You mean Sura 9:29, where the Dhimmi tolerated paying the jizya with willing submission and feeling themselves subdued? Or do you mean tolerated their beards being pulled and slapped on the face with a sandal while paying the jizya? Or did you mean wearing a tan or yellow belt to indicate their Dhimmi status?

In your post, it's the word "tolerance" part that confuses me.

I understand if you're confused by my use of a capital "D" in dhimmi.
see my included quote above -- am i prescient or what?
