A quick question:  Where do you get the idea that Islam teaches intolerance to people of other faiths?  You did mention at the beginning of this thread that you were going to stick to the Quran as your sorce.  However, the factors you are giving have no backing from the Quran and seem to be based only on the observance of a select group of individuals.  Which, unfortunately are the ones they seek out for American news broadcasts.

Thanks,

I really only have the internet as a resource but I have seen various translations (haddiths ?) about shunning non believers, non believers going to hell etc. Although, in my limited experience of muslims, I don't find that to be the case. I can rummage around again and look for specific verses it's just I didn't take note of them.
