Should Muslims in the US pay jizya (extra tax)? (suspect, ideology, states)

So we are going to abandon the constitutional separation of church and state ?

That’s exactly what OP wants.

Fortunately, the single fastest growing religious choice in America is none.

If I wanted to ignore idiots, I wouldn’t spend any time on c-d at all. Because public forums sure do attract them!

I am not in any way, shape, or form implying that you are one of them. You’re not.

And that's one of the main reasons Trump is so popular. White evangelicals know time and demographics are not on their side and after a couple more decades they won't have the numbers anymore to win elections.

Why don’t you and your Muslim hating cohorts impose it and collect the tax yourselves?

Separation of church and state died in the late 1970s when Jerry Falwell transformed the GOP into the "Christian party."

Discriminate against people because of their religion? No, I don't support that.

Non-Christian religions are false

Go read the Constitution and in particular, the 1st Amendment.

I wish you could learn to be an American.

Germany imposes a church tax on Christians. Let's do that, too.
