This is the Charter of Umar. It’s the pact of protection that the Jews and Christians were forced to live under, or face death. People that live under Muslim rule are second class citizens (Dhimmis) 1 - We shall not build, in our cities or in their neighborhood, new monasteries, Churches, convents, or cells for monks. Nor shall we repair, by day or by night, such of them as fall in ruins or are in Muslim neighborhoods. 2 - We shall keep our gates wide open for passersby and travelers. We shall give board and lodging to all Muslims who pass our way for three days. 3 - We shall not give shelter in our churches or in our dwellings to any spy, nor hide him from the Muslims. 4 - We shall not teach the Quran to our children. It is forbidden to touch the Quran. 5 - We shall not manifest our religion publicly nor convert anyone to it. But we can not prevent any of our kin from entering Islam if they wish it. (We are forbidden from displaying grief for the dead in public.) 6 - We shall show respect toward the Muslims, and we shall rise from our seats when they wish to sit. 7 - We shall not seek to resemble the Muslims by imitating any of their garments, the qalansuwa, the turban, footwear, or the parting of the hair. We shall not speak as they do, nor shall we adopt their kunyas. 8 - We shall not mount on saddles, nor shall we gird swords nor bear any kind of arms nor carry them on our persons. 9 - We shall not engrave Arabic inscriptions on our seals. 10 - We shall not sell fermented drinks. 11 - We shall clip the fronts of our heads. 12 - We shall always dress in the same way wherever we may be, and we shall bind the zunar round our waists. (The Jews were required to wear a yellow badge and the Christians a blue one. Nazis did this to Jews too.) 13 - We shall not display our crosses or our books in the roads or markets of the Muslims. We shall only clap in our churches very softly. We shall not raise our voices when following our dead. We shall not show lights on any of the roads of the Muslims or in their markets. We shall not bury our dead near the Muslims. 14 - We shall not take slaves who have been allotted to Muslims. 15 - We shall not build houses overtopping the houses of the Muslims. 16 - (When I brought the letter to Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, he added, We shall not strike a Muslim.) 17 - We accept these conditions for ourselves and for the people of our community, and in return we receive safe-conduct from you. 18 - If we in any way violate these undertakings for which we ourselves stand surety, we forfeit our covenant (Dhimma status) and we become liable to the penalties for contumacy and sedition. 19 - They shall not buy anyone made prisoner by the Muslims. 20 - Whoever strikes a Muslim with deliberate intent shall forfeit the protection of this pact. Shari’a Law added: 1 - They are not allowed to defend themselves against a Muslim. 2 - They ARE not allowed to testify against a Muslim. 3 - Their graves had to be level so that anyone can walk over them. This is unambiguously sanctioned in the Quran : 9:29 - Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His apostle nor acknowledge the religion of truth (even if they are) of the People of the Book UNTIL THEY PAY the Jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.
