Answer 3

The Jizya; paid by non Muslims; is a kind of payment by non Muslim for as kind of participation in the military expenses and in return they are exempted from the military service. That is why it was paid only by those who are capable of doing military service but exempted from doing it. That is why it was not imposed on women, children, old or sick non Muslims. The jizya was cancelled when non Muslims agreed to participate in the military service. The Kharaj was paid by all people; Muslims and non Muslims. So, there no aspect of non Muslim humiliation)

Answer 3

Answer
Muslims were tolerant conquerors for the time-period, but there was no concept of equal rights (especially since the concept of "rights" did not exist until the Enlightenment in Europe). Non-Muslims, called Dhimmi in Muslim-ruled state, lived in Muslim territories at the will of the sovereign. In this situation, they were allowed to practice their religions and cultures, but not as equals under the law. It is also important to note that polytheists such as the Zoroastrians and the Hindus were treated belligerently by their Muslim conquerors at several critical moments.

The Dhimmi had to pay the jizya, or tax for not believing in Islam. Dhimmi also had to pay additional taxes on land-holdings and these taxes where called kharaj.* In addition, the Dhimmi could not sell wine or pork in the public marketplace. They were not allowed to build new places of worship, restore old places of worship, or perform any act which could be viewed as proselytization. In many jurisdictions, a Dhimmi could not trust law enforcement to protect him, a judge to accept his testimony (especially against a Muslim), and in certain cases had their children stolen by Islamic rulers to be raised as Muslims (most commonly in the Ottoman Empire's devşirme system). The Dhimmi was a humiliated second-class citizen.

Muslims argue that the taxes that the Dhimmi were compelled to pay are similar to Alms or Zakat in Islam or defend them as being a replacement for military service for which Muslims were often conscripted. However, both of these are false apologetics for blatant legal discrimination. As the former, Muslims pay the Zakat as an act of faith and belief in the same way that Christians paid tithes to the Church in the Middle Ages. Paying the Zakat is a privilege and an honor and a pillar of faith. Paying the jizya and the kharaj are forms of repression. The money expended by each party is irrelevant, it is the purpose behind the tax that is important. As to the latter, Jews and Christians would have preferred to be able to defend themselves and their communities than to remain weaponless and just hope that the sovereign would treat their communities well. In the rare conditions when Jews or Christians were asked to fight on behalf on the Islamic Empires (such as the Jewish defense of Cordoba from 711-714), they actually did, showing a willingness to serve as equals in society.

Note
*Although Muslims also had to pay the kharaj in theory, in practice the tax rate for kharaj on Muslims was slight compared to the amount required by the Dhimmi peoples.
