I agree with you whole heartedly. The problem we have is that this notion of religious tolerance is not a two way street. It is and should be in the US but it is not. Christians don't seem to accept Muslims, Muslims don't seem to accept Christians or we would never have heard of the word Infidel. I would submit that in the Muslim religion they do seem to be more tolerant of the fact that JC was a profit, but not the other way around. Intolerant religions has been the spark of countless wars from time BC. Now the latest fad is for non-religious people to bash those of some organized religion and visa versa.

I think you meant prophet, but considering the amount of fundraising being done in his name, you could make the point for either.

Um, infidel is an English word, not one invented by Muslims. If not for Muslims we wouldn't have heard the word keffir, but hey, most of us haven't anyway.
