Islam is not a religion by any commonly accepted standard. It's a war ideology, a call for world domination under a theological veneer. It has no more claim to being a religion -- a path to God -- than does the Democratic Party, and deserves about as much respect.
It's gratifying to encounter others who understand this.

We're dealing with an evil, totalitarian, dictatorial, murderous political system masquerading as a religion. Just the treatment of women in Islamic societies should tell you all you need to know about this "culture". Add in their intolerance of non-believers, and it becomes obvious what a rational tolerance policy might look like.
Personally, I will become tolerant of Islam when there are churches and synagogues in Mecca, Medina, Riyadh, Islamabad, Karachi, Cairo, Khartoum, and similar locales, and the locals aren't trying to burn down the structures and kill the attendees.
