Tolerance is the disposition to tolerate beliefs, practices, habits and people of appearances differing from our own. Tolerance means understanding the importance of these differences in our viewpoints, lifestyles and customs. We do not have to agree with everything we see, hear or read. However, we should be able to listen to other people who ideas may not agree with our own. To be tolerant does not mean we take on the beliefs and attitudes of others, it just permits us to look at things differently and not judge.

Beautifully said. I think that this is one of the many problems that we have going on in this world. It is one of the main reason why we are at war now and why we will always be at war. People do not have tolerance for other people's beliefs or their right to have those beliefs. Just because you do not agree with something a person believes it does not give you the right to shun this person or slander their name.
