Muslim propagandists use an attractive motto which says that Islam is the religion of justice and equality. It is the religion of freedom and women’s dignity, they say, but this cannot be proved by mere talk and a loud voice, especially among people who do not know the reality of Islam. It is also true that even most Arabs don’t know the truth about Islam. However, a case is proved by only by presenting facts and empirical evidence.
Muslim propagandists claim that Islam is the religion of equality and justice! Where do you get that idea? Show us! How could that be if Islam says that Non-Muslims whose lands are invaded by Muslims and conquered by force are not allowed to build new religious monuments or even to renovate the destroyed ones? This was what Islam said, and this was the verdict of Umar Ibn al-Khattab who was known as the Just Caliph, as he was called by Muslims.
Tell us where equality is if a non-Muslim’s testimony is not acceptable or even allowed in court against Muslims or even against other non-Muslims, as the most famous Muslim scholars indicate? And of course, non-Muslims do not have the right to assume leading jobs in the state.
Tell us where the justice and equality is in Islam when a Muslim’s life is spared even if he kills a Non-Muslim intentionally while a Muslim may only be required to die if he assassinates another Muslim. The reason, as Muhammad said is that "only Muslims’ blood is regarded equal." Thus, no Muslim should be killed for murdering a non-Muslim. If Muhammad says–according to all scholars–that "only Muslims’ blood is equal" (have the same value), we have the right to ask, "Where, then, is equality?" Muhammad says to us, "I meant the equality between a Muslim and another Muslim and not between a Muslim and a Non-Muslim."
On the other hand, we will see that if a non-Muslim merely curses a Muslim, he must either be sentenced to death or be converted to Islam! However, if a Muslim murders a non-Muslim, he will only pay a fine.
Abu Al-Ala Al-Mawdudi’s View: Discrimination is Necessary!
In his book, "Rights of Non-Muslims in Islamic States" which has been translated into many languages, this great scholar asserts that we should distinguish between the rights of non-Muslims and the rights of Muslims. On pp. 2-3, Abu Ala al-Mawdudi says:
"An Islamic state ... is by its very nature bound to distinguish between Muslims and non-Muslims, and, in an honest and upright manner, not only publicly declares this state of affairs but also precisely states what rights will be conferred upon its non-Muslim citizens and which of them will not be enjoyed by them."
Now let us analyze the rights which are not supposed to be conferred on non-Muslims. We will witness the worst practices of racial discrimination and religious segregation.
A Muslim Must Not Be Sentenced To Death For Murdering A Non Believer!
Muhammad himself gives justification for this. He says only Muslims’ have blood that is alike; thus a Muslim should not be put to death for murdering a non-Muslim but must pay a blood feud to the family of the murdered man. As expected, the great Muslim legists and scholars such as Ibn Timiyya, Ibn Hazm, Al-Shafii, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, Al-Jalalan, Al-Bukhari and Muslim agree on this important point.
James was surprised reading this chapter. This was a chapter showing the dark side of the laws of Islamic society, especially for the Non-Muslims. Now, James understood the purpose of Aftab Ahmed attending the case. He would have been offended by this chapter and decided to work towards banning the book. But, however hard the truth may be, it is still the truth!
James continued solving the clue, till late night. And he woke up early the next morning to continue his work.
