Actually, Islam can be very tolerant indeed. It is a basic value of the religion. Unfortunately, in almost any religion there can be found some extremists who think that they have the God-given right to decide what everyone should be doing. (As Monty Python so wisely observed, "No one expects the Spanish Inquistion!")
