dhimmis

Millions of Christians live in the Middle East as 2nd rate citizens - dhimmis with no practically no rights.

Fourth, you brought up dhimmis thinking it was devastating, but you just wrecked your own position.

The rights of dhimmis are protected, they can rule with their own laws among each other.

For centuries, Jews and Christians in Arab lands were allowed to exist as dhimmis, second-class citizens with limited religious rights.

The people who advocate for treating Israeli Arabs as second-rate citizens will bring up dhimmis.

The violence will keep getting worse as their numbers in Western countries grow and the spineless dhimmis continue to apologise for them.

Muslims just don't want to let go of Jews, Christians and other minorities not being dhimmis in what used to be Muslim land.

As an Islamic scholar you are also familiar with the concept of dhimmis.

The dhimmis were obligated to pay the jizya for following their ancestral religion.

The jizya was payable by non-Muslims dhimmis living in an Islamic state.

Jews (and Christians) had the status of dhimmis.

Christians were dhimmis under Muslim rule in Spain.

So ignorant to call them "tax base", when in actuality, Zakat that Muslims pay is much much more than the Jizya that Dhimmis pay.

Instead of living among Arabs as dhimmis or the disposable "other" among Europeans, they are a nation again and have the power to defend themselves.

> "It's because of dhimmis like you" Is specifically against HN guidelines for commenting.

But even the quickest conversation with legal scholars from those nations will highlight the fact that they believe that their system is "universal" (because it encompasses all of humanity in it's legal system: muslims, dhimmis, etc).

Under Arab colonisation Jewish people either lived as Dhimmis, which are second class citizens, or were subject to outright violence (you can find many incidences of this before 1948), or both.
