| While we prepare for the advance of the Kingdom, the Sunnah Party calls for a few changes to the way politics are conducted in Badara With regard to mandatory State Religion, we add the following stipulation: "The Official State Religion is hereby deemed to be Israist Ahmadism. "While other, non-official religions and sects are freely permitted to exist and practice their faith in Badara, all sane adult male adherents to those religions and sects (the Dhimma) must pay the Jizya annually, which shall be set legislatively as the 'luxury tax'. "Women, the elderly, crippled, developmentally disabled, and the insane members of the Dhimma are exempt from the jizya. In addition, monks, the indigent, members of the Dhimma who join the military and itinerate members of the Dhimma are also exempted from the tax. "The Jizya was commanded by Ahmad and all those who pay or are exempted shall not be harassed or molested in the observance of their religious traditions in anyway. In addition, they will be free to set up places of worship to include religious schools for their children. In addition, all dhimmi are exempted from compulsory military service." |
