| #4 They are to pay the Jizya in abject humiliation. Crawling on the floor and bowing to even the lowest muslim. Jews are also supposed to be 'people of the book'. |

| #2 I read of American GIs in Afghanistan after 2001 being asked by locals if they were "people of the book", so this position is known at least to some Muslims somewhere. Of historical interest, it is well documented that Francis of Assisi traveled to Egypt during one of the Crusades, got through the lines and confronted one of the major Muslim leaders with Francis's intent to convert him to Christianity. The odd thing about this encounter was that Francis came back alive and unharmed. Muslims probably took him for a dervish -- they basically dressed the same as Francis did. |
