Question

Why did Jews and Christians experience religious tolerance from Muslim leaders? Muslim caliphs believed that freedom of worship resulted in a stronger empire. Jews and Christians also practiced the five pillars of Islam. Muslims believe they share the same god as Jews and Christians Muslim caliphs understood that working with Jews and Christians would increase trade

Answer 1

Well, the answer is kind of in what you just shared here. They would increase trade, and believed in religious tolerance/ Freedom of worship not just from a religious/moral standpoint but also that it resulted in a stronger empire, more allies. I'm sure the Muslim community suffered a lot of judgment and so that is a factor helping them to be more loving and accepting and to not be better than how people treat them. 

Answer 2

Muslims believe they share the same god as Jews and Christians
