No compulsion of faith is when you take nothing not even their lives when they refuse to accept Islam..

Whether the 4 Imams are told to kill non believers..you have to go find out and read..I can only lead you thus far

If they don convert and can't pay the jizya ...what is the penalty?

So, I can claim that your religion commands the killing of all non-Christians without substantiating it, and when you challenge me, I tell you to go find it yourself.

Can like that?

When they can't afford to pay the jizya, they don't have to pay. Women, children, old men, don't have to pay jizya. No penalty.

Truly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”



There is power in words, and especially so in the words of Christ. While hanging on the cross, Jesus speaks these words to the penitent thief, as recorded in the Gospel of Luke. The Church’s tradition holds the “good” thief to be St. Dismas. This is one of the most powerful moments in all of the Gospels, and is, at its core, a shocking and even scandalous display of Christ’s love; shocking because it is not something you’d expect to be told to a criminal who has been condemned to death, and scandalous because in a way, it appears to contradict Jesus’ own teachings.



You see, St. Dismas, by all assumptions, was not always a man of faith, and he was certainly not someone who had been striving to live a sinless life. The situation he finds himself in on the day of Christ’s death proves this: he was a criminal, and for his crimes, he had been sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate alongside Jesus and another thief. As the Gospels say, “One of the criminals who was hanged railed at him, saying, ‘Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!’ (Lk 32:39). However, Dismas rebuked the other thief, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong” (Lk 23:40-41).



Then, in perhaps the most vulnerable moment of his life, Dismas utters words that not only reveal his heart, but transform it entirely: “Jesus, remember me when you come in your kingly power” (Lk 23:43). Jesus responds, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise” (Lk 23:43). It’s interesting that Dismas, having come to believe that Jesus was the Messiah, expressed this through his words and not just in his heart. Would Jesus have saved him had he not said anything? We can’t know for sure, but it can be assumed that Jesus knew Dismas would be on the cross next to him at the time of his death.



Of course, Dismas also wasn’t baptized, so how could be be saved without undergoing this most fundamental tenet of the Christian faith? In this way, Jesus breaks his own rule, so to speak, but he is Jesus. How often have Christians throughout the ages argued about the means by which a person can be saved? Jesus is very clear about salvation, and of course, he gave authority to the Church to be the keeper of the means to achieve it, but perhaps that’s why Dismas is so important, and why God deemed it necessary for him to be mentioned in the Gospels. With a truly penitent heart and a sincere belief in Jesus Christ as the savior of the world, paradise can be anybody’s; heaven itself is a paradise of belief, as it were.

You're lying when you said our esteemed Imams taught us that we should kill non-Muslims everywhere.

Or you're mistaken.

I have googled and I could not find anything that says our 4 esteemed Imams taught us to kill non-Muslims everywhere.

So, please substantiate your claim or admit you're lying or mistaken.

This was the original message..you said 4 so I unknowingly also follow you assume it was 4 of them...so you clearly have mis read ...OK I forgive you Big Grin

there are disagreements between the 4 Sunni Imams. Imam Shafi'i and Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal (and present-day Salafists) all rule that except for Jews/Christians/Magians, all other non-Muslims (like Atheists, Buddhists, Hindus etc.) should be killed all over the world. They don't have any right to stay alive even after paying Jizya

Imam Abu Hanifa and Imam Malik said that the killing of all other non-Muslims was limited only to the Arab polytheists.

Aiyoh.. how many times must answer this.

If an able-bodied man can't afford to pay, then no need to pay.

Let me tell you of an interesting story. When the Muslims in Spain were about to be defeated by the Christians, the Jews who were under the Muslim protection got their jizya refunded to them because the Muslims were no longer able to protect them.

Ok. I'm mistaken to say all 4.

So, please show me where any of our 4 esteemed Imams taught us that we should kill non-Muslims everywhere. 

Otherwise, please admit you're lying or mistaken.

The Jews and moslems were not always enemies... both sides also support each other during times of need.. the jews protect the mosques, the moslems repair the Jewish graves..
