No. Buddhism is not tolerant. Today, 31 July 2008, I get the information from a friend in Laos about new christian persecuted in the country.
"Since a few days back is a severe persecution against new christian in Jomphet district in Laos. 5 villages with more than 500 to 600 Christians have been forced to renounce their faith. In the village of Huay An forced the Christians to burn all the Bibles and songbooks in the village centre. Those who are behind trying to do the same in other villages where there are Christians, but it is uncertain how they succeeded. Someone days before the 25th July two Christian leader where jailed in the village Khony, Muang Phu Kha District. They have 101 believers in their communities. The reason that the prison would be that the number of Christians is increasing in the region."
Answer
There is always a difference between the practices professed by a religion and the actions of some of its followers. In the case of Buddhism the precepts would encourage compassion, a policy of not causing harm and other positive attributes. What individuals do is potentially far from this. So, yes Buddhism is tolerant of other religions but Buddhists may not be.
