Tolerance and Coercion in Islam: Interfaith Relations in the Muslim Tradition - Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization
Friedmann, Yohanan (Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
Yohanan Friedmann uses the Qur'anic and classical sources to explain Islamic attittudes to interfaith relations. While they were usually tolerant, coercion was employed occasionally against marginal elements. Friedmann's erudite study sheds light not only on medieval attitudes, but also on the approach of some radical Islamic movements today.
