Search: &quot;Robert Spencer vs. Moustafa Zayed&quot;<br /><br />The &quot;Encyclopedia Britannica&quot; states: &quot; The rate of taxation and methods of collection varied greatly from province to province and were greatly influenced by local pre-Islamic customs. In theory the tax money was to be used for charitable purposes and the payment of salaries and pensions. In practice, however, the revenues derived from the jizya were deposited in the private treasuries of the rulers. The Ottomans usually used the proceeds of the jizya to pay their military expenses.&quot;<br /><br />The Qur&#39;an dictates: &quot;Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.&quot; (9:29)<br /><br />The amount may very or be constant, only God knows. However, it&#39;s not the payment that matters but the &quot;Dhimmah&quot; (covenant) that occurs when it is collected, in which Christians must obey every command of Muslims and never try to outdo them in any way.Usamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06720487998406975994noreply@blogger.com
