I agree. The senseless hatred against Muslims in America has only gotten worse as the Republican Party has looked for something new to scare people with. I guess they've milked the fear of gays for all it's worth and have moved on. I fully support Islamo-Christians to practice their religion, provided they're not caterwauling in my ear at 3 AM.
That said, tolerance and cooperation do not include tip toeing around someone's sacred beliefs or refusing to say anything offensive to said beliefs. Beliefs are never sacred. People and their rights are. Beliefs must always be subject to all manner of examination, criticism and even ridicule. That too is covered under the 1st amendment.
