Actually, in its purest form, Islam is incredibly tolerant. That makes what's going on in the world really bizarre.

The best religion is the most tolerant.

We are being challenged by Islam these years. There are some things for which one should display no tolerance. And when we are tolerant, we must know whether it is because of convenience or conviction.

All too many Muslims fail to grasp Islam, which teaches one to be lenient towards others and to understand their value systems, knowing that these are tolerated by Islam as a religion.

Ever since the Crusades, when Christians from western Europe were fighting holy wars against Muslims in the near east, western people have often perceived Islam as a violent and intolerant faith - even though when this prejudice took root Islam had a better record of tolerance than Christianity.

In the history of the prophetic biblical canon that starts with Genesis, the Koran is by far the most tolerant of the views of other religions.

I was a Muslim once, remember, and it was when I was most devout that I was most full of hate.

Moderation is part of faith, so those who accuse Muslim schools of fostering fanaticism should learn a bit more about Islam.

I saw Islam as the correct way to live, and I chose to try to live that way.

Anyone can be tolerant of those who are tolerant.
