This paper explores the Islamic ideals of peace and dissent through the text of the Holy Quran. Prevailing Western talks about Islam portray the Islamic religion as being nontolerant of different beliefs.

The instances of contemporary Islamic strict ideas and social practices that encapsulate these positive standards show that this is not only a chronologically erroneous interpretation of the group but a functioning living Islamic practice.
