The Meaning of the Glorious Qu'ran 5:69
Islam

I call him Brahman who is tolerant with the intolerant, mild with the fault-finders, and free from anger among the angry.

Those who allow others to "be" themselves without condemn them or persecuting those who are unlike themselves. I am not there yet. Are you?
