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

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

I’d appreciate your explaination of this statement. You’re saying we should submit to the muslims? No, you quoted earlier from http://muslimsvoteronpaul.com/. They seem to be implying that.

Note the beginning of their policy statement, my bold.

Just to make it clear in response to a load of e-mails I've received, Jews are our cousins and brothers in faith. Just because Israel is a terrorist state does not mean Muslims are anti-semetic for denouncing it as a corrupt US-backed Zionist entity. Zionists are not all Jewish by the way.

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. Read more about it here.

Their ideal, 8th to 10th century Spain, was a time when Muslims ruled Christians and Jews, their inferiors, the jizya, of course, was universally applied.

Myself, if I were a politician, I'd reject this support.
