Abstract

This paper took a critical look at toleration as the central plank of modern democratic state. There are diversities in a democratic state that manifest differences in language, values, attitudes, lifestyles, religion, dress, custom, tradition, physical appearance, interests and speech. This shows the het- erogenous nature of the modern democratic state which can pose danger to civil peace without toleration. Not recognizing and respecting the rights and beliefs of other people who have divergent views are the major cause of intolerance. This work argues that toleration is an indispensable tool for democratic sustainability. In order to give the topic the adequate explanation that it deserves, we employed analysis. The paper is concluded with the suggestion that being tolerant remains the key to resolving political and religious tension and differences in a democratic state.
