The reverse cover of this monograph states that ‘[t]hrough compelling historical illustration and careful theological exposition, [it] mounts a concise but irrefutable argument that the Islamic faith is inherently and emphatically tolerant by nature and disposition.' To that end, the work consists of an introduction, entitled ‘The Trajectory of Tolerance', and two parts. The first part, entitled ‘A Glance at the Historical Record', looks at examples of tolerance in the rulership of the Ottomans, the Mughals, the Fatimids, the Umayyads of Cordoba, and then the real status of ‘Protected Minorities' or dhimmis, under those rulerships. Part Two, entitled ‘The Spirit of Tolerance', moves on to the cosmological and theoretical aspects of tolerance within Islam itself. This part consists of six sections, entitled ‘Tolerance and Revealed Knowledge'; ‘Confirmation and Protection'; ‘Plurality of Faiths'; ‘Healthy Competition'; ‘Inevitability of Difference', and ‘The Prophetic Paradigm: Compassionate Forbearance'. An epilogue concludes the discussion. While the outline sounds promising, however, one issue remains, and that is whether the arguments put forth in the work are sufficient for demonstrating the point that Shah-Kazemi wishes to make.
