Andrew Magnusson provides an insightful narrative of the relationship between the Zoroastrian population of the former Sasanian Empire and that of the new Muslim Caliphate who became their master in the seventh century CE. He wonderfully demonstrates that the early Muslims position toward the Zoroastrians was much more nuanced and moves beyond the old binary of "tolerance" and "intolerance," in describing their relationship. Magnusson suggests that the early Muslims by necessity accommodated the Zoroastrian community by giving them their own space and privileges.

Synopsis
The second Muslim caliph, Umar ibn al-Khattab, once reportedly exclaimed, 'I do not know how to treat Zoroastrians!' He and other Muslims encountered Zoroastrians during the conquest of Arabia but struggled to formulate a consistent policy toward the adherents of a religion that was neither biblical nor polytheistic. Some Muslims saw Zoroastrians as pagans and sought to limit interaction with them. Others found ways to incorporate them within the empire of Islamic law. Andrew D. Magnusson describes the struggle between advocates of inclusion and exclusion, the ultimate accommodation of Zoroastrians, and the reasons that Muslim historians have subsequently buried the memory of this relationship., Examines debates about the inclusion or exclusion of Zoroastrians in Islamic society circa 600-1000 C.E.

- m***a (267)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseThe book was in exactly the condition described in the listing. I generally don’t buy books that only have one photo.It was shipped quickly. The book arrived via Amazon box truck and was in Amazon packaging, so I assume this seller also lists books on Amazon. I wish I had known this as I am trying to not shop Amazon. I just think other buyers might want to know this. Still, the book was packed with care in a bubble envelope. Shipping costs were reasonable, but there was no tracking available.The Anne of Green Gables Cookbook by Macdonald (#187076052775)
