The Islamist
Way

"Expansion
and conquest" make one of the pillars of the Islamist doctrine. For that
reason, it requires, and overtly or covertly struggles for, expanding
"rights" in non-Muslim countries.
It is
simply futile to expect Islamists to demonstrate a crumb of the tolerance
they demand of non-Muslim nations.
Islamists often do not hide it: They love head-count democracy in lands
where they make a majority; and hate it in lands where they are in the
minority. They would crush other faiths, including different sects and
practices of their own faith -- or no faith, for that matter -- where they
are in power.
In that happy set-up, the intriguing word "tolerance" is
nowhere to be seen. Respect for the minority is too rare a commodity:
"This is our land, we are in the majority, we rule and we rule it as we
wish; and if you don't like it, go to hell."
