The moderates want peace...both Muslims and Christians. Tolerance means a willingness to recognize and respect the beliefs or practices of others. This does not mean trying to convert or mislead anyone. I was raised Christian and mentored by Muslims. I do not belong to either religion by choice but I am accepted, regardless. The minute I try to harm any of these people (or cause other's suffering) I will not be tolerated. That's natural. However, to go to one extreme, say "We must kill Muslims (or Christians) because Islam (Christianity) is evil" is to support war and war is the opposite of peace.
