Minority Rights in Islam - Christians, Jews and Non Believers in Muslim countries
Channel: Navigate Islam
Date: 2017-03-29

This video addresses the concern that Islam denies non-Muslims in Muslim lands their due rights. Plural legal systems and fundamental freedoms to life, religion, association, movement and other rights protected by covenants or treaties are discussed, as well as the position of Islam when it comes to violating these rights. The origin of the concept of jizyah (protection/military exemption tax) is also explored as well as an example from the actions of the Caliph Umar towards non-Muslims who did not wish to pay it. Lastly, the video discusses the issue of non-Muslims being prohibited from building places of worship in Muslim lands.

Navigate Islam is an initiative based in Australia that aims to promote mainstream and classical views held by the Muslim community. What started as a training program for young Muslims has now emerged into a network of thinkers and activists representing the tradition. 

With the educational support of Nigerian mentor, Ustadh Nuruddeen Lemu, Navigate Islam seeks to enable people with the tools to traverse the challenges of a spiritual life in a world full of mixed messages about Islam.
