  1. Islam The Religion of Tolerance
    (From The Historical Perspective)
    I will like to draw or call the attention of the both Muslims and non-Muslim about the So-Called Tolerance.
    And to draw to attention of The Christians in particular to know that Christianity was never a religion of tolerance and it will never be, the bible itself and history ascert the intolerance of the So called Christianity.
    That is the reason why thousands of millions of people all over the World disagree with Christianity as a Universal Religion.
    Tolerance may be seen as The ability to accepts or enduring with the beliefs, opinions or practices of others.
    Qur’an and Tolerance
    there are copious verses in the Holy Qur’an that denote and command tolerance to the non-Muslims however not to non-Muslim alone but to every being regardless of their distinctive/particular affiliation.
    the following Qur’anic verses teahes tolerance:
    1- “There is on compulsion in (accepting) religion. The right course has become clear from error. So whoever disbelieves in taghut [i.e false deities] and believes in Allah (GOD) has grasped the Most Trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing”. [Qur’an 2:256]
    2- ” Allah does not forbid you concerning those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes from being righteous towards them and acting justly towards them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act juslty”. [Qur’an 60:8]
    3- “And they (the Muslim believers) give food inspite if their love for it to the poor, the orphan, and the captive, [saying]: we feed you only for the acceptance of Allah, we wish not from you reward nor gratitude”. [Qur’an 76:8-9].
    Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said in regard to tolerance: ” My Lord has commanded me that we should not oppress the ones whom we have a pact with ( i.e non-Muslim who reside in the lands of the Muslims ) or anyine else.” [Baihaqi].
    Prophet Muhammad also said to one of his companions namely Ashaj Abdul-Qais: ” you possess two qualities that Allah loves (they are): Clemency and Tolerance. ” (Muslim).
    Therefore the Christians should know that Islam teaches Tolerance and do not agree in oppressing others regardless of the faith, race e.t.c. So be just to Islam and Muslims.
    if you want to know more about Islam and Islamic tolerance please read the following Books:
    1- The Universality of Islam. By Dr. Abdullahi al-Kahtany.
    2- Islam is the Religion of Peace. By Dr. Abdul-Rahman Al-Sheha.
    3- The Key To Understanding Islam. By Dr. Abdul-Rahman Al-Sheha.
    4- Islam and Contemporary Social Problems. By Haruna Aliyu.
    Bible and Tolerance
    However Christianity and Bible say nothing about Tolerance but it denotes intolerance the following Biblical Verses state:
    1- “Go not into the way of Gentiles, and into town of the Samaritans enter ye not: but go rather to the lost sheep of Israel… ” [Mathew 10:5-6]
    2- ” leaving the palace, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. A Canaanite woman from vicinity came to him, crying out, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon’s possession. Jesus did not answer a word. So his deciples came and urged him, send her away, for she keeps crying out after us. He ansewed her, I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel. The woman came and knelt before him Lord help me, she said. He replied, ” it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it their dogs. ” [Mathew 21-26]. There is no sign of Tolerance as the previous Biblical verses ascert.
