Session 36. Islam is often portrayed as a harsh and intolerant religion in Western media- a view that is mostly informed by actions of extremists such as ISIS, Wahhabi Salafis and the ruling clerics in Iran. But, a careful examination of the Quran shows that the Prophet Mohammad encouraged tolerance among his followers. Quran’s stance on tolerance is rooted in some of its keys teachings: 1) humanity has one universal nature; 2) cultural and religious diversity is God’s Will; 3) there is not a single way to salvation; 4) other religions have a divine origin. These teachings lay a firm foundation for tolerance in Islam. In this presentation, we will examine Quran’s position on religious tolerance.<\/p>\n
