This is a perfect example of why islam is so dangerous. They have no idea how wrong and offensive this vidoe is. It is against everthing that free modern man stands for.

Well Chad the other option is to pay about 2.5% on all your assets, man, women, healthy or unhealthy, known as zakat, based on giving in the name of Allah. You would agree for those that do not believe in Allah would find this more offensive than Jizyah.

[hand15]

Well...you forget to cite Tafsir Qur'an by Ibn Khattir who said paying jizyah is the sign of disgrace and humiliation! Just look at the tafsir and you will see...

[Truthhasnowcome]

...until they pay the jizya tribute, the annual tax imposed them, readily ('an yadin is a circumstantial qualifier, meaning, 'compliantly', or 'by their own hands', not delegating it [to others to pay]), being subdued, [being made] submissive (obedient) and compliant to the authority of Islam. (Tafsir al-Jalalayn)

Ibn Kathir is a scholar, each scholar can have a different opinion. Muslims do not follow scholars they follow Islam.

You're welcome.

thank you for telling the truth!!!!!

If tolerance simply means discouraging the mass slaughter of those of a different faith, then today's Islam generally meets this standard more often than not. But, if tolerance means allowing people of other faiths the same religious liberties that Muslims enjoy, then Islam is fundamentally the most intolerant religion under the sun.

Sorry about the novel.

At best, the "religion of peace" has a dual personality toward other religions. In some places they are explicitly cursed by Allah, in others there appears to be a measure of tolerance shown. There are about 500 verses in the Quran that speak of Allahs hatred for non-Muslims and the punishment that he has prepared for their unbelief. There is also a tiny handful that say otherwise,but these are mostly earlier verses that many scholars consider to be abrogated by the later,more violent ones.

[StripesReaper]

For those who are not the People of the Book, such as Hindus and atheists, there is very little tolerance to be found once Islam establishes political superiority. The Quran tells Muslims to fight in the way of Allah until religion is only for Allah. The conquered populations face death if they do not establish regular prayer and charity in the Islamic tradition (ie. the pillars of Islam).

Tamerlane and other Muslims slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Hindus and Buddhists.

They do not share the same legal rights as Muslims, and must even pay a poll tax (the jizya). They are to be killed or have their children taken from them if they cannot satisfy the tax collectors requirements. For hundreds of years, the Christian population in occupied Europe had their sons taken away and forcibly converted into Muslim warriors (known as Jannisaries) by the Ottoman Turks.

[StripesReaper]

What Muslims call tolerance, others correctly identify as institutionalized discrimination. The consignment of Jews and Christians to dhimmis under Islamic rule means that they are not allowed the same religious rights and freedoms as Muslims. They cannot share their faith or build houses of worship without permission. Historically, dhimmis have often had to wear distinguishing clothing or cut their hair in a particular manner that indicates their position of inferiority and humiliation.

[ezsarah]

Islam expressly prohibited any persecution of the "people of the book". In Islamic society, a special place was reserved for Jews and Christians. They did not enjoy completely equal rights, but almost. They had to pay a special tax, but were exempted from military service - a trade-off that was quite welcomed by many Jews. It has been said that some Muslim rulers frowned upon any attempt to convert Jews to Islam even by gentle persuasion - because it entailed the loss of taxes.

[Lv2Grill]

Yeah, I agree!

Some people are just plain stupid. :)

"Peace."
