1. Zakat: Muslims must pay if they meet criteria; It is a religious obligation like praying. (2.5% on Zakatable income/assets after you have held the minimum amount (around 750 gbp) for 1 year)
2. Jizya: A tax paid by non-muslims if they can afford to pay it; in economic terms this is less than what Muslims have to pay in Zakat. If non-muslims are too poor to pay then the State pays it!
I pay tax (income, VAT, sales, etc) which is imposed on me in the west. It works out to be around 50% of my income!!!!!!
Yes, the non-muslims wanted the muslims to conquer them and liberate them from the scum that ruled over them like the Romans, Byzantians, Persians..these people lived in misery; had little or no security; and were treated like rubbish.
Read real history and not that orientalist nonsense and learn the truth.
The muslim armies smashed the Roman, Byzantine and Persian empires together..the people embraced Islam in nations...it seems that process will now repeat itself very soon.
I am going to simplify it for you non-muslims:
