Ibn, do you think the level of tolerance and respect for other faiths evident in the average Muslim jurisdiction is acceptable to non-Muslims? I know there is historical reference to famous Jewish and other communities which existed under different Muslim regimes in the past, but this isn't at all the contemporary practice. There were Jews living in Iran in biblical times and all sorts of prosperous communities of them in various Mediterranean enclaves at one time or another, but nowadays where can any Muslim point to a successful community of infidels tolerated in their midst?
