Really?Historically yes Islam has been more tolerant than Christianity. The Koran has many clauses dealing with tolerence that were not in the Christian bible that helped promote tolerence through the ages. For example many none Abrahamic religions were allowed to still practice their faith even though they were considered non-believers as long as they agreed to a treaty and stuck to it. When in Europe with Christianity, there were no options of treaties and communties were slaughtered for being Pagan if they did not convert. Muslims were allowed to marry Christians and Jews but many Christian churches banned marriages outside ones Church in Europe.
There is more evidence of Islamic tolerence than there is for Christian tolerence.
Of course when someone has a personal or political agenda to achieve, those clauses are ignored, which is the case with the majority of the violent events in the last 10 years dealing with Islam and its followers.
How so?
