Religious wars are not caused by the fact that there is more than one religion but by the spirit of intolerance... the spread of which can only be regarded as the total eclipse of human reason.
Let me say this loud and clear. There is a world of difference between terrorist acts and the Islamic Shari'a. Islam is not only a religion but a way of life. And at its heart lie the sacred principles of tolerance and dialogue.
More and more people care about religious tolerance as fewer and fewer care about religion.
The enemy is not just terrorism. It is the threat posed specifically by Islamist terrorism by Bin Ladin and others who draw on a long tradition of extreme intolerance within a minority strain of Islam that does not distinguish politics from religion and distorts both.
In a multi-racial society trust understanding and tolerance are the cornerstones of peace and order.
Not just Christians and Jews but also Muslims Buddhists Hindus and the followers of many other religions believe in values like peace respect tolerance and dignity. These are values that bring people together and enable us to build responsible and solid communities.
It is thus tolerance that is the source of peace and intolerance that is the source of disorder and squabbling.
Islam teaches tolerance not hatred universal brotherhood not enmity peace and not violence.
Tolerance compromise understanding acceptance patience - I want those all to be very sharp tools in my shed.
What is tolerance? It is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly - that is the first law of nature.
