There is no evidence that Jizya has led to mass-conversion.
>>18391879Islam was created so that the dark demons of hell could worship the light of God in Christ instead of being destroyed like they deserve.Sadly, they now worship a cube, and have become rather retarded.
Jizya actively incentivized Muslim rulers to not attempt to convert their other Abrahamic subjects
>>18391879Jizya was just a tax for security and other provisions, such as not needing to serve in the army. It was never substantial enough for people to convert en masse to avoid paying it. Forced conversions rarely happened, and when they did it was for political reasons.
>>18392046Military service was/is a source of societal advancement and participation, being excluded from it is absolutely not a privilege.
>>18392049They could serve in the military if they wanted. There were Jews and Christians who served in Muslim armies but it wasn’t required of them to.
>>18391879Reminder that even after the Islamic conquests, Zoroastrianism was still widespread based on how high the jizya tax rates were in conquered Iranian territories compared to other regions of the caliphate. Zoroastrianism didn’t become a minority religion until at least 200 years after the Arab conquest of Iran and during that time period, there were plenty of anti-Islam revolts led by Zoroastrians; just look up the Khurramites. Even the Ziyarid dynasty was founded by a Zoroastrian named Mardavij who was actually pretty close to expelling Islam from the country before he was assassinated by a Turkish slave.
>>18392059Where? At least in my country, non-Muslims were historically banned from the military.
>>18392049Why would I want to get killed in some towelhead war if I could stay home and just pay jizya? Am I just a coward? I don't think so because I just don't see why I'd want to join.
There is evidence it has led to making muslims rich though right?
>>18392059Jews and Christians occupied lesser positions in the fleet (Egypt) or were peacocks not soon for this world (see; Jews in Granada).As a whole, the early Arabs were protective of their rights to wealth and oppressing others culturally and economically. I say that objectively, even.
>>18391879Of course not. True followers of non-Muslims would stick to their faith, even under pressure.
