If you have a point of view please let us know  |
Well FD , it might be because Muslims faced too much abuse since the start of Islam , and all through the ages Islam faced all kind of hatered ...
anyways , read this quoted comment :
What is tolerance? Literally the word "tolerance" means "to bear." As a concept it means "respect, acceptance and appreciation of the rich diversity of the world’s cultures, forms of expression and ways of being human." In Arabic it is called
"tasamuh". There are also other words that give similar meanings, such as
"Hilm" (forbearance) or "'
`afu" (pardon, forgiveness) or "
safh" (overlooking, disregarding). In the Persian and Urdu languages, we use the word "
rawadari" which comes from "
rawa" meaning "acceptable or bearable" and "
dashtan" meaning "to hold". Thus it means to hold something acceptable or bearable.
Tolerance is a basic principle of Islam. It is a religious moral duty.
Tolerance comes from our recognition of:
1. the dignity of the human beings,
2. the basic equality of all human beings,
3. universal human rights, and
4. fundamental freedom of thought, conscience and belief.
The Qur'an speaks about the basic dignity of all human beings. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke about the equality of all human beings, regardless of their race, color, language or ethnic background. Shari`ah recognizes the rights of all people to life, property, family, honor and conscience.
Islam may tolerate anything, but it teaches zero tolerance for injustice, oppression, and violation of the rights of other human beings.
Islam teaches tolerance on all levels.
