Islamic Tolerance and Islamic Compatibility with Science

Islam's compatibility with science is not surprising, as generally Islam is a pretty tolerant religion. During its initial spread and conquer of the rest of the Near East, Islam allowed those that they conquered to more or less continue with their lives, which included continuing to practice religions other than Islam. Similarly, with science and its progression, rather than denying it and forcing it away, Muslims incorporated it into their religion, community, and every day lives.
