In my country as in many Western countries taxation is actually progressive. The more you earn the more you pay percent-wise.

Historically, the Israelis were of the indigenous population of Palestine
Why Muslims does not recognize this historic right to them ??
US here. I think we'll get where you are sooner rather than later. We're very screwed up at the moment, but we're working on straightening it out. If we can figure out that other countries manage to focus on their people rather than "spreading democracy" I think we'll make our biggest step forward in decades.Well I'm not American and don't know their system that well. For us, we have a social security safety net for poor, refugees, elderly and incapable people. Education is free up to master's degree with basic necessities provided, so people can be poor but their children have some equality in opportunity.
The US system isn't the way we have it. We have very few homeless for example. Even drug addicts and such are cared for by the government.
Personally, my new favorite oxymoron is "right to work"."Some work" is an understatement. Half the country denies clinate change and evolution. The working class is losing rights so quickly, and unless you want a lifelong debt, college is way out of the question for many youth.
Our corporations and elite control our country and really, there is no hope.
There are many things in the US I wish we had here, but I think it's nice to compare.US here. I think we'll get where you are sooner rather than later.

Conservative thought usually isn't too welcoming of socially based policies. Which I find sad.There are many things in the US I wish we had here, but I think it's nice to compare.
Lots of things have gone wrong since we joined the Euro though. I expect our adventures in Europe and diplomatic failures of the conservatives during two last governments will cost us some of what I mentioned.
Oppression is oppression. But doesn't mean you can just label anything simply anything you want.
I'd say the dhimmi system seem fair ideally, but I'd rather have a society where no one gets any kind of extra tax. The biggest problem with it in my opinion, is that it kind of makes religious minorities, if even permitted, second class citizens.
No mate........We are talking about thought and ideology called Islam
A fixed ideology does not change
Do you discuss Islamic teachings is hatred ??
That's OK.......... I didn't think that you could name your country.Where do I live ? I live outside national
These are personal matters which is beyond dialogue
....see?The big question is if the Muslims were able to rule Britain
That is why I was saying its okay on paper but easy to twistI do not think that the dhimmi system was fair ideally or in practice. It was definitely not egalitarian; when the Ottomans eliminated it, the purpose was to put Muslims and non-Muslims on equal footing. The jizya varied by region, and in some places it was considerably more onerous than the zakat, which meant that it was incentivizing conversion.
This was certainly more tolerant than the practices in place in Christendom. There's that. But ideal? No.
They wouldn't be stuck if they were not hell bent on war. Easy solution, get rid of hamas, invest money into housing and econony instead of bombs anf tunnels, and then they wouldn't feel so oppressed.Israel oppresses the Palestinians in daily basis, one example known to the whole world is the biggest prison in history
which is the Gaza strip.
You support the oppressor and that tells what kind of person you're.
Tribute as in tax?Question clear
Is Israel ask the Palestinian Arabs ( tribute )
Because they are Muslims living in the Jewish religion and the state ruled Palestine ???

Im actually against that. But I Hamas fuels more chaos and pain for their people then the right wing Israeli loonsAnd while Israel keeps on stealing the Palestinian lands then the Palestinians should get rid of Hamas and stay unarmed as slaves to the Zionists.

I hope to shirk candid answerI don't understand, I'm not going against the word of God!
God did not order us to do it except when they can be helping and if we don't follow some things in Islam, God won't mind if there are no warnings against it.
I'm nor negating a thing He say, I only chose to not apply teachings that were put to help because now there are solutions and means that can achieve the cause they were put for.
There are regulations put so we can use to live our lives and there is no harm in leaving it if that does not hurt.
Islam and most Muslims are not radical to demonize non Muslims by become extremist in some regulations.
Also, it is not like Christians for example follow Christianity 100% to criticize me this way you know. Or is it just Muslims and Islam that are okay for you to criticize?
Palestine was under Romanian controlWhy not to recognize it as a christian state ?
Christians were and still in Palestine too.
