At first, I think that the main rule of tolerance is to allow every body 
to speak about every subject.

I read the Qur'an, and some versions of the sunna (Muhamed quotation and
actions).  Yakim is right:
     All the Islamic "government" (?), that hold before the 19th 
     centry (and even after) obliged the no muslim men
     (only,  because W....) to pay a special taxes *THE JIZIA*
     ( for special protection !!! ).
In the auther hand The Qur'an says that
   "Muslims are the best community (OUMMA) at all "
