Below I am giving my response to the article “Letter writer should back up tolerance claim” which was a response to my original letter regarding the ideal of freedom of speech to Muslims. This response asked for verses from the Quran that uphold this ideal. Below are several.
1. [2:257] There should be no compulsion in religion. Surely, right has become distinct from wrong; so whosoever refuses to be led by those who transgress, and believes in Allah, has surely grasped a strong handle which knows no breaking. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
2. [6:105] Proofs have indeed come to you from your Lord; so whoever sees, it is for his own good; and whoever becomes blind, it is to his own harm. And I am not a guardian over you.
