One Rule to Rule them ALL. The Muslims.


Question: How did the Muslim policy if ruling compare with that of the Byzantines and Persians?

My belief was that the Muslims had a superior rule over the Byzantine and Persian empires. The way they allowed people to believe in their own religions, such as Christians and Buddhists. This allowed many people to live and flourish in the empire, whilst also making friends, not enemies. The fact that they allowed free religion showed a peaceful bond between all people, and a more of a calm empire than a tyrannous one.
Another trait that helped them flourish was the fact they were centered on trade, which allowed them to flourish with the items and goods they gained. Also, they were a religious empire, so not many people dared to attack such a calm empire.
All of this lead to the Muslims being a more effective empire.
