A mong many Sects and Religious Groups that were established in AEurope and England in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries af-ter the Reformation and the Raise of the Protestant Church, The Religious Society of Friends, or The Quakers, occupied a large space of debates, and the matter went to an organized operations of Violence and abuse in the Old and New Worlds, due to the principles formulated by the founder of the denomination George Fox, which were considered by many to be too extreme, and a threat to their deeply held Christian values.

Because of their Unique Teachings that do not meet with the rest of the other Protestant sects, during their long history Quakers have been sub- jected to fierce campaigns of exclusion and targeting, whether in England in which they grew up or in the British Colonies in North America, where the sect's followers, women and men, fled in search of a safe refuge.

The Era of Reformation was the beginning of a new stage of deep un- derstanding of Religion, in isolation from the influence of the Old Church, and all the traditional forms of formulas and rituals of worship.

It refused to be recognized as an official church of the country, so the founder of the sect and his followers chose to embrace human thought as a means of Salvation, away from ecclesiastical hypocrisy and political violence.

He adopted teachings that, from his point of view, corrected the confused concepts of faith.

The Quakers group considers itself a Puritan Protestant Christian, who believes in self-experience, as a true source of awareness of the Inner Light which mean the Holy Spirit, which is based on continuous and unin-terrupted revelation.

Despite the peaceful approach of its followers, they faced rejection from the political and religious authorities in the King- dom, and the spirit of persecution pursued them to America, and many considered as heretics, and they had to face these challenges with great patience and steadfastness, before they succeeded in establishing and building the first harmonious and prosperous society, blessed with the spirit of Religious Tolerance and Peaceful coexistence, whose teachings are widely recognized.
