[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does Islam impose a higher moral standard for how you treat other Muslims than for how you treat non-Muslims?[/quote]

Not OP but Another Muslim poster: nope- a person is a person. [/quote]

My grad school friend's roommate wouldn't shake my hand because as a non-believer I was unclean. I thought there were special tax rules and protected statuses for People of the Book vs. atheists and polytheists, too?[/quote]

Was the Muslim a man or a woman? What are you? Muslims aren't supposed to shake hands of the opposite sex, but it has nothing to do with being unclean.

Muslims pay zakat. 
Christians and Jews living in an Islamic state paid jizyah. Muslim rulers in India extended the tax on Hindus and Sikhs. I don't know if it exists anywhere today.[/quote]

I don't think all of this is cultural. I've read the Koran cover to cover and it's OK to kill apostates/atheists and polytheists. The treatment of Jews and Christians varies a lot, in fact the Koran talks about the slaughter of one town of Jews in approving tones. I'll admit older parts of the Bible give me pause, too. How do you feel about these parts of the Koran?[/quote]
