Today's MESSAGE for today's visitors:
Toleration, also commonly known as tolerance, is "the practice of deliberately allowing or permitting a thing of which one disapproves. One can meaningfully speak of tolerating, ie of allowing or permitting, only if one is in a position to disallow”. It has also been defined as "to bear or endure" or "to nourish, sustain or preserve". Toleration may signify “no more than forbearance and the permission given by the adherents of a dominant religion for other religions to exist, even though the latter are looked on with disapproval as inferior, mistaken or harmful”. [1]
Historically, most incidents and writings pertaining to toleration involve the conflict between a dominant or state religion and minority or dissenting viewpoints. In the twentieth century and after, analysis of the doctrine of toleration has been expanded to include political and ethnic groups, homosexuals and other minorities.
As reported in the Old Testament, the Persian king Cyrus the Great was believed to have released the Jews from captivity in 539-530 BC, and permitted their return to their homeland, now known as Israel. [2]
The
Hellenistic city of
Alexandria, founded 331 BC, contained a large
Jewish community which lived in
peace with equivalently-sized
Greek and
Egyptian populations. According to
Michael Walzer, the city provided "a useful example of what we might think of as the
imperial version of
multiculturalism."
[3]
The concept of neovandalism or regulated vandalism pertains to orchestrated efforts by old and new Wikipedia users or editors to delete unwanted articles or information in Wikipedia using highly regulated approaches including obtaining supports from administrators. Given high burden of work many editors or administrators may not be aware of being persuaded by such users.
