Religious Tolerance - BA English Essay

Religious Tolerance - BA English Essay

The societies throughout the world are stratified on the basis of religions. The religion is usually among the inheritance of our parents and forefathers. It is the set of beliefs and the code of conduct which drives their daily life activities. The religious tolerance means that the people in a society not only follow their own religion but also respect the others religion.

When people of different religions are inhabitants of same territory, religious tolerance plays a pivotal role in maintaining peace and harmony across the land. The world today is facing disastrous consequences of cultivating religious ethnocentrism in the previous decades. Clash of civilization is a product of this religious fanaticism. People around the world are victimized and exploited due to following their religion. ‘War on terror’ is the biggest and most heinous example of this exploitation. Few Muslim fanatics waged a war against the world super power on the basis of religion and since then America is leading the war, exploiting Muslims and their natural assets in all Islamic countries

The recent example of religious impatience is the incineration of Christian Community in Lahore, where few arsonists torched down the houses of Christians. There was an outcry on every news channel. At the same time Muslims in Burma are facing discrimination and victimization from Buddhists community.

To sum it up I would like to say that religious tolerance is a virtue which is praised in every religion. The holy Quran has described it that  ‘ There is no compulsion in religion’. We should respect every religion and should abstain from hurting the feeling of other believers.
