COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ISLAMIC WEBSITES IN REPRESENTING TOLERANCE
Abstract
In today’s increasingly polarized world, fostering tolerance - acceptance, respect, and understanding for diverse beliefs and practices - is essential for peaceful coexistence. Islam, with nearly two billion followers globally, offers a rich and complex discourse on tolerance, rooted in its historical and theological foundations. This study explores how two prominent Islamic websites, Islamische-zeitung.de (Germany) and Islom.uz (Uzbekistan), operating in distinct cultural and national contexts, represent tolerance in their online discourse. Through a qualitative comparative discourse analysis of over 200 articles and opinion pieces published between 2014 and 2024, the study examines the websites' use of terminology, framing, and underlying narratives concerning tolerance towards other religions, internal diversity within Islam, and broader societal challenges. The central aim is to illuminate both similarities and divergences in their
representation of tolerance and explore the potential implications for interfaith dialogue, interfaith understanding, and peaceful coexistence in multicultural societies
