“For the Left, tolerance does not mean tolerance. It means first, acceptance. And second, celebration.

“If I were a person of color in Florida, I would pick up a brick and start walking toward that courthouse in Sanford.

Tolerance implies more than saying, "Well, let the Muslims go on with what they are doing." It also means trying to learn something from them and adding that to your own tradition.
