Document Summary
To contemporary ears and eyes the pact of omar might seem strange and even cruel. However, in its time it was considered generous and liberating by the dhimmi. The last part of q 2 hinges on the part just before it. How does the pact reflect the way that. Once you have answered this, you will be able to see what halevi is doing with the kuzari. The study notes for lesson 7 should be helpful here. The pact of omar is a treaty between the muslims and christians of jerusalem. This document lays out a full list of limitations, restrictions and measures on christians and. Jews, in exchange for their safety, the safety of their property, and their religious freedom. After the rapid expansion of the muslim dominion in the 7th century, muslims leaders worked out a way of dealing with non-muslims, who remained in the majority in many areas for centuries.
