Re: Faith, Faith, Faith
...it is a tax that keeps a person in poverty.
I think you are misrepresenting things when you state this. Is it your opinon? or fact? that there are more poor Christians than poor Muslims in Islamic states and that it is due directly to the taxation of the Christians?

Re: Faith, Faith, Faith
The tax is designed to humiliate and torment.
This is an opinion and the use of "humiliate" and "torment" only serves the purpose to cause an emotive response by the less discerning. The use of taxes is what it has always been...
cigarette taxes?
Alcohol taxes?
Even gas taxes...targets specific groups of people...so what?
There may be more dirt poor Muslims because the religion does not reward enterprise and success..
Maybe you can begin by supporting your opinion. Are you suggesting that capitalism is a christian trait? Seems odd since christians aren't supposed to be trying to amass success, money, and power here on earth...right?
...but at least they have had the privilege of pushing Christians and Jews off the sidewalks.
Oookaaay, I think that you might have a specific example in mind, unfortunately you tread into ignorance by saying it applies to all Muslims/Islamic states.
It's fact but I have to find the research.
Yes, find the facts please it would serve you better.
Christians are also forbidden to own a dwelling that is taller than a Muslim's and churches must always be smaller than mosques.
Like I said you might be thinking of a very specific place, if so, please let us know because making a generalized statement like this makes you look ill-informed.

So, where and what are you talking about exactly because it is untrue for Egypt as well as the other places mentioned by Chiroptera and AP. It sounds to me like you have a specific group in mind and a specific location...so out with it!
