down the city, you'd want to make sure you've paid your jizya lol.
@drtreg Isn't what so? Which local culture are you referring to...there are so many to choose from? "Culture's" are in a constant state of flux, some may suffocate slowly, other's more quickly, but they are always changing...for better, for worse? Who knows. However, they will continue to stand, fall, change, adapt or incorporate depending on the thoughts and actions of the people practicing them.
Load of muslims and your doorstep and Pope Urbane makes the wrong decision - I think not from current observations. Perhaps old Terry`s dog is a muslim?
