Yes, but then again, our major organizations have also managed to move past the totalitarian hate-monger phase. In fact, I'd say we're pretty damn tolerant right now, because we pretty much sit here and tolerate everything. Sure, we make a little noise now and then, but we hardly force our views on people. Actually, it mostly seems like secularists and the politically correct try to force their views on us.

I know, but in the context of "the difference between Muslims and Christians" thats not exactly true, especially with Christian extremists who protest gay marriage, hold book burnings, lynch homosexuals and bomb abortion clinics. I'm just saying its not exactly fair to make such a sweeping statement, especially when we are talking about less extreme things such as reacting to a film. I mean it was only a couple years ago when certain Christians were holding mass burnings of Harry Potter books and issuing death threat to JK Rowling. Not quite the same as condeming a whole country, I suppose. But its still unfair use one group of protestors in a militantly extreme region as a representative of a group of people that comprise over a billion individuals around the world. I don't see a billion people burning dutch flag--only some people in one of the most violent areas in the world.
