Certainly definition 2a is the one with which I am primarily concerned. Our own beliefs and practices are formed by living in our own bodies, with our own families and friends, in our own locale. People living in other circumstances, stating with our own siblings and parents, are to be expected to have different beliefs and practices d preferences of all kinds. Please note that there is no specification in these definitions for anyone to e e another. The alternative to toleration is conflict.
Conflicts come in many sizes from a display of annoyance to war.
It is as much a part of the true character of Islam, as it is of all the religions of the world. This may be true of some religions. If you really want to confuse definitions and equate toleration with love, the author in News uld be correct. In that case we diminish the language somewhat. I'd love, not tolerate, your comments.
