Just came across this Sharia-handbook and how Non-muslims should be treated in an Islamic state, I wonder how much of this is actually of Islamic character and is this how we should treat them?
''9.11.3 Conditions imposed on non-Muslims
Such an agreement is only valid when the non-Muslim subjects:
(a) follow the rules of Islam mentioned below (9.11.5) and those involving public behavior and dress. Non-Muslim acts of worship and their private lives have their own laws, judges, and courts that enforce the rules of their own religion among their communities;
(b) and pay the non-Muslim poll tax (jizya).
9.11.5 Rules for non-Muslim subjects
There is an obligation upon Non-Muslim subjects to comply with Islamic rules that pertain to the safety and compensation of life, reputation, and property.
In addition, they:
1. are penalized for committing adultery or theft, though not for drunkenness;
2. are distinguished from Muslims in dress, wearing a wide cloth belt (zunnar);
3. are not greeted with "as-Salamu 'alaykum";
4. must keep to the side of the street;
5. may not build higher than or as high as the Muslim buildings, though if they acquire a high rise home, it is not razed;
6. are forbidden to openly display wine or pork, to ring church bells or display crucifixes, recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feast-days;
7. and are forbidden to build new churches.
9.11.10 The Agreement violation
1. commits adultery with a Muslim woman or marries her;
2. conceals spies of hostile forces;
3. leads a Muslim away from Islam;
4. kills a Muslim;
5. or mentions something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet - may Allah venerate him and give him peace - , or Islam.
o11.11 When a subject's agreement with the state has been violated, the caliph chooses between the four alternatives mentioned above in connection with prisoners of war (o9.14).
o9.14 When an adult male is taken captive, the caliph (def: o25) considers the interests (O: of Islam and the Muslims) and decides between the prisoner's death, slavery, release without paying anything, or ransoming himself in exchange for money or for a Muslim captive held by the enemy.
