Human Rights & Tolerance

!

Islam persecutes others and spreads hate.

✓

Islamic Response:

No compulsion in religion (2:256); historical protections for minorities and coexistence.

  • Quran 60:8 urges kindness and justice to non‑hostile non‑Muslims.
  • Prophet honored a Jewish funeral by standing.
⚖

Biblical / Talmudic comparison:

  1. Deut 13:6‑10: Mandates killing even relatives enticing to idolatry.
  2. Psalm 137:9: Violent vengeance imagery.

Given 'no compulsion' and historical pluralism, is Islam uniquely intolerant?
