Yes sir,
as is the case with christianty.
i gave the reason previously, and you still haven’t validated it with anything you’ve said. your religion is just as splintered as islam is, if not more so. you may want to distance your sect from the protestant sect and all the other offshoots within christianity, but the protestants began by breaking off from the catholic church. your centralised leadership couldn’t stop that split, now could it?
citizens of any society–muslim or not–pay taxes to have certain services provided. heck, even non-citizens who reside in many western countries pay taxes too–unlike non-citizens of the islamic state. in an islamic state, non-muslim citizens pay taxes to provide them protection from all who try to attack or invade that islamic territory. the leader of the islamic state can also choose to use that money for other things to help better or to help maintain their territories–unlike zakaah, which the muslims pay, which is to be distributed to the poor and needy, as well as to the others listed in the verse that outlines who is allowed to receive the zakaah.
i already mentioned this before, and it is flat out extortion. so, how nice of the mohommedans to tax the christians who were living there before you guys showed up on the scene & invaded them… then set aside a special tax just for 'em because they won’t convert to islam & then call it a ‘protection tax’. it’s adding insult to injury, that’s all. it’s a nice way to also keep muslims…
seems like you’re well versed in the typical orientalist garbage… same old racist and prejudiced views on islam, the east and pretty much anything not christian or western.
eh, not sure why you say that… seeing as i normally go to an eastern catholic parish (not everything eastern is muslim you know… are you prejudice?) & one of my good friends is an indian muslim. seems you can’t take criticism. btw it can’t be ‘racist’ at all since islam isn’t a race. it also cannot be prejudiced since it is well documented with history. show me before where christianity has changed to the extent of needing a new prophet and then i, and most of the west will believe you. just more fairy tales taken from apocryphal christian literature, that’s all. also doesn’t make sense that i’m not well versed in anything eastern. just another ad hominem attack. btw, it still doesn’t matter because it’s part of sharia, and sharia supposedly doesn’t change. that is unless you are denying those countries are islamic because they do not charge jizya.

if a muslim murders another muslim, the family of the victims have the choice, diyah (bloodmoney) or the murderer’s life. if a muslim murders a non-muslim he is still punished and must pay the diyah. so don’t try to portray it as if he gets off scott-free.
In what couintry are they forced to pay excess taxes?
Christianity has splintered mnore than Islam has.
Does Catholicism allow lending money at interest. Did it always allow that? If not, did it change its moral precepts?
When I lived in Saudi Arabia Muslims were executed for killing Christians.
perhaps your post, which was peppered with typical orientalist jargon, had something to do with it?
.
i’ll have to look into this to verify, but i suspect they do this due to what was mentioned in one of the hadeeths quoted by disciple, “ust one who has been given a covenant be killed while his covenant holds”.
if you are still referring to jizya without referring to it, then show me where it isn’t part of sharia and i’ll believe you.
then please prove to me that christianity needed a new prophet, and i and most christians will believe you and accept islam. until you can prove from historical sources that christianity went astray, it won’t happen. you see, this is what muhammed did, he came along, claimed christianity was false and then started subjecting the non-muslim pagans around him. then after all the pagans were converted, they went to all the christian nations and converted them by the sword as well. you see why we are more than a bit skeptical? history just doesn’t tell the story muhammed tells. oh, and the fact that most of the assertions by muhammed had already been dealt with by christendom years before… such as the claim of arianism which is denying the divinity of Jesus.perhaps your post, which was peppered with typical orientalist jargon, had something to do with it?
