"You honestly want to compare a dictatorship to a representative democracy?

I didn't make any comparisons, I am responding to dishonest comparisons with information that exposes their flaws.

I am responding to posts about historical circumstances that are 1400 years in past. Initial comments representing those circumstances as heinously cruel in relation to modern Christianity. The flaw in that arguement lies in the 'honestly' comparing a 1400 year old circumstance with modern Nations where Christianity is dominant. That's your 'honest comparison?'

I have demonstrated how the historical circumstances were overwhelmingly good when you compare the model offered by Islam with the models provided by other groups (brutal conquering, enslavement, torture, and slaughter). You and your buddies represent it as heinously evil my modern equivelencies, but ooops forgot to mention that in your honest comparisons.

I have also demonstrated the arrogant attitude that jiziya is something so alien and intolerable that no other culture would consider anything similar and barbaric, by helping you and your buddies see that it actually makes sense if some outsider who can't support your religious beliefs is to be allowed to participate and benefit from your establishment (YMCA example, foreign invester example).

"Taxes rates here don't depend on your religion. Not part of our "contract".

Good D. I live here and like it that way. So do millions of Muslims, a minor oversight from your side of the argument. So, what are you bitching about?
