Jesiya a tax on non-muslims
by mohamed on Apr 08, 2008 10:06 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

jaziya is a tax on non-muslims for their protection.There is a tax called Zakat. its more than Jesiya.Zakat is compulsory for muslims to give.And jesiya is a kind of tax for protecttion of non muslims..heard any riots during mughal rule.We are ready to pay for our protection.Can the govt protect us during riots..no...but we dont care to die just for simple reason that we are muslims.Its a social reality that there will be discord when some ppl rules.Atleast there is something like pretection of non-muslims during islamic rule..

Another fraudulent argument..Jaziya was an imposition to allow non muslims to live in muslim ruled states. The cost of jaziya was back breaking and thanks to governmental pressure, economic hardships, threats, swords and cajoling of the sufis, Hindus converted to Islam...Mohamed sahab is also a product of this metamorphism...

You are one good example who has no guts to speak the truth and distort facts for ur own satisfaction. The problem with ppl like u is u dont want islam to b shown in bad light even though thr r enough incidents that happen to suppress other ppl by muslims. And u r talkin abt mughal rule which destroyed many temples and converted and suppressed the rights of hindus in their own land.
