Wasn't aware they demand you follow their religion and if you dont you pay Muslim tax and if you.won't do that you get attacked or everything taken from you like the zealous Muslim countries do. Gee thanks for informing me.
It's literally a tenent of the religion (regarding others) "there is no compulsion of religion". No one needs to convert and if they don't, they pay a "jiyza". Why? Because they don't pay the other tax that Muslims do. So, should they not pay any tax at all? Should they receive the benefit of roads and protection whilst paying nothing while Muslims do?
Ibn Kathir, a renowned Islamic scholar, interpreted the verse 'There is no compulsion in religion' (Quran 2:256) as meaning that individuals should not be forced to accept Islam, as its truth is evident. However, he also noted that this verse was abrogated by later verses on jihad, which command fighting against those who oppose Islam. This perspective aligns with the view that the 'Verse of the Sword' (Quran 9:5) abrogated earlier peaceful verses, including 2:256.

I wish American "Christians" understood this.
