Isn't it about time that intolerant Muslims accept that not all humans wish to be Muslims. I agree with that. I believe in the all people created equally and government shouldn't legislate religious values concepts. Sure. Imo........intolerant Muslims are going to lose this fight because like it or not tolerance is better than killing innocents. I think intolerant Muslims will lose this fight because we have bigger guns than they do, not because tolerance is preferable to intolerance. When they had bigger guns than their enemies, they won, regardless of their then held views about tolerance. But you are responding to a post about my guess on what is perceived as "attacking Islam" today. Putting Jerusalem under Israeli control as opposed to multi-cultural control has got to be viewed as an attack on Islam, wouldn't you say? Israeli control was achieved through war, the Jews won and the Muslims lost. How would you describe that if you were a "tolerant Muslim"? As for the Muslims that believe Sharia law must be legislated by the government, I agree, they are setting themselves up for a trouble anytime they mingle with non-Muslims. All men created equal and the government shall make no laws about religion works. Yeah, I agree. Unfortunately no one in the Middle East, including Israel, agrees.

Isn't it about time that intolerant Muslims accept that not all humans wish to be Muslims. That some wish to be Christians. Some wish to be Jews. Some wish to be Hindus. Some wish to be Atheists. Some wish to be..........? Can not Muslims discuss this issue and come to some kind of understanding, some tolerance for diversity among humans? No. Read Bernard Lewis's "The Crisis of Islam" for an understanding why. amazon.com It is a principle tenent of the Muslim religion to spread the religion worldwide. Nonbelievers (infidels if you will) are to be converted or, if not willing to be converted, killed. Simple as that.
