As we saw before, beliefs can have various degrees of consequences in practice, affecting other persons. For example, a model of tolerance might say: "You say you believe Allah tells you to fly a plane into the WTC. Well, I respect your good intentions, but I personally hold the view that an airport is a more adequate place for a plane."

Unfortunately, conflicts cannot be avoided. Then it is not the best idea to present your own beliefs in full length. Instead, find weak points in your opponents' argumentation. For example, you could point out that Allah (if he/He existed) would not want the reputation of Islam blemished. Often conflicts can be solved without anyone feeling defeated. When every such attempt has failed, it is time to stand firm.
