[b]Fiqh, in its specific meaning and what is discussed in books of fiqh, includes everything that has to do with all aspects of man's life. Everything that is studied today including foundational laws, city management, family relations, individual actions, management, politics, etc is found in the different sections of fiqh.[/b]

...

During the prophet Muhammad saw's last sermon, he said :" I leave behind me two things, the Qur'an and my example, the Sunnah and if you follow these you will never go astray".  [b]It is the Muslim's belief that Islam has provided guidance in every sphere of life, from individual cleanliness, rules of trade, to the [u]structure and politics of the society[/u]. They don't separate it from from social, political, or economic life, since religion provides moral guidance for every action that a person takes...[/b].[/quote]

First of all, you didn't really respond to the pp's point, Muslima.  Second, your response is a lot scarier than anything the pp asked you about. [b] Do you not see how a religion that has specific guidelines on every aspect of life would just never be appealing to some people? [/b] [b]And if I were to live in a democratic society with a Muslim majority, why WOULDN'T they vote into law these "rules" of their religion, since the religion does have guidelines on every aspect of life? [/b] This is something that right wing nuts are yelling about all the time, and you seem to be saying that their concerns are actually justified!!  And, as we all know, a political system based on religion is just never going to work, no matter how awesome that religion is.  We have seen it tried so so many times.[/quote]

It doesn't have to appeal to you. It appeals to the people who follow said religion and that is why they choose that religion for themselves.  But let me clear something else, as far as Non-Muslims living under Islamic law, I guess what you don't know is that under Islamic Law, other faith communities have be governed by their own Law. There is freedom of religion under Islamic law you know, people are free to practise their faith, including religious law. Additionally, all Islamic obligations  that do apply to Muslims are not applied to them.

Now, it is the belief of Muslims that Islam is the perfect way of life, I guess that's why anyone would choose a religion. Does it mean that we want to apply shariah law all over the world? Heck no, I don't believe shariah law can be applied or should be applied everywhere, and that is the difference between a regular muslim and those right wingers you're talking about ....[/quote]

You just don't get it.  You call Islam "perfect" and then you make it sound like a disaster.

Different laws for different people?  NOT PERFECT!

Further, do you believe that Shariah law should be applied anywhere?  And where would that be?[/quote]

I believe it is perfect, that's why I choose to be a Muslim.Yes different laws for different people is totally Perfect in my book when we are talking about Shariah Law, why would a Chrisitan want to be ruled under a law they dont believe it? Muslims and Non-Muslims are equal in front of the law when it concerns general matters, but when it comes to religious matters that would follow Islamic law, the non-muslims would be judged by their own law, not the islamic one! Shariah Law can be applied anywhere people choose it for themselves.[/quote]

[quote=Qu'ran 9:29]Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.[/quote]

Jizya is a kind of "protection" tax. The same tax the Islamic State is demanding that Christians pay or face death. They are being good Muslims doing exactly what the Qu'ran tells them to do. Non-Muslims must be "humbled".[/quote]

Non Muslims have to pay Jizya because they are exempt from paying Zakat which is the tax that Muslims are obligated to pay. For those who don't know, the Jizya is a tax imposed on the Christians and Jews living under the protection of the Islamic state. However, it is not imposed on all Christians and Jews. It is only imposed on the men who have attained puberty. So therefore it is not imposed on the women and children.

The Jizya tax guarantees the Christians and Jews complete protection under the Islamic state. If an enemy country attacks the Islamic country, the Islamic country has a duty to defend the Christians and Jews and the Christians and Jews are not obliged to fight while the Muslims are! The Jizya is a tax levied on non-Muslims in lieu of military service which is compulsory for Muslims but not for non-Muslims. The amount of Jizya is much less than the Zakat, which is levied on Muslims only. The non-Muslims paying Jizya are exempt from compulsory military service in a Muslim State but were entitled to full protection.

Muslims also have to pay a yearly tax called Zakat that the Christians & Jews do not pay. Zakat is binding on property, and jewellery. Zakat should also be paid in the form of food as well. The Jizya is not binding on the property of the Christians and Jews.

So ye, Jizya actually brings equality. Since the Muslims are obliged to pay Zakah, then why cant non-Muslims pay Jizya? That brings equality between the two.
