Tolerance Truth Is Form

More From Philip Pullman

The opposite of compromise is not integrity. the opposite of compromise is not idealism. the opposite of compromise is fanaticism and death. and yes, i know one or two things about fanaticism and death, and i reject them. the alternative to fanaticism and to death is not some miraculous realization that someone has been wrong and he has to apologize. no, the answer to fanaticism and to death is curiosity and compromise and concession.

What is needed is a move beyond tradition, nothing less than a reform movement to bring the core concepts of islam into the modern age, a muslim reformation to combat not only the jihadist ideologues but also the dusty, stifling seminaries of the traditionalists, throwing open the windows to let in much-needed fresh air.... it is high time, for starters, that muslims were able to study the revelation of their religion as an event inside history, not supernaturally above it.... broad-mindedness is related to tolerance; open-mindedness is the sibling of peace.

Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. if we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. we should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

I don't find any difference between islam and islamic fundamentalists. i believe religion is the root, and from the root fundamentalism grows as a poisonous stem. if we remove fundamentalism and keep religion, then one day or another fundamentalism will grow again. i need to say that because some liberals always defend islam and blame fundamentalists for creating problems. but islam itself oppresses women. islam itself doesn't permit democracy and it violates human rights.

People should decide on the books' meanings for themselves. they'll find a story that attacks such things as cruelty, oppression, intolerance, unkindness, narrow-mindedness, and celebrates love, kindness, open-mindedness, tolerance, curiosity, human intelligence.

Broad-mindedness is related to tolerance; open-mindedness is the sibling of peace.

I think the fact that father is running now as opposed to in 2012 where he didn't that he's had enough faith in myself and my siblings to be able to run the company.we've got tens of thousands of people that are under his direct employ. those people, he wouldn't leave a company and leave those people and their lives and everything they've put into it at risk if he didn't think there was competent leadership to take over after him.
