My post was simply that the basic book of two other mainstream religions teaches intolerance as well. Neither is acceptable.
Perhaps my point would be more well-stated that religious education that teaches intolerance is unacceptable, no matter what the religion.

Sure, many people are openly critical of Islam, but it seems that it is often not a singular attack, and in the name of political correctness, is diverged into a general attack on all religion- possibly for concern that critcizing Islam by itself would not be fair.
On the other hand, singular attacks on Christianity seem to occur with great regularity. Perhaps this is simply because we are more familiar in the west with the flaws in Christianity, but I'm not sure.
Please note that this is a mild obversation, and by no means am I implying that every religious cynic is like this.
