Religious Tolerance?

every islamic commentator i hear says islam is tolerant of both christian and jewish beliefs, where do they get this idea? is there a anywhere in the world that jews and islam coexists? is there anywhere in the world that islam and christians coexist?

every muslim i have talked to has this extreme double standard concerning religion. they wish us to be tolerant of their beliefs and understand the evil they do, at the same time jews are to be killed everywhere they can be found. a supporting reason for the attacks of 9/11 was the idea that jews worked in the wtc. not israelis mind you, jews! .... at least the germans did not go after jews 1/2 a world away. does anyone doubt that given a chance, they would not kill every jew in the world? this is the religion of peace? yes, as in rest in peace!
the amazing thing is that liberals would not tolerate any christian speaking this same evil. do abortion rights exist in any arab country? women cannot even show their faces. men routinely murder female family members for refusing to listen to the father. islam even justifies raping an enemy's women. would any western politician survive if he even hinted that this action was ok? ever notice that except in the west, there are no black muslims? why not? they sold blacks into slavery! they still do. ask sudan where the southern black population has disappeared to? they have been murdered, raped,and sold. now this same thing is going on in chad. the funny thing is, most of america's muslims are black...., but in arab countries, you can murder the father, rape the mother, and sell the kids into slavery and no one says nothing.
so as they say, islam is tolerant of other peoples. they hate women, blacks, westerners, jews,hindus, and athiests.
who are they tolerant of?...
