When will you realize that you are wrong? There is no religion standing for peace,it is no logical. Every religion says it is the best.

Pls cite me a religion which says some other religion is better than it.

I don't know if you're aware, but in the west saying that Islam is not a religion of peace makes you enemies. Saying the same about any other religion, no-one cares.

Why would they want to pay? Which tax are you talking about? There weren't any taxes for them back then.

Because all have to pay for the treasury regardless of their religion,as to fund the state's affairs and to help those who in need,
but for those who refused to pay for being unbelievers then they have to pay by using force, if they accepted to pay then no
need to use the force, the verse is very clear.

Yes, the verse is clear but did taxes like what we have now exist back then in what was still essentially Pagan Arabia? In Mecca? Can you name me a specific tax?

Second, why would the nonbelievers have refused to pay these so-called taxes if the Muslims had been so nice to them? What reason would they have? They wouldn't. Muhammad led his army to slaughter and massacre Jews and drive them out, so why would they want to pay taxes to him? It's not really surprising.

Ah go ahead Rival.

Spread the Muslim Boogeyman story.

The same story where it was Crusaders who treated Muslims and Jews merciful, but it was Saladin who butchered Jews and Christians lmao

Crusaders treated Muslims and Jews mercifully? No, I don't think that at all.


I just don't think that, for example, wife-beating is peaceful.

I would advise u to look into the bloody history of christianity and west. It would surprise u that Western Bloodthirstyness is the reason why Native Americans are smallest minority in their own homeland. Why millions of blacks killed by the civilized west during slavery.

Lol, no that's not peaceful.

But could you please address the scriptures I quoted? This is not about individuals, Muslims or anyone else. I know that everyone has done bad things but I'm talking about Islam, from its texts and so on, not about what individual Muslims do.

I will never reject words of Allah to appease Kuffar. Its take it or leave it.


U wanted to talk about peace. Well as a western person u have no right to talk about that because of what westerners are doing today and did in the past.

Sorry man, I'm tired. I know what Christians did, but as I said this is not about them, or anyone. It's about criticism of the texts of Islam.

Yes everyone has to pay for the treasury, if the disbelievers refused to pay voluntarily then they have to pay by force, the word Jizyah ( جزيه ) is derived from the word (جزاء ) which means penalty, look it up here

Do you have evidence that this all-around tax actually existed in Mecca during the time and before the time of Muhammad?

Fundamentalism in any religion is based on a strict black and white literal interpretation of the religious text. Fundamentalists are generally a minority, and only 3-4% of Muslims are jihadists, but they are the ones being loud and obnoxious, so they get the attention. No one notices the ones that are quietly blending in.

Guilt by association is fallacious. I can make the same claim as you. There are Muslim terrorists thus you have no right to talk about violence done by other people. Try again. Besides war and violence are not unique to the West but also within Islamic history. You justify your culture's violence just like everyone else does. Thus you have eliminated not only yourself but most of humanity from the discussion since violence is part of all our history.

I'm critiquing the text not the people. I'm critiquing the text not the people. I'm critiquing the text not the people. I'm critiquing the text not the people. I'm critiquing the text not the people.
