While this subjugation is comparable - albeit in each specific account different - from the legal disadvantages imposed upon women under Islamic law, the rationale is fundamentally different. Though the Quran  decries non-Muslims as being, among other things, 'deaf, dumb, blind'<ref>{{Quran|2|171}}</ref>, 'evil'<ref>{{Quran|62|5}}, {{Quran|7|177}}</ref>, 'like cattle'<ref>{{Quran|25|44}}</ref>, 'perverse'<ref>{{Quran|9|30}}, {{Quran|63|4}}</ref>, and 'without intelligence'<ref>{{Quran|8|65}}</ref>, any supposed characterological traits are not the underlying reason for their subjugation, as might be thought to be case for the subjugation of women. The reason for the the subjugation of non-Muslims living in the Islamic state is because the have the potential to convert to Islam - As the Quran states, this subjugation is simply intended as measure which, through bringing about their humiliation, will incentivize their conversion.
