The Place of Tolerance in Islam

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Abou El Fadl, Khaled / El Fadl, Khaled Abou / Fadl, Khaled Abou El, PUBLISHER: Beacon Press, We suddenly find ourselves with very little knowledge of a religion and culture that continues to have an enormous impact on our world.

Reading the holy text in the appropriate moral and historical contexts shows that Islamic civilization has long been pluralistic, and even usually tolerant of other religions. Leading scholars of Islam offer nuanced commentary
