Religious tolerance.
0:10
Religious tolerance, in the Islamic understanding, is justice, pardoning those who deserve it when one has the power to retaliate, and fulfilling covenants.
0:21
As for the concept held by the disbelieving Jahiliyyah,
0:25
it means nullifying the doctrine of loyalty and disavowal (al-wala’ wa al-bara’), appeasing the disbelievers, ceding homelands to them, and accepting their ideologies.
0:35
It means surrendering to them and abandoning resistance and jihad against them.
0:40
This is what the disbelievers demand in the name of tolerance and peace.
0:46
They see no harm in invading Muslim lands, killing their children, seizing their resources, and altering their religion.
0:56
Among the forms of "tolerance" demanded by the disbelievers and their hypocritical lackeys is the abandonment of the policy of exclusion and hatred toward the disbelievers.
1:06
This includes the act of calling a disbeliever by the name "disbeliever," which is the name Allah has given them.
1:11
Instead, they insist on calling them "the other" or "non-Muslim."
1:15
All of this is an alteration and distortion of what Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, intended for the Muslims.
1:21
[He intended for them] to show enmity toward the enemies of Allah among the disbelievers, to refrain from taking them as allies, and to disavow them and their disbelief.
