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.

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.11 Reply

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...

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.

@berethor, here is answer, when you occopy sources of other country who is weak, you kill their people, you loot their belongings and you rape their women, so are those people not justified to take revenge? Yes, definitely Yes, when they try to take revenge
from cruel aggressor, they are condixered Terrorists, what Nonsense Concept. America, NATO and it's allies attacked Iraq, Libya, Syria and Afghanistan, what these aggressors did with these countries and it's people, their oil resources are still under the aggressors, still Muslims are considered Terrorists, luckily Talban of Afghanistan has kimedontheir asses and get them out from their country

@Mimi_758, why you afraid to show favor to China, China has brought two big Muslim Rivals on the table and made them friends, now Iran and Saudi are going to resume diplomatic relationship, so credit goes to China to bring two Muslim countries close, Saudis still afraid of America due to Assassination of King Faisal, most of Royal family members are agent of American CIA and his puppets

@Cheerfull009 why you become a follower of me? looting, raping and killing, sounds like something that Muslims like to do. Afghanistan has attacked America first, but it's true that America might not needed to involved in Libya and Syria. You like Talban and ISIS? well it fitting for a Muslim, so I am not surprised.

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.

+1 yAhl 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.

I'm sure you haven't read the surah 9 to understand it, rather heard a cherry picked argument to label it all the same and justify a propaganda.
Here's surah 9's fourth and fifth Ayah:
Qur'an 9.4
As for the polytheists who have honoured every term of their treaty with you and have not supported an enemy against you, honour your treaty with them until the end of its term. Surely Allah loves those who are mindful ˹of Him˺.
Qur'an 9.5
But once the Sacred Months have passed, kill the polytheists ˹who violated their treaties˺ wherever you find them,1 capture them, besiege them, and lie in wait for them on every way. But if they repent, perform prayers, and pay alms-tax, then set them free. Indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Islam is a religion of peace, not pacifism. It allows Muslims to be kind those non Muslims who andhere to treaties and don't wage war on Muslims. But if things go other way around, there are rules for wars in Islam and bloodshed is allowed in retaliation.

@Spade_01 Okay, Christophobe. See how easy it is to label someone with assumptions while knowing nothing about the person?
+1 yIslam 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.

Because they do not know how it is because they do not live in a country where Islam is widespread. Another example, Yıldırım Beyazıt Khan, who was the sultan during the Ottoman Empire, fought the Ankara War with Timur, the leader of the Timurid State. The Ottomans lost this war. 11 years passed before the Ottomans regained power. During this 11-year period, there was no loss of territory in the Balkans. Because the Ottoman Empire was a Muslim state and was tolerant towards non-Muslims. so there was no loss of land. This shows that Islam is tolerant of other religions.
346 opinions shared on Religion & Spirituality topic. 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.
