“Religiously, the Ottomans were very tolerant. The Ottomans were Sunni Muslims- followers of Islam. Taking the Qur’an to heart, Christians and Jews were considered people of the book and were highly respected, or at least tolerated.”

The Ottoman Empire was controlled by Sunni Muslims, while the Safavid Empire was ruled by Shia Muslims.
