Is it really "bigotry", or is it more along the lines of "self preservation", considering the fact that Islam leaves a path of destruction everywhere it goes.
Islam of today is like the murderous Catholicism of 400 years ago, in the days of the Inquisition. I have my doubts that Islam has the potential for advancement and enlightenment that the old Christians had to work their way through to step into the modern world.
One thing they have in common is a path of destruction and bodies everywhere they went/ go. To my mind, it's because they really don't have very much faith in their respective gods. Why would a real god need puny men to do his killing for him?
I don't know about y'all, but I'm not very tolerant of folks who want to blow me up because they perceive their god as too weak to do his own smiting...

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
