One may fairly doubt whether the absurd claim that everyone’s views are right in his own way bespeaks tolerance rather than a desire to put one’s own views beyond question.

'"their" own ways': shouldn't that read "his" own way? Are you surrendering to the shitegeist?

Ah, but "their" is referring to "views", not "everyone's".

Having said that, it is perhaps better to have "way" refer to someone rather than the views themselves, and thus I shall take your prompt and change "theirs" to "his".
