I'm so tolerant I tolerate the intolerances of others

You cannot tolerate the unacceptable actions of people simply based on tolerating their religion. In Iran their laws allow for 9 year old girls to face the death penalty, the reason they do not do this is because of western interference. Many non-Muslim Muslim supporter in the west are opposed to this western interference in Islamic countries. Why do Muslims thinks its acceptable to marry and even senescence to death girls of such a young age, simple Mohammad's wife Aisha was 6 when they married and 9 when he consumed, therefore other Muslims think this too is acceptable.

Tolerant extremists have even tried to defend honour killings, and criticized those that condemn them of being islamiphobic. Muslims criticize the west for being Immoral, funny how they never jump at the opportunity to condemn the paedophile problem within the catholic church. The profit Mohammad was a paedophile, for a Muslim to say he wasn't is blasphemy. I'm not saying that all Muslims are paedophiles, the numbers are probably the same as in any country around the world, but if you try and criticize them on it, and the fact that though that do it hide behind Islamic law, the 'I'm so tolerant I tolerate the intolerances of others' brigade will jump down your throat for not tolerating Islam.

So if being intolerant of child executions, death sentences handed down for adultery, homosexuality, Apostasy and being raped, honour killings and men marrying children of 10 is Islamiphobic, then i guess i'm an intolerant Islamiphobic
