It is said that ignorance lead to intolerance. People who are not aware of things jump to conclusion which results in intolerance.
These things are linked to prejudices and value judgement.
Eg recent killing of Gauri Lankesh and rationals like Narendra Dabholkar happened due to orthodox value judgement and conflict with modern values.
