Is tolerating followers of a religion that teaches Supermacy and intolerance is right?

Question

I have heard the argument of some westerners who tell us to tolerate some religious Muslims who teach intolerance, supremacy of their religion, and sending all kind of Islamic missionaries, so Islamic population on the rise in western countries, while Christian and non-Muslim missionaries got banned, slaughtered and tortured all over the Islamic countries, without real condemnations and protest from these religious Muslims who living in the west.

Is that right thing to do? tolerating the intolerance? or assimilating the intolerants?

By the way, please don't argue whether there is intolerance or not by some Muslims, I don't mean the secular Muslims, I obviously referring to those religious strict ones who has significant population.

This is just question about whether to tolerate or assimilate, and whether tolerating the intolerance is good, and how you can explain that?

Answer 1

The same thing happens with the Christian fundamentalists and I tolerate them. They teach intolerance for other beliefs, they believe that their religion is superior (you must be saved or are going to Hell) and they send missionaries all over as well as witness to people they meet everyday.

Answer 2

The question is an Ethical dilemma for sure. The problem of assimilation is whether or not it is forced of offered and accepted. Tolerating a religion or belief that claims Supremacy is not the same as allowing it to occur. You can tolerate killing if it is for a moral purpose (euthanizing an injured and suffering animal for instance) but it is not the same as pulling the trigger.

I had a similar discussion with a Military Chaplain. He claimed that we must go over and fight and kill because of the 'threat posed to us,' My response was you may threaten me all you like, but it is when you swing that my tolerance becomes self defense.

People should be allowed to believe in whatever way they believe. When that belief becomes aggression and harms people, to allow it to happen (emphasis on HAPPEN) is negative.

When someone attacks another person, there is an ethical breakdown within that person. To injure that person who is having the ethical breakdown would be wrong for that person is not in control of them self. I have adopted the phrase, "I love you too much to allow you to hurt me or others..." and incorporated it into my beliefs. I try to find Ethical ways to neutralize an attack without hurting my opponent or infringe upon their beliefs. It is difficult at times, but its how I am.

Answer 3

A classic tension.
To offer tolerance to an intolerant religion appears to condone it, and does nothing to stop extremism spreading.
(The mechanics of bullying are well known).

But to adopt the sort of stance on intolerance that one despises... The danger is of becoming a mirror image of that which is detested.
"We demand that you become a liberal democracy."
is a position neither liberal nor democratic.

Assimilate and seduce by being better, happier, than the intolerant extremists. And, while not ignoring the illegal and the violent but assigning appropriate resources (military, intelligence...) to them, give them an absolute minimum of attention. They don't deserve the publicity and media attention that encourages them.

Answer 4

While writing question be real and practical. Where in the world people are only slaughtered or tortured for being a non-muslim or christian preacher. Perhaps christian are more free in muslim countries than christian countries. See Egypt, Syria, Pakistan where christian have their churches always in the centre of city and never attacked.

When u express you narrow feelings just express with reason!!!

Answer 5

each faith is attempting to transform you because of fact God gave us all unfastened will to % Him or reject Him. How do you realize what's the excellent ingredient to in trouble-free terms do? we've been given the ten Commandments via God to nicely known how He expects us to act. in case you do no longer have confidence in God why obey regulations He set down or do what He says is solid? i'm no longer telling you what to have confidence or to no longer have confidence yet just to evaluate the place all the understanding of solid and evil comes from. i'm a Christian and that i do no longer think of i'm any further suitable only forgiven. i'm not extra suitable and a few day i will respond to for my sins only as all of us will in trouble-free terms my lawyer would be Jesus and he will say Father this one is mine. the difference would be my sins have been erased under no circumstances to be added to gentle back because of fact of God's unfastened present of salvation which I commonly used some years in the past. I nonetheless sin and could desire to daily repent and ask forgiveness and mercy and power to prevail over my sins. i'm in trouble-free terms threatened with like to obey God.

Answer 6

No it's not. Doing what we can to stamp out their belief system is probably the best thing to do.

Although we could just wait and let their religion die a natural death as Christianity is doing right now.

Answer 7

We are to tolerate those who can't tolerate us until Christ comes again. Patience is a virtue, but in the end, they're going to Hell, at least the ones who can't tolerate anyone else.

Answer 8

Since the majority of muslims don't have their own tv channel how are we supposed to denounce something we have never supported?

Answer 9

+PAX

No, we shouldn't tolerate it. It is a false religion, one that we are fighting a war against at the moment.
