Re <<Where does in Koran say that? Surah 9-29>> I thought you may say that. All Moslem are required to pay “Zakat” which is a tax. If you are not a Moslem, your tax is called Jizia and not Zakat. That’s all. Also here is another mention of Jizya: Volume 3, Book 34, Number 425: Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, son of Mary (Jesus) will shortly descend amongst you people (Muslims) as a just ruler and will break the Cross and kill the pig and abolish the Jizya (a tax taken from the non-Muslims, who are in the protection, of the Muslim government). Then there will be abundance of money and no-body will accept charitable gifts. If you do not believe in a government, you still need to pay tax to it if you live under it. If you do not believe in the US government, you still must pay your taxes if you live and work here. You have once again made assumptions without taking the time to understand the basics. I am not asking anyone to learn about Islam, but I think one should refrain about slandering it without a basic understanding of what it is all about. Mani
