That is very true no doubt.
But be care full, that does not means Islam tolerates abusing or any kind of oppression to others, Islam then advises to go for jihad at that point. Because God Almighty is just and God do not want any weaker one to suffer from stronger ones, because they are stronger and they can do what aver they want. Absolutely not.
At this point Religion suggests Jihad. Yes there are different stages in Jihad, That will take time and space, may be some other time I will discuss that topic.
I think I also addressed notes of 1st answerer (Liesel), and 6th.answerer ( Robert P. ).
Peace and Blessings of Almighty on all of us.

Sounds like it's saying to tolerate the foolish/ignorant by ignoring them.
Liesel.
EDIT: Btw, that is just an honest answer, I don't know that much about Islam, nor am I bashing it with my response.

YES!
Tolerance is preached and practiced by Muslims.
