*A little interesting history for those whom don't know. So is anyone wearing an ape or a pig?(sounds silly at the moment)....READ.... The problem is Muslims must abide by Sharia law. One Sharia law is known as Dhimmi. The word dhimmi is derived from the noun dhimma, which in its turn comes from a verb dhamma meaning 'to blame, find blameworthy, criticize, find fault with, censure'. The term dhimma thus in its original meaning denotes an obligation or liability arising from a fault, blame or debt owed to another and a dhimmi is someone who bears this obligation or liability. The idea that a defeated person is liable for a debt to their conqueror is consistent with an ancient principle of Arab customary law. According to an ancient Arab concept ... the victor in a fight who spares the life of an enemy taken prisoner does actually do the latter a good deed. This "good deed" involves however ... simultaneously, a legal claim to a "reward". The concept of dhimmi dates back to the 7th century. Status was originally only made available to non-Muslims who were people of the book(i.e.Jews and Christians), but was later extended to include Zorostrians, Mandeans, and ultimately also Hindus.The status of dhimmi applied to millions of people living from the Atlantic Ocean to India. The treatment of dhimmis, including the enforcement of restrictions placed on them, varied over time and space, depending on both the goodwill of the ruler and the historical circumstances. The "dhimma" was the most oppressive in Morocco, Yemen and Persia where Jews were subjected to what has been referred to as “ritualized degradationâ€. The periods when Islamic states were strong generally coincided with more relaxed attitude towards dhimmis; however, treatment of non-Muslims usually became harsher when Islam was weak and in decline. Over time, the treatment of dhimmis tended to develop in cycles, such that periods of when restrictions imposed on dhimmis were relaxed were immediately followed by the periods of pious reaction when such restrictions came to be enforced again. The 11th-century Shafi'i scholar Al-Mawardi, in his treatise on the principles of Islamic governance, divided the conditions attached to ‘’dhimma’’ on top of the requirement to pay tribute into compulsory and desirable. One of the desirable conditions included a requirement to wear distinctive clothing. For example, "different colored shoes, one white the other black"; for males, badges such as an "ape for a Jew and a pig for a Christian: for women yellow veils." The distinctive dress shows the Muslim that the dhimmi is to be treated as an inferior - not to stand up for them or shake their hands, not to give them Muslim charity. He is to expect respect and deference from the dhimmi who shall not join a group of Muslim or raise his voice in their presence. The dhimmi is to stand aside if the pathway is narrow. It is haram (unlawful) for a dhimmi to slaughter animals. Reserved for the dhimmi is the cleaning of lavatories and sewers, and carrying away rubbish and refuse. A dhimmi's house should be painted a dull color and be no larger than that of a Muslim neighbor. The consensus opinion of Muslim Scholars justifies the imposition of tribute on non-Muslims who fall under the Muslim rule in terms of Sura 9:29 of the Qu'ran. The verse calls upon Muslims to fight against the “People of the Book†until they pay the jizyah head tax and are humbled: Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold forbidden that which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. (Qur’an 9:29) We are now seeing the resurgence of dhimmi once again. As In 1990 the world's Islamic countries signed a document called the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam. It is a declaration of the member states of the Organization Of The Islamic Conference which affirms Sharia Islamic law as the sole source of human rights. Last week there was a report tyrannical Iranian dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will impose a dress code for Muslims and non Muslims. It is in accordance with Dhimmi and stems from the belief that the quest of converting the entire world to Islam is an immutable fixture of the Muslim world view.
