Do Muslims accept that the laws of dhimmitude be applied to them in the West, such as the prohibition of their leadership and the non-acceptance of their testimony against a non-Muslim?
A Muslim who adheres to his religion will not accept residing in a place where he cannot uphold his faith, nor will he tolerate humiliation and submission to anything other than the law of Allah. Rather, he is content with Allah as his Lord and Islam as his religion. He will not accept living in a place where he has to pay jizya (tribute) or be subject to the authority of a disbeliever, in fulfillment of Allah's saying: "And never will Allah grant to the disbelievers a way (to triumph) over the believers."
Furthermore, the testimony of a disbeliever against a Muslim is not legislated; instead, justice is stipulated for the witness. A Muslim should not accept such matters. Rather, he should emigrate to another place where he finds abundant space and much good, as Allah says: "And whoever emigrates in the cause of Allah will find on earth a spacious refuge and abundance."
