The logic of the fiery monotheists is quite straight forward if you believe that your God is the one true God and all others are false idols. 

It runs like this: those who persecute Muslims deserve to die (see Myanmar) and those who are persecuted by Muslims deserve to die (see Indonesia). 

Those who haven't had their minds poisoned by violence rightly see such a doctrine as the absolute, insane antithesis of tolerance. But the question is, do they do anything about it? 

Recently I read something to the effect that tarring all Muslims with the terrorist brush is like tarring all Christians with the KKK brush in the US. Well of course this is true. There are millions upon millions of peaceful Muslims all over the world. Ask yourself this t
though...where are the KKK now? They are in the dustbin of history, and why? Because people (whites included) fought and died for civil rights. 

Of course the US is not a racial paradise but it civilized itself (internally at least, foreign policy is another question) through struggle and blood and this was achieved through a doctrine of non-violence. And here? Well, who will stand up and fight for justice? It'll take real bravery, make no mistake.
