Now let's read about the tolerance shown to the unIslamic cults and sects by Ottoman Millet system which was derived by the laws of Our Master Caliph Umar Al Farooq: "The tolerance shown to foreign beliefs and hostile faiths by the Ottoman law and Ottoman officials which enabled them to establish their own religious institutions and to shape their own education was such that the thousand year old Liberty reigning in France in the field of sects and beliefs, dating from the times of the ancient Gaul (Western Europe during 5th to 1st BC), couldn't be compared with it."
