Didn’t the former empires collect taxes or extract some sort of tribute from their “subjects”?

The Muslims for Ron Paul folk you quoted earlier get into that.

The only so-called clash between Jews and Muslims occurred in recent history when the West created it. Before that, we coexisted in peace. In fact, there was even a time when Muslims RULED OVER Jews and Christians. Under this rule the Jews were so well accepted in society that Jewish religious, cultural, and economic life blossomed. This time period has been coined the Golden Age for Jewish culture.

And the Jews and Christians paid the Jizyah (dhimmi tax), as they should today.

Makes you heartsick for the 9th century, doesn't it.

I’d appreciate your explaination of this statement. You’re saying we should submit to the muslims?

Aha. So is your proposed dhimmi tax a flat tax and is it indexed to the rate of inflation?

I won't pay your dhimmi tax! LOL.
