The Place and Importance of Tolerance among Members of Different Religions in Terms of International Relations (In the Example of Turkey)

Abstract

As the colour and shape of life changes in our developing and changing age, the ruling institutions and organisations and even all individuals who have a say over societies adopt different and new methods and management styles. In this sense, the importance of tolerance and tolerance in multi-religious nations is increasing day by day. Again today, it is possible to observe many societies in different regions due to their geographical location, sometimes believing in various religions and living together at the same time. Turkey and Turkish society can be mentioned as an example in this regard. Atheism, Deism, Buddhism, Theism and people belonging to many different beliefs have always managed to live together for centuries and pioneer the culture of tolerance. The word tolerance, which in the dictionary means "to show ease, to be lenient, to ignore mistakes", together with tesâmuh and semâha, which come from the same root, as an ethical term, refers to showing ease to people in terms of obligations, tolerating mistakes and defects that do not shake the social structure, and freely expressing various thoughts, beliefs and behaviours.[1] In this sense, it is extremely important that this culture of tolerance is adopted and not forgotten while various activities and activities are carried out by believers at the point of teaching and spreading religious manifestations.
