Abstract

When speaking about dialogue we always start looking for methods of presenting best the content of our speech. Approaching another through dialogue does not seem to care much about the will or the desire to accept the other for dialogue since this is the basis of the binary formula of the dialogue. Yet, for the religious dialogue, the things are not at all so clear, I would like to say sometimes; instead, this is the usual issue with the interreligious dialogue. However, when, in the end, we manage to put together two or more religious representatives for dialogue the most intriguing aspect of the dialogue is less of its content and aspects to be put under the attention of the participants, and more about the issue of accepting, tolerating all others aside in this dialogue. Nervousness, anxiety, discomfort, and squirm are the habitual and, even more shocking, the expected features in interfaith dialogue. Well, if this is the main problem in interfaith, being able to bring tolerance in this “toxic” environment, it would be a step forward one would say. Still, ‘tolerance’ is not the perfect tool for interreligious dialogue on various motifs that we will discover while reading this article.
