He should tell it [being tolerant] to the Moslems. Being tolerant means putting up with people burning a few books, which of course does no harm to anyone at all: < Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper offended everyone by saying “I don't speak very often about my own religion, but let me be very clear: My God and my Christ is a tolerant God, and that's what we want to see in this world,” he said. >

Americans don't go berserk because people burn a USA flag. Christians tolerate "works of art" about their religion though they find them offensive. The Moslems could take the opportunity to show the world what a religion of peace they have and how tolerant they are, just like true-believer Harper.

If somebody burns a book on physics, I won't get upset, I'd just think they would probably be better off to read it than burn it. You'd think Moslems would think along similar lines.
