More From Barack Obama

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.
Names Tolerance Claims
It's perfectly ok that there are certain people who do not accept islam at all. therefore, to announce that i am a muslim can rub some people the wrong way. but my aim is to show that those governments that violate the rights of people by invoking the name of islam have been misusing islam. they violate these rights and then seek refuge behind the argument that islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy. but this is basically to save face. in fact, i'm promoting democracy. and i'm saying that islam is not an excuse for thwarting democracy.
People Islam Democracy
I won't be a party to a conspiracy to mobilize the arabs against the persians. only the forces of colonialism benefit from such a conspiracy. i won't be a party to a conspiracy that splits islam into two - shiite islam and sunni islam - mobilizing sunni islam against shiite islam.
Party Two Islam
No one can learn tolerance in a climate of irresponsibility, which does not produce democracy. the act of tolerating requires a climate in which limits may be established, in which there are principles to be respected. that is why tolerance is not coexistence with the intolerable. under an authoritarian regime, in which authority is abused, or a permissive one, in which freedom is not limited, one can hardly learn tolerance. tolerance requires respect, discipline, and ethics.
Discipline Tolerance Democracy
The antidote to hatred in the heart, the source of violence, is tolerance. tolerance is an important virtue of bodhisattvas [enlightened heroes and heroines] - it enables you to refrain from reacting angrily to the harm inflicted on you by others. you could call this practice "inner disarmament," in that a well-developed tolerance makes you free from the compulsion to counterattack. for the same reason, we also call tolerance the "best armor," since it protects you from being conquered by hatred itself.
Hero Heart Practice
The iranian people were converted to islam not very much longer after the conquest of the arab world by islam, but they refused to adopt the arabic language, and it's a great point of pride to them that persian culture and the persian language and persian literature survived the conversion to islam. and the conversion to islam also was for most of them not the sunni majority form, but the shia one. so there's a great discrepancy between iranian society and many other of what we think of as arab muslim states and systems.

Similar Quotes
When we die to something, something comes alive within us. if we die to self, charity comes alive; if we die to pride, service comes alive; if we die to lust, reverence for personality comes alive; if we die to anger, love comes alive.
Pride Self Personality
Who combats bravely is not therefore brave, he dreads a death-bed like the meanest slave: who reasons wisely is not therefore wise,- his pride in reasoning, not in acting lies.
Wise Lying Pride
The vulnerability undid him even as the strength brought him pride. and the whole of her brought him love beyond the measuring of it. of all he'd craved in his life, all he'd dreamed of having, all he'd fought to gain by fair means or foul, he'd never imagined having such such as she as his own. never imagined himself the man he'd come to be because she was.
