Intolerance and militancy is a global problem of current era. Pakistan has been also prey of intolerance and militancy. When we talk about peace and tolerance; right away Islam comes into mind. Regardless of the result of the debate, the fact remains that Islam is what defined the true meaning of peace to mankind. Hence, the world and universe could benefit from the infinite compassion and mercy of Allah. Islam teaches and advises every Muslim to treat everyone, either Muslim or non-Muslim with gratitude and justice, to help and protect the innocent and the needy. To stop evil and all evil shaped in the form of chaos, unrest, instability, fear and terror which destroys the concept of all peace and tranquillity. Dr. Syed Naeem has specialized to find out the causes of intolerance among the followers of Sematic Religion, in order to contribute in promoting tolerance. He has conducted his research in the same line during his fellowship in USA.

According to Dr. Syed Naeem “America was the best choice to study the cause of intolerance among the followers of Sematic Religion as America is a multi-cultural and multi religion country.
