==History== ===Muslim world=== The practice of wearing special clothing or markings to distinguish Jews and other non-Muslims ([[dhimmi]]s) in Muslim-dominated countries seems to have been introduced in the [[Umayyad Caliphate]] by Caliph [[Umar II]] in the early 8th century.<ref name="Bell2005"/> In the 9th century, Islamic authorities begun to harden their attitude on {{lang|ar-Latn|ghiyār}} ({{lang|ar|غيار}}, or the differentiating of non-Muslims from Muslims.<ref name="Stillman">{{cite book |last1=Stillman |first1=Norman |title=Arab Dress, A Short History: From the Dawn of Islam to Modern Times |date=8 June 2022 |publisher=BRILL |isbn=978-90-04-49162-5 |pages=103–105 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YUB0EAAAQBAJ |access-date=3 October 2024 |language=en}}</ref> The [[Abbasid]] caliph [[al-Mutawakkil]] issued a decree in 850 that ordered Jews and Christians to wear the {{lang|ar-Latn|[[zunnar]]}} ({{lang|ar|زنار}}), honey-coloured outer garments and badge-like patches on their clothing and their servants' clothing.

These measures were not seen as being inconsistent with the papal bulls ''{{lang|la|[[Sicut Judaeis]]}}''. Most significantly, the [[Fourth Council of the Lateran]] headed by [[Pope Innocent III]] ruled in 1215 that Jews and Muslims must wear distinguishable dress (Latin ''{{lang|la|habitus}}'').

Therefore, that they may not, under pretext of error of this sort, excuse themselves in the future for the excesses of such prohibited intercourse, we decree that such Jews and Saracens of both sexes in every Christian province and at all times shall be marked off in the eyes of the public from other peoples through the character of their dress.
