This is not permissible.

Mutual tolerance cannot be achieved by compromising
one's religious principles.

It is essential for Muslims to denounce beliefs which
are alien to Islamic teachings and at the same time
show respect for the followers of other faiths.

Respect can be attained by inculcating noble Islamic
qualities such as truthfulness, honesty, kindness,
integrity, punctuality, modesty and humbleness etc.
These are universal qualities which will win
appreciation and respect.

The Honourable Sahabah (R.A) gained respect in foreign
lands with these noble qualities without having to
participate in their un-Islamic qualities.

Allah (SWT) says in the Holy Qur'an, "Verily the Deen
(accepted) with Allah is (only) Islam." (3:19)

Allah (SWT) Knows Best.
