Muslims PWN Byzantines & Persians
How did Muslim policy of ruling conquered peoples compare with that of Byzantines and Persians:
Muslims were more tolerate of people's religion. They didnt' force people to convert unlike the Byzantines and the Persians. In my opinion, they were more sensible. Even if you forced somone to convert, they wouldn't be really converted. They may act like they believe, but inside they are still reluctant. It is just like forcing someone to like something, such as a food. Sure you can force them to eat the food, but inside, they would be revolted.The Muslims knew this, if they forced people to convert, they wouldn't be pure muslims.The only thing the Muslims could do was lead and guide them. However the coice to convert was theirs. The Byzantines and Persians just forced people to convert. If the people didnt convert, they would get killed. The Muslims were smarter than the Byzantines and Persians. Their tolerance helped them get stronger.
