Interesting compilation of things that offend the Muslims. And it is not just that \u201cI dont like this, but you do, so be it\u201d type of a deal. It is like \u201cYou like this, I dont, so I will not let you live peacefully with it\u201d kinda thing! Like in one of the \u201cdebates\u201d or discussions between Zakir Naik and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar<\/a>, Zakir mentions that if Hindus take God to be a One entity, that is fine.. but he has strong objections when the Hindus create many \u201cGods\u201d and worship. Now, he is talking in an seminar for bringing \u201ctogether\u201d the two communities and then talking of how he objects to someone else\u2019s practice instead of trying to understanding it. The thing is pretty simple, if he has objection to what I do in MY home.. then I have an objection to HIS \u201cobjection\u201d. For, in my eyes, I have an objection to everything that he stands for! So, where does that take us?<\/p>\n

Tolerance is a negative term \u2013 conveying \u201cI don\u2019t like you, but will still tolerate you\u201d \u2013 but it is still one that leads to let others live with their own idiosyncracies.
