Question

AP WORLD HISTORY: Identify and explain ONE way that Islam demonstrated tolerance and flexibility in ruling their vast empires.

Answer 1

Answer:

One way in which Islam demonstrated tolerance and flexibility in the conquered territories was religious freedom and cultural freedom.

Explanation:

As you may already know, the Islamic expansion was a very influential historical event and allowed the Islamic sarabes to conquer many territories and to expand over three continents, covering many nations.

However, what many do not know is that the Muslim Arabs showed great tolerance and flexibility in these territories, especially those who surrendered peacefully. This is because the Muslim Arabs allowed the conquered cities to continue with their own cultural concepts, not being obliged to adopt Arab customs. Furthermore, cities were free to continue their religions and were not obliged to convert to Islam.
