The use of distinctive clothing or marks for Jewish and
other religious communities has been traced by historians to
ancient times.[2]
In the early Islamic period, non-Muslims were required
to wear distinctive marks in public, such as metal seals
fixed around their necks. Islam, like Judaism, forbids
permanent skin markings. In consequence, lead or copper
seals were used to mark non-Muslims and slaves in the
Islamic world. [3]
Likewise, they were not allowed to wear colors
associated with Islam, particularly green. [4] The practice of
physically branding Jews and Christians appears to have
been begun in early medieval Baghdad and was considered
highly degrading.

[5] According
to Bernard Lewis, Christians and
Jews were forced to wear special emblems
on their clothes. The yellow badge was first
introduced by a caliph in Baghdad in the
ninth century, and spread to o the West in
medieval times. Even in public baths, nonMuslims wore medallions suspended from
cords around their necks so no one would
mistake them for Muslims. Belts, headgear,
shoes, armbands and/or cloth patches were
also used. Under Muslim Shi'a rules, they
were not even allowed to use the same baths
[6] And finally in 1005 the Jews of Egypt were
ordered to wear bells on their garments so
you could hear them coming.
