    There were no innocent men in a "war". and the women and children he's referring to are innocent because they are WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
    Tax (Jizya) was put in place so the non-Muslims would receive protection from the Muslim army if they(non-Muslims) were threatened from outside forces, the non-Muslims were NOT even required to fight in any war. It was all voluntary. Read up history books, all there.
    Btw, you pay tax don't you? In return you get social services, protection..etc.. :rolleyes:

    What these people don't realise is, the Jizya is less than the tax that Muslims pay (Zakah). So how does that mean non-muslims are less equal? If anything they are more privalidged.

    If i am right, Muslims should not lend money for interest?? Whats the base and reasoning behind this? Are there no banks in the Islamic nations??

    secondly,I have heard that Islam agrees that Jesus Christ is one of the mightiest messengers and prophets of god.Am i right ???

    If you study the economic situation right now, you will see the root of all problems; interest. The rulings in Islam are there for a reason, interest is forbidden for good reasons, lengthy topic you can research if you like.
    and there are Islamic banks out there that operate without interest.

    and yes Jesus (peace be upon him) was one of the greatest messengers sent by God. So was Moses, David, Ibrahim and Muhammad (peace be upon them all). Note: these are not all of them, many more..

    I guess in today's world it is not very easy to stay without having a bank account. Most Muslims in India have a regular savings bank account.

    A woman has as much rights as men in Islam. Unfortunately, in the backward nations of today, some are not given this right which God has given.

    For more info, here is a site you can look into http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/humanrelations/womeninislam/

    From what i know, to have more than 1 wife is not reccomended, but for example, in alot of countries there are millions more women than men, what if all these men get married to a woman, what about the other women? Are they to just be alone all their life against their wishes?

    lol is the reverse also true? There are so many countries where there are more men than women. So, according to Islam, would it be right if one woman had two husbands?

    Wrong! The number of men and women in the world is roughly equal, though men hold a slight lead with 101 men for 100 women (in 2005).

    Not true as well. There is no country in the world that has million more men than women

    That said, faith is something which usually does not have logic. This applies to all religions

    Now, I know why Islam is said to be one of the most humanitarian religions ;)

    I don't know where these people get their stats from but this is totally wrong factually.

    well anyone can be picky,, like you ;)
    why not also quote this:
    for the sex ratio, there are more women, even by your facts. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2018.html
    and add to that women do live longer than men

    It's pretty much equal. There are places that have more of one than the other, but they are pretty much overcome by places with the opposite. Alaska, for instance, has more men than women.

    In response to my earlier post here that included:
    I received the following feedback:
    "Your ignorance of reality is shocking."


    Oh heck... I'm not in touch with reality? LOL. Well... one of us isnt. But hey... Islam is a religion of peace.
