The Communication Between Saphronius and the Muslims

The Muslims were camped around Al-Quds and the negotiations took place with the patriarch of Jerusalem. Safronius feels throughout this conversation that the Muslims really don't want to kill anybody. They're not trying to spill blood in a place that's holy to them. The message is we're willing to let you practice your faith. We won't touch any of your relics. You'll pay the jizya. You'll have our protection. SubhanAllah, think about that. That tax that you will pay for that protection is less than what the Muslims pay in Zakah. Sounds like a great deal, right?
