A--Islamic tolerance and Christian conversion were how the two empires addressed religions during empire building.

The Islamic empires often used systems of tolerance allowing for multiple religions to exist in their empire. At times, they would impose taxes on differing religions but rarely were people forced to give up their religion. For Christians, conversion was important. As they built empires in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, native peoples were forced to convert to Christian religions.
