Introduction
Islam is a religion of mercy to all people, both Muslims and non-Muslims. The Prophet was described as being a mercy in the Quran due to the message he brought for humanity:

“And We have not sent you but as a mercy to all the worlds.” (Quran 21:107)

When a person analyzes the legislations of Islam with an open mind, the Mercy mentioned in this verse will definitely become apparent. One of the aspects constituting an epitome of this Mercy is the way the legislations of Islam deal with people of other faiths. The tolerant attitude of Islam towards non-Muslims, whether they be those residing in their own countries or within the Muslim lands, can be clearly seen through a study of history. This fact is not only purported by Muslims, but many non-Muslim historians also accept it. Patriarch Ghaytho wrote:

‘The Arabs, to whom the Lord has given control over the world, treat us as you know; they are not the enemies of Christians. Indeed, they praise our community, and treat our priests and saints with dignity, and offer aid to churches and monasteries.’[1]

Will Durant wrote:

‘At the time of the Umayyad caliphate, the people of the covenant, Christians, Zoroastrians, Jews, and Sabians, all enjoyed degree of tolerance that we do not find even today in Christian countries. They were free to practice the rituals of their religion and their churches and temples were preserved. They enjoyed autonomy in that they were subject to the religious laws of the scholars and judges.’[2]

These just relations between Muslims and people of other faiths were not due to mere politics played by Muslim rulers, but rather they were a direct result of the teachings of the religion of Islam, one which preaches that people of other religions be free to practice their own faith, only accepting the guidance offered by Islam by their own choice. God says in the Quran:

“There is no compulsion in religion…” (Quran 2:256)

Not only does Islam demand their freedom to practice religion, but also that they be treated justly as any other fellow human. Warning against any abuse of non-Muslims in an Islamic society, the Prophet stated:

“Beware! Whoever is cruel and hard on a non-Muslim minority, curtails their rights, burdens them with more than they can bear, or takes anything from them against their free will; I (Prophet Muhammad) will complain against the person on the Day of Judgment.” (Abu Dawud)

How far is this mannerism than the majority of nations, to this day, which not only suppress the rights of foreign religions, but also foreign peoples and races! In a time when Muslims were being tortured to death in then pagan Mecca, Jews were being persecuted in Christian Europe, and various peoples were being subjugated due to their particular race or caste, Islam called to the just treatment of all peoples and religions, due to its merciful tenets which gave humanity the right to their humanness.

Answer 1

ditto a human bean

Answer 2

I would suggest you read the Quran. Islam teaches death to all infidels (all non-muslims are infidels.) Therefore Islam is a religion of hate and death. Your quotes you do use from the Quran are taken out of context. Islam does not believe in mercy except for those who accept its evil teachings.

Muhammad was an evil man who killed those who did not believe what he taught. He may have wrote words that called for tolerance right next to the words calling for death to non-believers, but his actions made it clear that death to non-believers was his real intention.

Answer 3

8: 12 in the koran tells muslims to chop the heads off of "infidels", and according to islam, all non-muslims are "infidels". That tells me I have the right to be killed and not much else. 4:34 tells muslims to beat their own wives, so I don't expect them to treat non-muslims any better. Muhammad himself ordered genocide against a tribe of Jews. Don't be fooled by this person who lies for the pagan moon god allah. Read the koran and see for yourself. Wake up and smell the jihad !

She did not regard it as an honour. And be clever, would wearing a tent over your head be mushy - no rely how lots you will attempt to cajole your self. bypass on, attempt it. positioned on the hijab for a month and notice in case you think of it incredibly is the form of competent component.

This has been posted twice, as is my answer (though my answer is slightly different).
Please read these quotes in the original books. It is important to get both sides of any issue, and to read things in context. I encourage you to see the beauties of Islam, but see it truthfully, without falsehood or partial truths.
