One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ. OK. But what's that got to do with Jewel? I am intolerant with people who fly planes into buildings while slitting the throats of the flight crew. As am I. But what's that got to with Jewel? Having said that I have no political or religious affiliation so I'm not sure I qualify. I heard a rumor you're a Republican. Is this true? Am I a member of the Party? No. Do I usually vote Republican? Yes. Do I always vote Republican? Not quite. Actually, I prefer the Libertarians. But they can't win elections.

Those people are dead, having already flown the planes. So maybe what you are really saying is that you are trying to sort out who the next potential hijackers might be, so you can be intolerant of them- unless you are just reminding us that you are intolerant of the dead hijackers. I am sure many Muslims are intolerant of the people who flew the planes. Although not all Muslims live in places where they would have the freedom to express intolerance with such a thing, if they felt it. IMO you are casting the net a wee bit broadly if you are willing to include all Muslims in your potential hijackers category.
