ABSTRACT
Muslim states have shown eagerness to participate in international organizations and co-operate with other powers to promote international peace and security. This is a significant phenomenon in the behavior of states whose traditional law of nations is so radically different from the modern law of nations and the principles implied in the United Nations Charter. Islam, emerging in the seventh century of the Christian era as a conquering Power with world domination as its ultimate objective, refused to recognize legal systems other than its own. Islam, probably more than any other religion, has the character of a jural system which regulates the life and thoughts of the believer according to an ideal set of rules regarded as the only correct and valid one. The treaty of 1535 modified the principle of the law of Islam by granting Christians exemption from the poll tax.
