Muslims Compared with Byzantines


How did the Muslim policy of ruling conquered peoples compare with that of the Byzantines and Persians?

Though the three empires of Muslim Empire, Byzantine Empire and Persian Empire hold to be comparable and also able to contrast, they all hold their own uniqueness in different ways. For example, the Muslim Empire openly welcomed many different societies of religions, which led them to have a diverse society of culture. It also helped them grow more populous, while many scholars, in favor of the religious freedom, came to the Muslim Empire to conduct their studies. However, the Byzantine and Persian Empires differed in their way of governing their society, For Instance, the Byzantine Empire only allowed Christianity, or Christian-related religions, but still gave Christians a much better citizenship. This had, however, given a much more common culture in which had regulated the life all over the Byzantine Empire. With this, the Byzantine Empire became much easier to govern through religion. Though they had contrasting ways of governing, there were still some positive effects that gave the empires their way in which they are unique, through the insights of their comparisons.

Your essay had very good and vivid information. Nice vocabulary, too! But some statements were a little repetitive and hard to understand.
Enough criticism.

As for the information, your essay really made the fact that the Muslim Empire let people believe in any religion and the Byzantine and Persian Empires were less understanding of other religions clear.

Aweeeeeeeeeeeesome.
