Umairp,
This is the point I want to make, the responsibility to protect the land lies with ALL who live in it. If a non muslim is enjoying the facilities provided by the state, they have to contribute in full measure to the development , safety & progress of the land.Why the discrimination ? Would it be all right if the non muslims were to sit back somply because as you say its not their " sole responsibility" but that of the Muslims ?
Just coz you have planned a Rose Garden are other flowers banned from blooming in the garden? Ideally , a garden must have a mix of all plants but that is a another issue beyond the purview of this thread.
In the Indian Army, there are Regiments with Muslim Risaldar / Subedar Majors with Non muslim troops. They have fought equally well.
I think I have answered you in the above thread. its not discrimination but rather responsibility issue. Primary responsibility is of Muslims. Secondary of non-Muslims.
Because in an Ideal Islamic state(that had been a reality in the past) non-Muslims pay a litttle tax for their safety(we ( muslims) pay zakat.) and for that cause we cannot force them to fight.
When this kind of situation arose in the past when non-Muslims were called on the battle field they were given their taxes back.
