You can tolerate other "minority beliefs" without undermining/minimizing your own.
Tolerance - a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one's own; freedom from bigotry.

You couldn't tell?
You said
you don't care about others having their ability to voice their beliefs and values crushed on behalf of defending "Western moral tradition." For the life of me, I can't see "crushing" in your definition of tolerance there.
It is perfectly clear that you don't
actually preach tolerance of any sort. You might wish to disguise your thinly veiled bigotry (remember, tolerance is freedom from bigotry, as per your definition) and close-minded hand-wringing over the supposed destruction of western morality and culture -- and I've heard others claim the same thing, but I've never yet heard what morals and what culture is really being destroyed, or seen any actual examples that aren't disproven by real numbers, so I'm still waiting -- but it's not difficult to see through your facade.
In the end, I suppose I'm happier with being a liberal ninny than whatever the hell you are.
