And it would be a non sequitor.A Muslim would also ask the same question regarding the OT laws…

I asked elwill the same question. Are Muslims made to “feel subdued” with humiliation and lowliness when they pay their zakat?No, it’s not inherently unjust… for instance,Zakat is taken from the male, female, old, young, insane, sane… while the Jizyah is taken *only *from the capable adult male…and it’s usually less than Zakat…

That’s not the way it reads in any of the major translations. I would be inclined to believe that it is a simple translation issue if the dhimmis didn’t have other restrictions placed on them as well.عن يد وهم صاغرون
With ability and under willingness and submission.
The first part says they pay Jyzia only if they can afford to do so…the second part says they have to submit to the state (that also includes Muslims , Jews, Hindus and everyone else living in the state)… it means you have to be a loyal citizen and not betray the state.
They were not permitted to build new churches, temples, or synagogues; they were allowed to renovate old churches and synagogues (those prior to the Islamic conquests) so long as there are no new additions. No churches or synagogues are accepted in the Arab Peninsula.
They were not allowed to sell or distribute sacred texts in public places.
They were not allowed to read their sacred texts out loud, even in their homes.
Crosses could not be displayed in houses or places of worship.
Religious activities could not be broadcast or discussed in published magazines or newspapers, nor were public religious gatherings allowed.
They also had to wear distinctive clothing and badges; Muslims were also forbidden from wearing the clothes of the dhimmis. catholic.com/thisrock/2008/0804fea1sb4.asp
Yusuf Ali translation.
(1) Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the jizya with **willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. **( سورة التوبة , At-Taubah, Chapter #9, Verse #29)
9:29 (Picktall) Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the religion of truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.
(1) Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they **pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection. **( سورة التوبة , At-Taubah, Chapter #9, Verse #29)
It could be due to the fact that the Koran is where all the violence comes from. When the abrogated surahs have been replaced by violent ones, or ones that just are out and out hateful and calling unbelievers names to denigrate them - what is the point? The majority of Muslims have the appearance of toleration and peacefulness only when their numbers in our lands are low. In their Muslim lands, or when their numbers grow, that toleration gets tossed out the window.i have interesting question also
why always people discuss the violence of islam reference to the action of muslims’s group instead of discussing the quran itself ?
why people always jumps to the conclusion that those groups are influenced by quran instead of seeking the truth within the quran itself ?
if quran is filled with hate and violence , why the majority of muslims are tolerant and peacefull?
You forget to mention that zakat is also to go to supporting those violent Jihadists! Oops, or maybe just some kithman, huh?عن يد وهم صاغرون
With ability and under willingness and submission.
for those who keep the second part but not the first one out of poverty… the Muslim state is obliged to give them Zakat (money, food, etc ) on a regular basis…
we are commanded to protect the following for the dhimmi:
1- Religion
2- Soul
3- Mind
4- Honor
5- Money
The prophet warned us :“if someone kills a dihimmi, the Heaven is **forbidden **for him” that is, he goes to Hell.
I remember once debating a Muslim man who attempted to say that the Janissaries was an example of Muslim societies giving Christians “a chance to advance” in society. Never mind that the Janissaries were Christians who were abducted from their parents at a young age, forced to convert to Islam, and forced to serve in the Turkish armies. Never mind also that there are recorded instances of children running away from their Turkish collectors, only to return when the Turks threatened to kill their parents - and never mind there are recorded instances of towns in the Balkans killing the collectors and rebelling against the Turks because of the practice of taking up Janissaries. This is all off-topic, but believe me that when you wonder to yourself why some think “being subjugated” is a good thing…I’ve heard worse.Why anyone would even think that being subjugated in this manner is a good and peaceful thing is beyond me.
