The London-based Pakistani Islamist preacher and historian Adnan Rashid has sent a new message to local Christians: “We will rule, you pay jizya (Islamic tax) and you will have peace.” His clip, published under the title “Christians Under Sharia: Peace or Persecution?”, presents the jizya system as evidence that Christians could live peacefully under historical Muslim governments. Rashid argues that jizya has historically been a successful system in which tax is paid by non-Muslims to Muslim rulers in return for state protection. Subscribe Visegrád24
