Non- muslims were exempted from the zakat tax, which all muslims had to pay. So its not like they only taxed the christians and jews. Second, the dhimmi were exempted from military service, and any dhimmi who served in the army were exempted from the jizya tax. So quit trying to create a false dilemma.
Being slaughtered by muslims? What? Now you're arguing a completely different point. Their quran says don't do that unless they attack you first and stop once they stop. So theoretically and legally you are safe. Now if you're arguing that Muslims will be shitty and ignore that part of the quran then thats different.
And again, youre acting like this is exclusive to Islam. Christianity had even less choices: convert or die.
Ive heard the argument that if the quran says to be modest, and a woman truly wants to follow the religion and be faithful, she will choose for herself to wear it. The hijab allowed a woman to be in the presence of men in public without violating the rules.
When the Muslim hordes rampaged westward through Europe, everywhere they went, they subjected those who did not die or convert to the jizya. Your assertion that people dont have to pay this within a strictly sharia, muslim dominated society, is absurd. Suggesting that if I only join the army, and slaughter alongside barbarians, I wont have to pay the taxes, bores my point out even more.
The Quran, and Muslim scholarship, leave just about any action performed by a non believer that Islam deems impure as a grounds for offensive actions. The idea of Muslims living in a sinful land like America, forced to assimilate into a wicked land, is typically enough. Listen to some of the tapes from successful or would be suicide bombers. They quote verse after verse as to why they do these things, and their knowledge of the Quran and Hadith are not usually bettered.
Here's a few verses from the Quran that demonstrate the Muslim attitude towards the grounds for violence.
Quran 5:32
Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.
Sounds pretty peaceful, right? But then we find out what corruption means in the next verse, which Muslim apologists conveniently leave out every time.
Quran 5:33-34
Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment, (Quran 5:33)
Except for those who return [repenting] before you apprehend them. And know that Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
Quranic scholars, from Bukhari down, have made it quite clear, corruption in Islamic lands (any land taken by Islam can never be rescinded) is anything not following the Sharia.
Refusing to become a Muslim without paying the taxes and being a holy subject? Death
