That will be the day when we impose jizya on Muslims!!

You are giving a very easy solution to Muslim problem in the West or for that matter in any non-Muslim nation. In one of my earlier post I had also suggested the jizya for Muslims residing in non-Muslim nations.

But I have my doubts if we can ever implement this. On the contrary we are still paying jizya to Muslim nations or to Muslims. Only the name has changed. Now a days its called humanitarian aid. Just tell me why do we pay Egypt one billion dollar or more every year. We have been doing it for more than a decade ever since Egypt made peace with Israel. Is this a ransom money or jizya, you decide, its one and the same thing. One can find more instances of such jizya imposed on non-Muslims.
