Human rights are often held to include the individual’s free access to life, liberty

for the right of persons of all faiths to coexist in peace together without
oppression or discrimination.

5.2 Lees die onderstaande uittreksel en beantwoord die vrae wat daarop volg.
Menseregte word soms gesien om die individu se vrye toegang tot lewe,
vryheid en die navolging van geluk, in te sluit. Dit sluit gelykheid voor die wet
in. Die vryheid van denke en uitdrukking asook godsdiens vryheid is ook
belangrik.
Die term ‘godsdienstige verdraagsaamheid’ het ongelukkig baie betekenisse.
Hier word godsdienstige verdraagsaamheid gedefinieer as ‘verleng
godsdiensvryheid na mense van alle godsdienstige tradisies, selfs al skyn hul
gelowe en praktyke vreemd en onwaar’. Verdraagsaamheid toon eenvoudig
respek vir die regte van persone van alle gelowe om saam in vrede sonder
onderdrukking en diskriminasie, voort te bestaan.

Onitsha, Nigerië. Dosyne verkoolde, smeulende liggame het die strate van
hierdie bedrywige handelshoofstad besaai na drie dae se oproerigheid waar
Christenbendes met kapmesse, knuppels en messe hul Moslembure aangeval
het. Oproeriges het talle mense hier vermoor, meestal Moslems, nadat hul
huise, besighede en moskees afgebrand is in die ergste geweld nog wat
verband hou met spotprente van die Profeet Mohammed wat die eerste keer in
ʼn Deense koerant verskyn het. Die oproerigheid het hier uitgebreek na
aanvalle verlede week op Christene in noordelike Nigerië deur Moslems wat
woedend was oor die spotprente.
