Dear Egypt, tolerance is part of the package

Prime minister says Egypt 'scrambling' after at least 23 killed in clashes - CNN.com:

The four ontological values are non-idolatry, tolerance, democracy and helpfulness. When democracy is the only value and pushed to the fore, we forget that the value of tolerance is a protection against weakness that we all share. Tolerance is the strength to swallow what you do not personally like. When this value is suppressed the mob comes forth on all sides and the ancient principalities and powers play out their ancient games. And lives are lost. Carry forward with non-idolatry the root and add to democratic fervor and helpfulness the resolute and courageous value we call tolerance. It is something anyone at any time can will and it signals an inner freedom that is worth more than gold.
