Question

It can be said that one of the greatest contributions of the Moors was religious tolerance. Do you believe that is true? If so, why is it then that some people view Muslim culture to be a culture of intolerance?

Answer 1

Consider that Christians consider themselves peace-loving. Yet how many religious wars have been fought, notably the Crusades, but many others including the Spanish inquisition.

I suggest you browse through some of these sites.
