| Summary: | The negative perception of non-Muslims by many Qur'?nic commentators is often contradicted by the social and political reality that has existed in Muslim communities almost from Prophetic times up to the present, thereby confirming the greater accuracy of rationalistic and intellectual appraisals. This observation is also valid for populations other than Christians and Jews who constitute the thrust of this survey. While fluctuation in inter-religious relations could be attributed to mainly material factors, the global picture has been fairly healthy. This reality remains largely valid even today when threats of extremism loom large. |
