"Therefore, if something is in accordance to sharia, we tolerate it; if it outside the sharia, we can not tolerate it."

That's the most self-contradictory usage of the word "tolerance" i've ever seen.

the word tolerance on its own is redundant anyway, everyone is selectively tolerant as an example i would not tolerate another Holocaust.

thers no real question people should all do what is most reasonable and inacordence with the benefit of the majority of people. the fundimental problem with religoin is that it contains ways to live your life that are not backe dup with facts ore scince , due to religoins dogmatic nature.

Love it. 1 minute 40 seconds in, he honestly answers the question: Islam is not tolerant of anything that goes against what Islam requires of its followers. So, it's not a tolerant religion. Case closed. But, I guess the video goes on from there, so I will go unpause it.

Ack, and I unpause and all the apologetics begin...

However, I do have to admit, I liked what the one person said: A religion has to adapt to the times, or it will die out. If religions actually embraced that idea, I wouldn't be so opposed to them.

Just a note, Mohammad was the only prophet in history to personally kill and wage wars in the name of his own religion! All other prophets can claim that their words were twisted and misused to wage wars, but Mohammad's followers can't.
