Do Muslims tolerate/accept Christians?

Question

I don’t mean this to sound offensive, I’m just curious and I want to know more so I don’t wrongly assume about people.

Answer

I grew up in Muslim countries. I was tolerated as a Christian. We were only allowed one church and in order to do any kind of upkeep/repairs we needed permission. Permission from the government was hardly ever given. The church was basically falling down and we had to rotate different Christian denominations and languages to accommodate everyone. I was often treated very poorly/differently (though lots of that was due to the fact that I’m female) and had many horrible comments made to me about my faith. I certainly felt tolerated, not accepted. Tolerance is not the same as acceptance. 
That said, there were many individual Muslims that were very kind and accepting people. They respected my faith and so respect theirs. I found that as long as you weren’t Jewish you were fine. Some people weren’t kind, but not all Christians are as accepting as they should be either. The government was fairly oppressive, but I was allowed to wear a crucifix in public and go to church. So tolerance was there at least.

Answer

Ofcourse. The Quran says, "there is no compulsion in religion". It also states "for you is your religion and for me is mine" the problem with people nowadays is that they read half a sentence and act like they know it all. There have been people who are studying the religion for years and still not done with it. It's more complicated than "you are a disbeliever". Islam says, "Religion has been made clear" it's the crazy people who mess it up. My best friend is a Christian and the other is someone who worships the nature. I love them so much. Islam more than just "tolerates" any other faith. Just as taught by the Christians to treat each other well Islam spreads the same message. People are just ignorant. I grew up in an adventist school and it was great I learnt a lot about the religion, I think people just don't know enough so they read half the sentence and act upon it which in turns blames a whole community its very sad actually.

Answer

Everything Anna said is correct. Islam is very clear on our duty to respect people of all religions and none. That is not to say that all Muslim countries necessarily do this. Islam is perfect, whereas humans are not.

Answer

muslim tolerate christians not because they have diffrent religion but as long as they don’t do any thing bad to a muslim. it doesn’t matter what religion u have . we can’t push and force people to covert to islam , but itsup to the person if he or she wants to. even as a christian u can get married to a muslim and don’t need to change ur religion.

Answer

only when they are the minority. once they are the majority the make it illegal to convert away. Punishable by Death. They also but taxes and citizenship restraints on non-believers. so since the Christian is supposed to spread the Christian faith. There's no real way to be a Christian in a Muslim country without causing the death of those you convert. Or breaking the law

Answer

Yes . I’m Christian my boyfriend is Muslim. I feel that the people of his religion are more accepting to Christians than Christians are to Muslims .

Answer

Yes. They believe Jesus was a prophet. I have found nothing but respect.

Answer

And YES, Muslims tolerate all religions. We don’t agree with them necessarily but they are allowed to live peacefully in Muslim countries without bother or hassle from Muslims.  My Muslim grandmother and Aunts in the Middle East would attend church holidays out of respect for their fellow Christians.  And the same respect was also held for the Jewish people as well.  It is unfortunate what the past 50 years of Middle East demolishment and media has done.  Do not fall for this.

Answer

Of course! We accept everyone. We love everyone! It is actually bad to hate someone. We are peaceful. 😊

Answer

Yes in many counties they live side my side to each other and speak same language.  In America it’s very different between the two religions.  
Islam is more progressive and a new religion so the thinking is different.
