Interesting that you would bring up the Jizyah tax. Doesn't it strike you as unfair that an all encompassing and peaceful religious government would allow people to practice their religion, only if they paid a tax to do so? Why is it that this religious/political system became more and more hostile to non-Muslims as time went on? And why to these governments that follow this peaceful and all-incompassing religion insist on imprisoning (and worse) people of other religions? Regarding the Jizyah tax, it is not tax levied on non-muslims for the purpose of allowing them to practice their religion. Since non-muslims are not required to serve in the militaries of muslim countries and fight in defense of that country (if need be), the tax is paid to the state as a substitute for their military service.
Regarding Islamic governments imprisoning (or worse) non-muslims, I can't speak on that issue since Islam does not permit the abuse of non-muslims living in Islamic countries simply because they are non-muslims.

So tell us what in Islam - your peaceful religion - jibes with your smearing Jews when EVERYONE KNOWS Muslims committed the murders on 9-11.
You are a Muslim, that's for sure.

Have the communists of the Soviet Union prosecuted anyone for descent? Of course not. These people where German or American spies, mentally ill, etc.
Have Nazis killed Jews because they were Jews? Of course not. The Jews were conspirators to enslave the world.
You are correct. A true Muslem will never prosecute someone becasue he is a non-Muslim.
Of course not. He will call them "Zionists" or "CIA pigs." Now, where is the rope and a tall tree?
