Quote:
The three Abrahamic religions are not intolerant. It is some of the people and some of the religious leaders that are intolerant. One should read the religious texts to properly understand this. The Koran even states that Christians and Jews are people of the book. Likewise it is only some people and some religious leaders that have decided that their, and only their, religion has the word of God.

In the Islamic (Madrassas) schools in Pakistan and other middle eastern countries the students are taught to memorize the Koran and learn that the infidels (the west especially the US) are evil and a threat to Islam, therefor, they must be destroyed. This is sanctioned by the Koran. The people bombing and killing innocent people are not illiterate, they are well trained terrorists believing they are performing the will of God.
