Can Islam co exist with non Muslims

U simply asked a question just to remind u of the original topic. Does Islam co exist with other religions. Our source to asnwer this is the Quran, regardless the fact that u don't take it in consideration. But to tell u how Islam regulates relation with other religions, we must give u this from the Quran which is the manual. Right. so now u don't like it and want me to talk out of my head. I think as for being a Muslimah I must not apply my own rules but rather Allah's and to tell a non Muslim I must also do the same.</b>

Ok

OH I am still here, lurking in the background

So, you seem to explicity avoid the issue on Wahabbism (spelling). In reality, I know that the Qu'ran says to tolerate other religions, but it is contradictory to the culture I see of Islam in treatment to non muslims and apostates. If Islam truly was as tolerant as the Qu'ran would like and praches, then why so much conflict in the regions of Asia with Hindus, Sihks, christians etc ? Why so much conflict between Sunni's and Shiites ? If these two versions of Islam cannot live side by side, what chance the rest of Islam ? This is something you can reply to yourself surely ?
