Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek...” not the tolerant. Tolerant equates to passive, mild mannered, or weak. Meek means being humble; having the knowledge to use your sword yet choosing to leave your sword in its sheathe. Tolerance is quiet & submissive, while meekness can still be a warrior who is fully capable of taking action. That is the example Jesus modeled & called His followers to be. Nowhere is tolerance celebrated or rewarded in the Bible.
