I dont understand why you are deliberately going on a tangent.

you have clearly stated that the jizya tax is dependent on a few conditions. The main condition is that by paying jizya tax non Muslims WILL NOT PAY ZAKAT.

now, if the jizya tax is exactly the same as the zakat tax (2.5%) then we can happily end this debate and both conclude there is nothing wrong with such a tax. however, if the jizya tax is greater than the zakat tax which its suposed to replace, then there is a fundamental issue of discrimination here.

do.you.get.me?

The conditionalities are on the side of the Taliban to fulfill. They can not collect the tax till they do what was listed.

Where do you come up with the idea that the main condition or paying jizya is because non-muslims will not pay zakat. Muslims do not just pay Zakat. There have been other taxes in the past.

According to wikipedia - Jizya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - there was no fixed number. While Zakat is applicable to muslims. Jizya is only applicable to men of military age or of considerable wealth.
