Re: Jizya tax - What was the logic?
Peace there fluffmaster
Give me a break. Stop trying to defend this by bringing up divisions from sports and music. How often do we see jazz music lovers kill country music lovers?
Many religious folks including muslims view people from other religion in a negative way.. they think they are inferior and will go to hell..or that they will start from a disadvantage when they die and are facing the “heaven or hell” test. How many times do we hear the threat of “You’ll see on judgement day” ?
There are way too many practices and rules in religion that divide society.. and that is simply unhealthy for today’s globalized and multicultural world. That’s it. It’s just unhealthy.. it’s just counterproductive in us trying to build a cohesive society.
Any religion that refuses to adapt to the changing world will have to come up with nonsense excuses for its primitive practices. Some of these rules or practices might have been genius moves back the but they simply dont make sense today. The problem is that religious rules and regulations are viewed as ACTUAL directions from an ACTUAL director and controller of the universe. This leads to the notion of “why should religion adapt? religion is forever. its applicable always and always”.
If only we realized that religious rules and religious stories are all manmade fictitious notions used by scholars/warriors/sages of the past to control/guide the sheep population.
Christians have done a much better job in realizing some of the stuff in their books is just nonsense and backward… many of them are Christian today simply from a cultural perspective. I wish more Muslims did the same.
Don’t bother typing up 10000 words in response. I have seen enough long posts full of circular logic and issue evasion from you to know your type.
Peace sharaabee
Fluffmaster? It seems here the irreligious one has started a personal argument with the one who stands by his faith. Now this is exactly how it translates on a scaled up version. Note it was you who started this mud slinging … And I shall end it by the teachings from my religion … Where it tells me to deal with you in a better way that you have dealt with me …
May you be guided and me too … Peace (that is an intended statement) unfortunately it is others who don’t want to make peace and blame my beautiful religion for their own intolerances.
And you see I did as you asked … Not a long circular post …
