I was saying that anyone who was not Muslim was discriminated against in the form of various fines, and as I forgot to add, types of clothing. Jews as People of the Book supposedly were exempt from some things, like forced conversion I beleive, but I can't remember offhand and it's late. BTW there were very rich and powerful Jewish clans in Pre-Islamic Arabia, so the discrimination was usualy when one of the three major religions, Christianity, Zoroastrism, and later, Islam, increased their power.

For anyone who doesn't know Diogenes is Dee-oh-gheh-ness.
