Identify and compare the status of religious minorities within the three islamic empires. which empire faced the greatest challenges in this regard?

The three major Islamic Empires: Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal all dealt with religious minorities as they were conquering empires during the 1400 and 1500s. In the Ottoman Empire there were Jews and Christians present both of which were offered religious toleration but were often taxed higher and limited in their rights to certain careers in particular the military. In the Safavid Empire, the biggest issue was between Shi'a and Sunni Muslim factions. The Safavid were Shi'a and generally a minority between the two groups in the empires' conquered areas. The Safavid Empire also practice religious toleration of other faiths in particular Hindus and Buddhists in the far eastern reaches of their empire. Lastly, the Mughals who conquered a dominantly Hindu India were incredibly tolerant as they were vastly outnumbered. Again Hindus were limited in job opportunities but were allowed to continue practice. Eventually there will be a blending of faiths to occur in this empire as Hinduism, Islam, and even Buddhism find ways to exist together.
