Qing diversity compared to Islamic Empires diversity

Like the Islamic empires, the Qing encountered diversity throughout their empire. When the Qing took over China, they did not allow the Chinese to intermarry with people of their own ethnicity. They wanted to keep their ethnicity "pure". 

In order to rule as inexpensively as possible, the Chinese allowed people of different ethnic backgrounds with a high social ranking be leaders throughout the region. Like the Savafids, they allowed people of different ethnicities to govern small regions of the empire. However, the Qing allowed for religious diversity. People like Mongol aristocrats, Muslim officials, Buddist leaders, and other high status people were allowed to govern certain regions. However, certain people took advantage the power, and demanded extra taxes or extra labor from local people, turning them against him/her. 

The Qing were tolerant of religious diversity. They allowed people to practice whatever religion they believed in. Unlike the Mughals, they did not create a religion combining popular religions of the time. Like the Ottomans, the Qing were tolerant in ethnicity and religion. One difference was that there was no extra tax for being a certain religion. In general, the Qing did not try to force Chinese culture onto the people of Tibet, Xiniang, or Mongolia. In fact, they did not allow Cinese merchants or other immigrants into Mongolia, because they wanted to keep the spirited Mongols for military recruitment. They feared that the "soft" Chinese would contaminate the fighting spirited Mongols, making for a less brutal army.

In many cases, the Qing isolated the diverse populations. First themselves, then the Mongols, to keep them separate from the rest of the Chinese.
