Summary
The terrorist attack against the contributors of Charlie Hebdo magazine in January 2015 which caused a wave of anti-Islamic and pro-Muslim protest actions all over the world revealed an old latent problem. The ideology of multiculturalism has led a modern European society to the severe crisis of principles of their own set-up—secularity, tolerance and freedom of all kinds (Headley, 2012). According to Western analysts, all this makes the problem of possible collision of civilizations prevention quite acute (Cassidy, 2015). The objective of the article is to study the conditions under which tolerance is formed and manifested in a multi-ethnic region.
