So we come back to the begining. This has nothing to do with religion.

The same intolerance can be found among Christian extremists, though
they won't be found that soon with guns or C4 to make their point
clear. They're just as guilty of intolerance and hatred, though.

Just one example :
France 1989 - Movie : "The Last Temptation of Christ"

Actually, a few members of the extreme pro-choice (anti-abortion) movement in
the US *have* been found with guns and/or explosives. Unfortunately, at least
one doctor has been murdered and several abortion clinics bombed by American
extremists.




The human race still has got lots to learn, and it starts with simple
respect for eachother.
BUT: if I don't get respect from you, don't expect me to give you any.

This is the keyword, the Respect.
When you judge people in large group, political, religious, ethnic...
you lack of respect for at leat 50% of them.
