Religious and Racial Tolerance

The Cornerstone of Pluralistic Society

In an increasingly multicultural and multiracial society, where national borders become blurred and ethnic disputes more common, the need for tolerance and respect towards all people, regardless of their racial, ethnic, or religious background, becomes crucial to world peace.
