Islam focuses upon the concept of citizenship, whereby all citizens regardless of faith are protected under the law. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said “Whoever harms a Dhimmi (non-Muslim citizen of the State), it is as if he harmed me”. It is clearly forbidden to oppress a non-Muslim, in fact even the taxation levels for non-Muslim citizens are lower than those for Muslims. You raise an interesting point over freedom of movement, expression and interaction. In these matters the Caliphate has a very open immigration policy in which citizenship can be granted after a short period and there is little or none of the oppressive red tape, surveillance society, monopolised media and increasingly stifled political debate that we witness here in Britain for example.
