From where intolerance comes from ?

Dears,

Islam and tolerance in the way the western world defines it are not compatibles.

Of course, islam followers say they accept others faiths, but as long as they do not contest islam principles.

It causes me sadness about thinking how people live in countries where you always have to be aware not to harm islam words. One can be put into jail or even die if his/her words are misunderstood.
