Toleration

I h ave done a lot of work these last few months on Toleration. I added a brief section on toleration of Christians and Jews in the Qu'ran and in the Ottoman Empire, but have nothing on mutual toleration of currents within Islam or modern views. If you have a chance, could you take a look and possibly help to expand the section? For example, the hadith currently being discussed on WP:RSN is quite interesting, but I don't know nearly enough about the subject to add it carefully to the article, or even if it should be. Thanks-- Jonathanwallace (talk) 11:45, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I could be missing it, but I searched the USC Hadith collections. This particular hadith does not seem to appear in the works of 'Bukhari', 'Muslim' or even 'Abu Dawud' so people are going to argue about it. I would exclude it from the article, I believe that's consistent with policy.
BTW, the Toleration article is an admirable project, and just skimming, I don't see much about Islamic tolerance. If you are interested, I would refer you to the Dhimmi article for more information. While the article is problematic due to its controversial nature, a careful reader may discern the outlines of how other monotheistic faiths were protected by Islamic law for 1400 years. Other religions were not treated equally, but they did have some protection. According to Bernard Lewis, for example, Jews seemed to fare better under Islamic rule than Christian rule for the past 1000 to 1400 years. Regrettably, those days as passing as we speak.

Thanks! Yes, I found a letter from a rabbi inviting others to leave Europe and come live in the Ottoman empire, where conditions were better. I will look at Dhimmi. Jonathanwallace (talk) 13:51, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
