[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] There are other people responding besides me, the OP. Frankly, if Jizya is less than the zakat for muslims, and it exempts nonMuslims from military service yet still entitles them to the same protection, I would think nonMuslims have it a bit easier. Nothing oppressive in that.[/quote] Jizya amount has never been fixed to a percentage. It has always been up to the rulers of a particular community. Thus, the claim that it is less that zakat (fixed at 2.5%) is nonsense. For those of you fixated on the amount, read the rest of the line "so that they consider themselves subdued." Jizya is the symbol of submission to the Islamic state. Not alliance, not friendship, not affection. Submission. I should also point out that rulers throughout history have differed on much humiliation they wanted to express toward their non-Muslim citizens. The Ottoman empire has traditionally been very tolerant of non-Muslims, for instance.[/quote]
