they are seeking tolerance from others but what about their own tolerance level? nowhere in the presentation they talk about the need to promote tolerance within.
what they need to convince others is, they can live with many diffenent kinds of people. Can they tolerate people who might have more than only one god? Can they live peacefully next to people who worship idols? can they live peacefully with various sects within Islam?
The presentation talks about many being muslims 'only by names' but not pratcises - why can't they accept that its ok to have various degrees of religiosity. one can practice 0%, 10% 20% or 90% percent of his/her religion -- its upon individual choices.
One doesn't need to follow blindly whatever the religious leaders say.
