Though there is no need of fear. Islam promises peace and love for all. Islam appears so nice; will remain beautiful, until the end of time. Love and beauty of Islam is able tasted by anyone who wants to taste it. If a person is a Muslim, the sweetness of Islam will be felt perfectly. But for non-Mmuslim, splashed by the love of Islam, has made them able to smile happily.
It is true the word T.W. Arnold, in his book The Preaching of Islam. There is written a historical record, the harmony of Muslims and non-Muslims; occurred when the Ottoman government. Well said T.W. Arnold, "Though the number of Greeks more than the Turks in the various provinces of the Caliphate in Europe, religious tolerance is given to them, the protection of life and property acquired to make them recognize the protection of the Sultan toward all Christians."
Sultan Muhammad al-Fatih also carve an impressive history. When the City of Constantinople was conquered, he pledged himself as a protector of the Church of Greece. He also issued an edict banning harsh oppression of the Christians. Followed with out the decree that contains security protection to the bishop-elect and his successors in the future. Treatments of Muhammad al-Fatih Sultan to citizens of non-Muslims are really elegant.
That is Islam. Every human being seated on the nature of each. There are obligations that must be done and there are rights that should he obtained. Non-Muslims who choose to live under the shade of the Caliphate (Ahlu dhimma), then it is obligatory for those implementing Islamic rules of a general nature, also must pay the jizya (annual fee). It was imposed only to healthy adult male.
Having performed its obligations then ahludz dhimma perfectly entitled to protection. They are treated equally with other Muslims. They should not be harmed. Anyone who hurts ahludz dhimma, Prophet Muhammad pbuh said, it hurt him (Prophet Muhammad pbuh) just the same (hadith narrated by ath-Thabrani). They will not be forced to embrace Islam. They are free to perform their religious rules in terms of worship, also in matters of food and clothing. So also any marriage and divorce among non-Muslims returned to the provisions of their respective religions.
Fear of the establishment of Islamic rule is clearly unwarranted fear. Because, where there is Islam, then there is the love of God and the accompanying benefits. Precisely this is the system of capitalism should be feared because it proved to devastate the world. So the rules of Islam is not to be feared, but instead missed its presence.
