Previously Unreleased: The Changing Nature of Dhimmitude and the Jizyah

January 21, 2010

What follows is a short academic work I authored in 2009 but have never released. My hesitation to do so was out of concern that it might be misunderstood, in that Christian Europe in centuries past did abuse Jews more greatly than the Islamic world, but that says nothing of the present condition, where Islam seeks to violently eliminate the Jewish community around the globe, and Christians do not (at least not as a matter of religious doctrine). Thus, I ask that this be read with the understanding that any claims seemingly defensive of Islam do not reflect support for the faith in the 21st century, where it foments violence and human rights violations like no other.

In order to preserve formatting, specifically as related to footnotes, I have this as a PDF and uploaded it to Scribd. The essay is embeded below, though you may download it as well.
