The Qur’an says:
Allah does not forbid you with regard to those who
do not fight you for [your] faith nor drive you out of
your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with
them; for Allah loves those who are just.
(Qur’an, 60:8)
There is no compulsion in religion. (2:214)
It is one of the functions of Islamic law to protect the
the privileged status of minorities, and this is why non-
Muslim places of worship have flourished all over the
Islamic world. History provides many examples of
Muslim tolerance towards other faiths. For example,
when the caliph Omar entered Jerusalem in the year
634, he granted amnesty to all and sanctioned
freedom of worship to all religious communities in
the city. Another example is Muslims who ruled the
Spain had such tolerance of other beliefs that the
The Golden Age of Jewish Civilization flourished under
the Muslim rule.
Not only that, Islamic law permits non-Muslim
minorities to set up their own courts thus allowing
them the autonomy to be judged according to their
family law.
Absolutely.
Jews, Christians and people of other faiths thrived in Muslim regions for 1500 years while non-Christians were being persecuted in Europe.
There are churches and synagogues all over Islamic countries. Muslims and people of other faiths live side by side as friends and neighbors.
Some of the kindest, most generous people I've ever met have been Muslim. I know many people who have traveled in Islamic countries and said the same thing.
Taliban, a-Qaida and those types are not representative of true Islam.
The most intolerant people in the world are Talmudic Jews (not all Jews). They consider everyone else to be subhuman. They are the ones who invented terrorism inspired defensive backlash.

Sure it does. As strong and true it is in its essence, and rightly nullifies the credibility of other faiths, it still respects them. Blinded are those people who don't see it through. While some people have misconceptions about the religion which we can clear it to them, there are those who vehemently hate it despite knowing the reality. The biggest hypocrite being the USA. They show 9/11 as a global tragedy but pay no attention to the entire they destroyed under the label of bringing 'democracy', 'peace', 'stability' etc. They know how true Islam is that's why they're hell bent on defaming and trying to suppress Islam. But we know what's going to happen in the end...
In scripture it does. But tell that to the nations who proclaim to rule by Islam. Where they have and still do kill those who aren't of their religion or their Islamic faction
Can I go to a country like Iran and walk around without hijabi?

Yes.
It's one reason why the religion spread so far and wide, across many races and cultures, in such a short time and without much conflict.
Islam is the only religion which says all humans are equal before one God.
Yes Islam tolerate other beliefs. But mimi we cannot explain to everyone may Allah make us on our emaan and we are so lucky that we are ummah of our prophet and we worship almighty allah. These kafir is speaking rubbish about our prophet and Islam because of our alrehmaan.
Not tolerant, otherwise why Muslims are responsible for so many terror attacks in the world.

Honestly, there is an unreal amount of blood on the hands of not just Islam, but every religion. Jews and Muslims want to kill each other. Even the different sects of Islam want to kill each other. Talk about bloodlust and hatred.
Soon as so called religious people actually behave in a religious and spiritual way, then I might just respect them.
Ahl al-kitāb, People of the Book (Christians, Jews, Sabians) in some verses. In other places it says to kill disbelievers (Surah 9). So it really depends upon whether the specific sect of Islam accepts the People of the Book as "believers." It seems like the Quran supports that, but the Mullahs often understand it differently.
Islam isn’t a single monolithic thing, it’s groups of people, some of whom see and do things totally different than others.
Some number of Muslims are intolerant, but that doesn’t make Islam an intolerant religion. There are many in faith that are very kind, gentle people.
Yesss..
In arab countries u will find Christians..
Both live in peace
But god told us to kill who try to get us out of house and who trying kill us like israel with phalastineI agree with you. Islam allows and tolerates other faiths
Yes it tolerates other beliefs so much that for a thousand years now muslims engage in an endless orgy of violence, oppression and brutal murder. Also, your holy book clearly states that muslims must lie to infidels in order to gain their trust and fuck them up from behind later which is what you're doing right now. Fuck islam fuck your prophet. The religion of death, slavery, oppression and murder.
am not that expert in islam so i will be silent..
also i promised u to never talk about religions anymore.The book says yeah, but in practice, there are enough fundamentalists who say the answer is a resounding no.
Only beliefs that follow the Abrahamic god, and then, only those that follow the demands of the Muslims.
That's a lot forgiving then the The Roman Catholics. The Vatican has millions of secrets.
Please stop discussing to these people on this topic
Islam is already a religion of tolerance and it is a very elegant religion.
Yes. I was told there was no compulsion in religion. Also I'm Muslim. I love my religion.
Yes it does but allow it :)
Yeah I think it does
