The "extra" taxes non muslims paid in a muslim country was not extra in a sense the ruler took money from muslims too "Zakat" paid as a compulsory religious duty. This money was spent in service for all citizens.
The punishment for not paying the jizya was death. pay us or we will kill you. Also the gizio was used to pay for military engagements to expand the Muslim empires. Plus the gizio was used for Muslim overlords to fund their lavish lifestyles. And you are right that the Jizya used for the benefit of all. So it really depends on what point of view you look at it from. On one hand those who claim it was a form of extortion are right. On the other hand those who claim it was a tax used to fund the services for the benefit of all are right. On the other hand those who claim it was used to fund Muslim imperialism and colonialism are right. On the other hand those who claim it was used to fund the lavish lifestyles of the Muslim overlords of the Jews are right. So both of the defenders and the detractors of the Jizya are right.
God almighty was testing prophet Mohammed and his companion by commanding them to face toward Jerusalem if they follow the command of God or their ego but they follow the command of God they prove they are obedient and both places are to worship one God .BANU ismael BANU Israel they are cousin ..
