1. Non-believers are called Dhimmis in Muslim States. The Non-Muslims have to pay levy, tax or Jizya.
2. The Non-Muslims Young Man who are eligible to pay not serving in the Army. The Old, Woman, children exempted.
3. This is not paid as bribe for practicing their faith, but rather as compensation for not serving in the Army.
4. The Muslim Government responsible for their protection by all means from crusading armies, tribal or communal warfare.
5. The special tax required of non-Muslim dhimmis under Islamic law, was actually less than zakat 2.5 percent.
6. All eligible Muslims have to pay zakat 2.5 percent.
7. All Muslims and Dhimmis have to pay Zakat on Farming 10 percent if the production is more than the Nisab(fixed amount decided by the Economist) or the person is eligible.
8. The Zakat is must for Muslims also some western writer miss-informed. Our First Caliph Abu Baker Siddiq R.A. Said if any body is not giving Zakat take by anyway if its war. So-called journalists scream that the Jizya is a tool of inequality, they fail to see that there is a tax levied on Muslims as well, the Zakat, which non-Muslims are not required to pay.
Note: Jizya is paid not to join or serve in the army. Jizya was collected from the eligible young man who did not want to join army. If join the army then there is no jizya and he will get all arms to protect his country. You DT's how can I teach you.
