He does have a point, however. Islam does seem to be tolerant of some pretty extreme behavior. I had read last year that a vast majority of Egyptians were in favor of the death penalty for drawing Mohammed etc. Yes, pretty extreme.But, our beliefs here toward homosexuality and religious tolerance can also be very extreme. But we don't kill people for it (in general). In some of the Islamic countries (Iran, for example) there is a large, well-educated middle class that isn't OK with radical Islam or be ruled by Ayatollahs. Unfortunately, that's the case in many Muslim countries. Saudi Arabia is also very conservative.Hopefully, they progress. In the meantime, do we just kill them or try and reach some sort of understanding?</blockquote>
