How can Islam justify the discrimination on Jews and Christians in Islamic countries?

Question

kookie chick,
What examples of discrimination against muslims in western countries can you supply.In western countries the discrimination is not built into the law like it is in many islamic countries(ie Saudi Arabia).

Christians do NOT discriminate against people who lead a homosexual lifestyle. Christians are implored to love everyone incl gays, but they are not to accept practicing gays fully into the church unless the gay person has repented just as they would not accept anyone else into full membership who has not fully and truly repented of other sins. So your accusations of discrimination are incorrect.

Sizzling Fajita,
I have nowhere in this correspondence advocated violence as the answer to violence as you have falsely accused me of. Maybe you just are incapable of understanding what is written.

Zainab b, I suggest YOU do your research. Do ou deny that under Islamic law jews and christians have to pay a special tax which muslims do not have to pay. There are other numerous examples. Just get hold of the law books of saudi arabia. Your claims are false!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nina,
I am astounded! Get Real please. Islam is I'm sure meant to operate as you suggest BUT.....
There is the special tax on Jews and Christians
Jews and Christians ARE discriminated as I have described
This is what happens in practice. Furthermore Bahais are persecuted.
The Buddhist statues at Bamiyan in Afghanistan were defaced by the Taliban. IN PRACTICE ISLAM DOES DISCRIMINATE!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

How can it justify most of the outrageous things it advocates?
I am not talking to your sensible moderates of course...

Answer 2

Why you claim about discrimination on Jew and Xtian? There are so many Xtian and Jews or other religion living in Muslim country, but they still can do what ever they do.

Don't you see what happen if there is more Israel country in the world? I think a lot of Muslim people died without reason. Now, its only one but to find a peace and harmony each other sound impossible.

Answer 3

Well, first and foremost there is nothing to justify since no where does islam preaches the discrimination of jews or christians.You can go anywhere and reserach for yourself, in fact in the quraan Allah talks about them in several places when he says 'people of the scriptures' and 'children of israel.' yes i totally agree with you that islamic law has been lifted from various muslim countries and a lot of coruption has taken place. if you look at the islamic history you will see that non muslims were living under islamic rule with protection and the freedom to practice what they wanted. Please don't be narrow minded, since a lot of people here are, first learn then ask.

Answer 4

First, let us define what do you mean by discrimination.
Second, Islamic countries spread across the world.
Third, Islam pays great respect to Jews and Christians. But Muslims might not as the difference between what Christianity is all about and how christians apply it.

Answer 5

How does anyone justify discrimination against any one else. Where there's a will there's a way. there is a saying, When you point a finger there's always 3 pointing back.

Answer 6

I'm not sure such discrimination can be justified by Islam. Mohammed himself negotiated and endorsed the 'Constitution of Medina' which laid out religious freedom for 'peoples of the book' (Jews and Christian's). If its good enough for the prophet it should be good enough for Islamic governments.
I suspect the discrimination is actually one of politically expediency, rather than having any religious justification at all.

Answer 7

i've constantly talked about how islam and the middle east is about 500 years behind our society but some idiots always make parrelels to christianity.

most people don't know that national papers, muslim papers in these countries frequently portray jews as rats in cartoons and this is universally accepted.

but i guess it's wrong when some cartoonists draw a few satirical drawings of muhammed (fu.ck him)

Answer 8

Same way Christians and Jews justify their discrimination against people of different faiths, homosexuals, and people who are just different from them.

And this is why these wars will keep on going....because of people like you. Who justify violence with violence.

Answer 9

the same way some justify discrimination against Muslims in Christian countries??

Its not Islam but the way people choose to interpret their religion.

Answer 10

Because Mohammad told them to do it. Mohammad's policy was "believe me and God", which is a clever way of making it seem like if you were doubted anything Mohammad was teaching, you insult God and God would punish you for it. Mohammad was really bitter when Christians and Jews rejected his new religion, so he added more to his Koran and told everyone "do not make friends with the people of the Book (Bible).

Neat huh?
