“Islam should be tolerant of other religions”

I disagree. The sticker implies that all religions, including Islam, should be accepted exactly as they are.

For Islam to be tolerant of other religions, it would have to reform, and the door to that path was slammed shut centuries ago (google “ijtihad”).

I prefer, “Coexist while maintaining superior firepower”.

Far less naive, JMHO.

Acceptance is tolerance. Acceptance is showing respect for the rights or opinions or practices of others that differ from yours. That doesn't mean you need adopt the practices that you tolerant.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. – Aristotle
