What you meant was the more fundamental the followers of a religion are, the more intolerant and vicious towards other they are. That's true. But that is not only in Islam. You have Christian fundamentalists that see no problem in killing doctors performing abortion, Jewish fundamentalists that that can't tolerate non-Jews among them. And I could find cases in other religions as well.

But those people do not represent the religion as a whole,not all people of that same religion agree with them, far from it. That's why I don't make generalized judgements because of SOME people and their actions. Of course I can agree that there's more of it in Islam, for numerous reasons (historical), and to some of them the west has contributed itself. Being a bit self-critical can be good as well sometimes, even in such times. It's not all black-white as some would like to see it. It never is.

You are as naive as the day is long.
All Muslims are not bad and out to wage Jihad but far too many are. 28 of the 30 wars going on involve Islam. Not all Muslims support the Jihadists but far too many do. Not all Muslims support the hijackers who killed 5000 people on 9-11-2001 but far too many do.

Islam is an in your face, aggressive religion that has been spread by force for centuries. From the first, Islam was spread by force. You cannot make the same claim for Christianity, Judaism and Hinduism .....All of which are being attacked by violent, radical Islam.
