As "People of the Book", Jews and Christians were regarded as protected people (dhimmi), who were permitted to retain and practice their religions, be led by their own religious leaders, and be guided by their own religious laws and customs. For this protection, they paid a poll or head tax (jizya).

This is exactly what I said.

"The Koran commands believers to force non-believers to submit to Islam, either convert or pay tribute (DHIMMITUDE), or die."

The Pope put his finger on this precise issue. This is exactly what he was talking about.

I don't have to go picking and choosing, looking for support, this is the central flaw of Islam, this compulsion to submit. You may think dhimmitude is "tolerance" but us kuffars don't.

Good luck with finding a way to be a Muslim that is pluralistic and genuinely tolerant.

Luckily for you, you live in a pluralistic, tolerant society.

There are no pluralistic, tolerant Muslim countries.
