"The moderates want peace...both Muslims and Christians." <--This is from me.

"you are not tolerant of religions that are extreme in the sense" <--From you.

Stop trying to put words or ideas that are not mine in my "mouth", so to speak. Neither religion is about harming people. I think there are plenty of examples in this thread that show how both Christianity and Islam have been used by fundamentalists/antagonists to justify their positions. Islam is not about harming people. Some Muslims are...but that does not mean that you (or anyone else) can prove that ALL Muslims seek to harm others. This just is not true. That they are allowed to preach their rhetoric (along with Christian fundamentalists) shows religious tolerance. Tolerance is that they/we are allowed to fit under the same umbrella...as humans.
