Can Islam and tolerance for non-islamic ideals co-exist?

Answer 1

eeerrrrr.........No?!!! I think!?

Answer 2

Of course. There are already Muslims living in America and they are learning to balance their Islamic values with America's values.
Do you see how Muslim women are westernizing their clothes and adhering to the rules at the same time?

There are around 1.2. billion Muslims in this world. If you think then you would realize that the majority of Muslims that are non-tolerant come out of the Middle East where the U.S. has been meddling with. See any connection there?

There are more peaceful Muslims then there are terrorists.
You only think that there are more terrorists, because that is all that you see on t.v.

There is nothing wrong with Islam itself. It is some of the followers that are causing problems. Islam doesn't promote terrorism and terrorism is considered a sin in Islam, because killing is a sin. Killing is only acceptable in Islam when in self defense, such as war.


American media: Give yourself a pat on the back. You have succeded in making Americans believe that 1.2. billion people are terrorists and that Islam is an evil religion.

Answer 3

NO. I was brought up as a roman catholic. We were taught from an early age that to kill was a mortal sin and one would not see the face of god after your death.

Now Islam condones murder - does that make the person or the faith evil?? whilst a religion, if you can call Islam that under these circumstances, condones murder it could never co-exist with decent values and should therefore be considered to be evil so not a proper religion.

Answer 4

madaracake is correct but I'd add that Islam, like Christianity and Judaism is based upon scriptures and teachings that are over a thousand years old. The core of these are tolerant and when the political issues are settled, more Muslims and Christians will return to the center.

Answer 5

Not according to those studying Islam. In short the they are taught to convert non believers or kill them. Look at how tolerant islamic states are with other religions!!

Wake up and smell the coffee. Muslims have more children than others in the UK and, with immigration, are now the largest groups in many parts of London.

The local mullahs tell the men to have as many children as possible (after all many are subsidised by the state) whereas other groups have seen a decline in numbers due to survival rates improving and economic factors.

This system of outproducing other races was used by Hitler although of course I do not say they behave in the same way as nazis. However, it will soon cause unrest and the inevitible explosion will occur thoughout europe as its not just the UK this is happening to.

The aim of Islam is to have europe run under their own laws and systems and that has been the case for centuries. Its pure history !!!

Answer 6

Yes, absolutely. It very much depends on the individual but most western Muslims are tolerant (sorry, I don't know any others) of other faiths and cultures. It's only a handful that aren't. I would argue that this is true of any religion - Christianity and Judaism have sects and individuals that are insular and intolerant of other faiths and ideals too.

Answer 7

Islam is peace full, it's about moderation and tolerance. There are no compulsion for non believer to follow Islamic ideals. As long as both ideals are meant for the good of everybody, never meant to harm anybody, definitely they can co-exist.
In fact a verse in Quran clearly stated about this - in short it read" you believe what you believe, i believe what I believe" there are no compulsion.

Answer 8

Islamic people who live in this country must tolerate other religions as others tolerate the islamic faith. Plain and simple, I say this as this would represent respect for other religions. For any faith to live in harmony with one another there must be tolerance and respect for one another regardless of their beliefs.

Answer 9

Yes and no, as with all groups you have different extremes within the group. Muslims live side by side, Christians, Hindu's and atheists, etc. all over the world, I live next door to a lovely muslim family. The problem lies with the extreme elements who take it all a bit too far. Is the basic simplistic viewpoint.

I think you have asked an essay question, you could actually do a dissertation on this subject. I think this is one for Samuel P Huntington and his book "The Clash of Civiliazations"

Answer 10

Yes!!! There are numerous Islamic people that are very tolerant of other religions.
Please don't think the these terrorist represent the Islamic religion. They are simply Mentally disturbed and murderers. They have twisted the Islamic religion so bad for there own personal hate. They even show how much of a hypocritical group they are, because they even kill there own people.

Answer 11

i will see which you individually are slightly bit 'illiberal' and attempting annoying to malign Islam and its followers - Muslims. in the experience that your 'sermons' have been remarkable then there might have been bloodshed in the final 50 years orchestrated with the aid of the Muslims, as in step with your allegations that Quraan incites hatred etc. Please use your strategies and means to be certain the sunshine, and not darkish and attempt to foster goodwill between the persons of the international, quite spreading hatreds. you may supply up for a at the same time as and bypass returned to each and all of the Questions you have published and solutions you have given and notice in case you want you infants to have comparable physique of strategies which you're having? in case you experience that that's symptom to 3 style of character affliction (sorry for this analysis, and whether it isn't the case) then you definately might seek for suggestion from suited professionals and get a greater effective existence than what you seems to be maximum suitable now. that's no longer a shaggy dog tale or sarcastic assertion, yet may well be sturdy for different purchasers of R&S who gave this communicate board a bad call. desire you're unlikely to unharness your ‘expertise’ to bash me now (lol)
