ArchivedMuslim befriends a Christian? I doubt it!Peace all, According to Islamic law as quoted by Malik's Muwatta Book 17, Number 17.24.46: "The sunna is that there is no jizya due from women or children of people of the Book, and that jizya is only taken from men who have reached puberty.” In other words, men of military age, were excused from joining the army in exchange for paying jizyha. According to Abu Hanifa, there are also exceptions for the poor, slaves, monks and hermits. Islamic Law states that “if” non-Muslims trade in Muslim countries, coming and going in them, a tenth is taken from what they invest in such trade. This is because jizya is only imposed on them on conditions, which they have agreed on. {Muwatta Book 17, Number 17.24.46}. Live stock was accepted as payment Book 17, Number 17.24.45) . Did Muslims or non-Muslims pay more in tax ? Both non-Muslims and Muslims were required to pay tax in Islamic countries. The Muslim tax was called “Zakat”, which was much more broad. Non-Muslims did not have to pay any zakat on any of their property, livestock, produce or crops while Muslims –did-. Zakat also varied depending on the Muslim's situation, depending on the size of property, number of live stock, amount of savings, on average, the Muslim paid more taxes than the non-Muslim. Besides an average of Muslims paying more taxes, Muslims also had to pay with their lives, they had to join the army and defend the country, whereas non-Muslims in the country were not required to enlist, again displaying the price for the Muslims was higher than for the non-Muslims. Both Muslims and non-Muslims alike faced force if the tax was not paid: Collecting Zakat (Muslim tax) Book 17, Number 17.18.31: "Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Abu Bakr as-Siddiq said, "If they withhold even a hobbling cord I will fight them over it." Tax amounts in Islamic compared to non-Islamic countries; In Islamic countries, military aged capable non-Muslims men are required to pay 10% tax, how much tax do non-Muslims and Muslims alike have to pay in non-Islamic countries? Here is a international comparison of tax burden ratio chart; Japan (23.3%), USA( 27.9%), Germany ( 30.1%), France (34.3%), Italy ( 35.7%), UK ( 36.2%), Sweden ( 54.4%) Source: Annual Report on National Accounts Economic Research Institute, Economic Planning Agency (Apr. 10, 2000) Bushmaster wrote:
And who is going to put that first bullet in his stomach?You? You sure have a violent way of thinking Bushmaster. Right,your a soldier. Silly me :roll: Yes we fight in the way of Allah. Like I've said before, as Muslims there is no such thing as patriotism where we need to fight for our country. We don't fight for Allah, we fight in the way of Allah meaning that we will recieve our reward from God Almighty, not some mere medals. It is Islam that unites Muslims. If everyone decided to fight for their own countries, then the Muslims would not be aiding each other. That's why there are so many foreign troops in Cechnya for example. Please don't even come with that! Save us the BS. Was America coming to give me freedom when it bombed us in my own homeland? They came for one man, and destroyed a whole nation. America never goes into a wars unless it's for her own national interest. It is never to aid their fellow human beings. But then again, this is how all Christian superpowers act, don't they? We can't forget what Britain did when they were ruling the world. Never has a Christian nation lived up to the standards of the Muslim empire when we ruled the world. As George Bernard Shaw said: "If a man like Muhamed were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness." How is he pathetic? Do Christians not have God the son, God the father, and God the spirit? I just mentioned three seperate Gods. Unless you can't count that is. So explain to me, if you really understand the trinity, how they become one? Furthermore, do you even know when the trinity was invented? Certainly not while Jesus was on earth.
