4. concerning dimmi status, i don’t really agree with you. As far as I know from my islamic studies, dhimmi status was a kind of justice for muslims first, and a privilege to ahl al kitab. Let me explain. In the first islamic state, established by prophet Mohammed asws, and as ordered by the Quran, the military engagement was an obligation for every muslim. No one could stay at home without participating to the jihad. It was a religious obligation that could’t be applied to non muslims, to christians and jews for exemple. So, as a statement of justice, those who didn’t have to participate to military campagns and were protected by muslim army had to participate to the effort, so they participated with money with the dhimma. I said it was also a privilege because dhimmi people benefit from a military derogation. So many poeple (specially hypocrites) whould love to have this derogation, but it was only for non muslims.
