is islam compatable with western pluralism

[sayfulaah-almasluul]

to many western seems they consider islam as old culture that can't go along with the so called the openess or pluralism of western society,is that true?to me islam is very open and peace religioun that wellcomes everything Good'no matter where or who practice that goodnes.in a hadith prophet p.b.u.h. said (the wisdon or knowledge is muslims's lost he takes wherever he find it)which means muslim can practice any good cultures as long it doesn't contradict islamic teachings.

can other religiouns co-exist with islam?

anyone who study the history of prophet mohamed(p.b.u.h.)can clearly say yes islam can co-exist iwth all religiouns.for instance prophet(p.bu.h.)did stated that in his first treaty in madina(sahiiftul madina)in this treaty he gave all jews and christain the right to live and practice their religioun,furthermore he recongnised all the poeple in madina as one nation including jews and christain,

it was only after they declared on upon him that he took the decison to remove them from madina and khybar.many wrongly believe that islam is religioun of swords and fight,religioune of violant.is that true?is jihad for conquest of land or expansion of tritory?when jihad can be conducted? can anyone do it?what is the condition for jihad?these are some of the questions we need to accurately answer.to me i beleive islam is not religioune of sword rather is is religooun of peace,religone that calls for love between humanty regardless of race,culture or even class.it is the religione that had in past brothered ali binu abii talib an arab and bilaal a ethiopina or somali,islam disaprove violence, jihad is not for conquest of land but rather defence purposes,there two main condition for jihad:

1- if one country refuse islam to be spread in it's society then the imaam of muslim has right to give sharp warning to the leader of that particular country.

2- if any power invade muslim country or part of muslim country the it is the duty of muslim leader to decalre jihad. in both case jihad is for defence purpose.
