Modern society is interdependent, but at the same time it is conflicting. International norms and modern living standards require people to respect each other, to respect another culture, language, religion, nation and all other differences. Unfortunately, we have many examples of intolerant relationships in the modern world. There are some definitions of tolerance, but it is important that we also say what is tolerance in our opinion?
I destroy my enemies in ways that I turn them into friends.
Abraham Lincoln
This is the definition of tolerance found in the vast majority of modern dictionaries : "a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, beliefs, practices, racial or ethnic origins, etc., differ from one's own; freedom from bigotry. "
"What is tolerance? It is a necessary consequence of humanity. We are all fallible, let us then pardon each other's follies. This is the first principle of natural right".
(Voltaire)
"I do not agree with what you think, but I will fully defend your right to say what you think."
Voltaire
"Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population."
Einstein
It is arrogant. "A prince ought not to deem it beneath his dignity to state that he considers it his duty not to dictate anything to his subjects in religious matters, but to leave them complete freedom. If he repudiates the arrogant word "tolerant", he is himself enlightened; he deserves to be praised by a grateful world and posterity as that man who was the first to liberate mankind from dependence, at least on the government, and let everybody use his own reason in matters of conscience." - Immanuel Kant, "What is Enlightenment?"

If I accept the intolerance upto a level which does not hurt my conscience
it's tolerance.
Tolerance is thinking from heart, while keeping all prejudices, biases, hatred, discrimination, racism, and intolerance aside, and dealing all living beings with sensitivity, kindness and positive regard.
Tolerance is a theoretical and practical attitude (behavior) that involves the respect (not acceptance) of beliefs, opinions, traditions, customs, etc. of other people about: religion, sex, politics, ethics, science, art, literature, etc.
“It's an universal law-- intolerance is the first sign of an inadequate education. An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience, whereas truly profound education breeds humility.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
“Tolerance isn't about not having beliefs. It's about how your beliefs lead you to treat people who disagree with you.” ― Timothy Keller
It is a personality that constraint a person from taking quick adverse actions.
If we believe in God and believe that God Loves all human beings the same way. If finally we believe that God will punish those who hurt any of His creatures; either we love people because we have a good heart or; at least; not to hurt them because of fear from God.
Who believes in this anymore?
I believe this is the Truth.
"Live and let live" is a simplified way of looking at tolerance. It is the ability to respect views, opinions, life styles, faiths, etc. of others and not judge them. It does not mean you embrace someone else's ideals, dogmas or principles. A rough way to assess how tolerant one is may be achieved by looking at the Bogardus Scale of Social Distance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogardus_social_distance_scale which is just one aspect
In modern France it not exist of living standards require people to respect each and, the more important to respect another opinion!!! and if we have not the some as you président - it existe the exile in Anglettere or Belgique
In short...tolerance means accepting the differences in the way people live their lives.

The Qur'an says: "Those who said that" our god "is the only God, and they persevere in this belief, they are not anxious from the future, nor do they feel sorry for the past" (Surah al-Ahqaf)
Patience is a source of spiritual health
Individuals with spiritual health believe that the world is guided by God, so they wait.
They believe in the kindness, wisdom and power of God and consider the events of life as divine test.
Therefore, in the view of Abrahamic religions, "patience" is one of the most important pillars of faith.
Imam Ali (AS) finds the position of patience with our affairs, like the position of the head towards the body.
The Qur'an has about seventy verses about patience
Types of patience in Islam:
1. Patience on the faces of obedience to God.
2. Patience and resistance to the motives of doing sins
3. Patience and sustainability against the bitter and sad events of life
The Qur'an has given a lot of rewards to "patient people"
The key to entering Paradise is patience and endurance

Dear friends,
Speaking of the Islamic attitude towards tolerance, then the question arises: is there any principle of "tolerance" in Islam?
The answer is: there is no principle of tolerance in Islam.
Why is this question and such an Islamic answer about tolerance?
Because, by definition: tolerance means suffering. Is the intention of Islam - suffering?
Of course not. Because one of the main Islamic principles is: make it easy and not aggravate (Yessiruu, wa la tuassiruu).
So, if there is no tolerance in Islam, then what is it?
The answer is: Islam has the respect of the rights of all God's creatures. It is a stronger principle of tolerance. For, the believer does not tolerate anything here, but executes God's command.
So, God created creatures, and gave each one the rights. Believers as sensible beings respect this provision of God and it is not difficult for them to respect her because it's a strict religious duty - fard. It will therefore have a reward with God.
Hence, the Muslim does not pose a difficulty in respecting God's provision, but it does so with pleasure and love.
Of course, such an Islamic position is not understandable in the West. Therefore, Muslims also accept the western perception of human rights, among which they find the institution of tolerance.
Regards
Dear professor
With respect
Of course, Islam does not recommend suffering.
God has created many blessings for His servants in the world to use and live happily.
God is not a creator who follows the punishment of his servants, because he loves his servants more than anyone else.
But social injustice, war, damage to natural resources and ... are caused by humans.So everyone has problems in their lives. Like a variety of diseases, war, events, and ..
"God helps the believers to endure these sufferings by believing in the kindness of God. (Patience for the hardships)
"Of course, because doing some hardships like fasting is hard, God helps the believers to endure his worship. (Patience for God's obedience)
"It is also enjoyable to do some sins, God helps the believers to endure sin (" Salvation of the desire for sin)
For this reason, Imam Ali said: Patience is a sign of faith
With Best Wishes
Asadzandi
Honorable Asadzandi,
You are right.
Everything is the way you wrote it.
But I said that Islam does not know the word - tolerance.
Islam has a better solution to tolerance, that is, respect for the rights of the truth. Islam says:
- you are in your religion, and my faith is mine,
- no compulsion in faith,
- the right path is clearly different from misconception,
- who killed one man unjustly, as if he had killed all the people,
- it is not permissible to commit injustice to members of other faiths ...
Of course, besides the Qur'an ayats, there are many hadith of Muhammad a.s. as well as other examples from the practice of hadreti Abu Bakr, Omar, Osman and Ali, and the whole history of Islam.
So, in the modern world when we communicate with Western societies, we accept the term "tolerance" which means "suffering" but we know that Islam has a better solution to human rights issues, than suffering.
Islam without suffering gives everyone his right in accordance with God's command.
God's command - fard, is not suffering, because the believer performs this command with pleasure.
That is why the term of tolerance is not adequate to Islamic understanding of human rights, but we, in communication with modern international laws, accept it, knowing that we are executing God's command, not tolerance.
Dear Professor
Greeting
Perhaps you mean tolerance as "adapting to conditions" in nursing care models. This is the name of the model of Dr. Kalista Roy. That is:"if you can not correct something, adapt yourself to it and accept the situation".
But in Islam, because we believe in the power of God in the direction of the world. And that God has a new creation in every moment .Therefore, for the believers, there is no deadlock and conditions beyond the power of God's guidance.
We just need to understand the concept of satisfaction with the fate (without believing in the existence of algebra in the universe)
With renewed respect
Asadzandi
I think tolerance is the ability that allows us to understand different criteria than ours, is the basis of the discussion, in order to develop it, we have to transcend as humans
Dear Asadzandi,
I do not understand in what sense you dislike me?
I am also a believer.
But, the topic of this discussion is about "tolerance"
Okay. Tolerance is accepted by the all civilized world. Also, analysts of Islam, such as some professors, mufessirs and muhaddits say that tolerance is not contrary to Islamic faith, even desirable.
I, too, accept tolerance as a standard in the field of human rights, interpersonal relations and interconfessional cooperation.
However, I merely point out that tolerance is not enough, and that Islamic rules are better than tolerance. An Islamic rule reads: Islam said to everyone you must give his right.
God's messenger Muhammad a.s. said:
"Indeed, there is no advantage of the Arab over the non Arab, nor the non Arabs over the Arabs, nor the white man over the blacks, nor the blacks over the whites, except for the fear of God. By law, they are all equal, whether they were dear or not to the world".
(Ibn Magge No. 2494)
I explained this position in my earlier discussions.
Is this Islamic rule not a better way of respecting human rights than tolerance?
Of course it is.
Please explain in what sense you dislike me. Why do not you accept this kind of attitude?
Regards
Dear professor

My answers to your question have been based on my research. These answers have not been my judgment about your faith. And these are scientific discussions.You are faithful to me. No one has the authority to judge any other faith except God.I have not disrespected you in my response.
With tribute
Asadzandi
Okay, dear Asadzandi,
But, you did not say anything about the issue of tolerance.
You have not said your attitude about whether the institute of tolerance, which is applied in the modern world, whether it meets the needs of a developed society, or there is a better standard.
I emphasized the Islamic standatd and I put arguments about it earlier.
So, you did not say that you prefer tolerance, which says - suffer the other, or prefer the Islamic attitude, which says - honor the battles right because God has ordered you.
It's not disputable, nor is it a topic of discussion, nor I deny the power of God - that He governs all things in heaven and on earth, and ourselves (Wa Huwa ala kulli shej 'in Qadir).
I do not think anything here is in conflict with science.
With respect.
Dear professor

Tolerance means patience with peace and hope. without loneliness and restlessness,
Hope that there is someone who sees all the problems and has the power to fix them. But he wants to see how you deal with any problem.
