First of all the blood money explained is something the government has introduced and has not been taken from the sacred islamic law. So the whole arguement about a muslims life being worth more than a hindu woman is nonsense. Bottom line is Arabia is not a country which practices sharia, although it claims it does.

Secondly.......

I have heard again and again about Jizya, well i ask this to the people complaining about it....

Does the UK government not charge overseas students extra money for education just because they belong to another country ?? Do overseas people not have to pay extortive amounts for health services ? Why is it more diffcult for a person from another country to find a Job in the UK ?

And on another point , you know nothing about how the jizya works, if you did you would see how fair it is.
