The Legacy of Jihad
Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-Muslims
Reveals how, for well over a millennium, across 3 continents - Asia, Africa, and Europe - non-Muslims who were vanquished by jihad wars, became forced tributaries (called dhimmi in Arabic), in lieu of being slain. This book examines how jihad war, as a permanent and uniquely Islamic institution, regulates the relations of Muslims with non-Muslims.
