Law & Liberty: An Islamic Case for Religious Tolerance | Dr. Jonathan Brown
Channel: Muslim Community Center - MCC East Bay

Dr. Jonathan Brown gives spiritual and practical historical insights about a tolerance in Islam particularly about early Muslim jurists that is an anathema to the religious provincialism and injustice today. 

Dr. Brown said this level of toleration extended to the Sati practice among the elite Hindu Rajput clans in western India where an Islamic ruler granted permission for a widow to sacrifice herself by sitting atop her deceased husband's funeral pyre.
