This | Traditional Islamic sources proscribe Islamic rulers to impose the [[dhimma]] or pact of "protection" upon non-believers living in their realms. This pact includes inter alia the responsibility of the protected [[dhimmis]] to pay a special tax, not propagate their religion, not take Muslim women as wives, and also to wear special articles of clothing to distinguish them from non-Muslims inter alia. These articles of clothing take many forms, such as a special color of cloth or a specially colored belt, and may have influenced later European Christian traditions of enforcing special colors of clothing on non-believers, particularly Jews, and even the Nazi practice of forcing Jews to wear the "Judenstern" or yellow "Jew-star." | ||
