If Islam is a religion of tolerance then why?

Are news stories like this so common?

REUTERS - Muslim clerics in Pakistan's conservative North West Frontier Province want local authorities to expel all women working for international relief agencies in earthquake affected areas by the end of this month.

The clerics accuse the women, including Pakistanis employed by foreign non-government organizations (NGOs), of dressing improperly, mixing with men and drinking alcohol, which is banned in Islamic Pakistan.

"We are not against the NGOs, but we are against them spreading obscenity in society and trying to weaken our faith by corrupting our women," Moazzam Ali Shah, head of Tehreek-e-Islaha Muashra, or Movement to Cleanse Society, told Reuters in Mansehra town.

    Bush said it was a religion of tolerance. I never believed it for a minute because it just did not add up. In their Bible it is okay to lie to the Infidels. In their Bible it is demanded of them to kill infidels that refuse to convert. They are to take off the head of those that will not accept Allah as the one and only true God.

    So telling lies is not a sin if it is to an infidel (that is why they can get on these BS talk shows and deny the hatred toward the U.S., claim that Islam is a religion of peace, that their woman have the same rights as men in some countries).

    I cannot comprehend a religion so full of hate toward others who believe differently.

    That is why this so-called "war on terror" will never end. These people have been killing themselves, Jews, Christians, etc., since the beginning and have not stopped and everything they do and say has to do with their beliefs in God.

    precisely as Enduretwoend has stated. in case you prefer to be attentive to no count if a faith is meant to be a faith of religion and peace and not of violence then merely merely examine the written doctrine of that faith. subsequently, examine the Koran, and then commit some properly dedicated time discovering on the situation count, night out all biases and logically weighing all reasoning's on the two aspects of the table. as quickly as you have carried out your assessment, then you definately could locate it rather trouble-free to respond to your guy or woman question good sir. The question you're asking is rather that of a quick college term paper that should evolve right into a huge thesis question. this is those kinds of questions that could eat multiple time answering. you probable won't get everywhere on the edge of answering it your self in case you merely enable us to record you a team of our very own deductions in case you do no longer commit time to discovering it your self. ^_^. Onto a speedy pressing count now: "George Strait Fan" reported: "Islam is a violent cult" - 21 minutes in the past "George Strait Fan", you have given no enter or elaboration to what you meant particularly nor have you ever reported why, this discredits you and in turn conveys the thought you do no longer care approximately this community sufficient to grant a 2d of it sluggish to grant efficient enter. interior the destiny please place decrease back your enter, or you're merely dropping useful time that could have long previous into examining surely in intensity reasoning. thank you. ^_^.

    These women should respect the culture and customs of the people they are supposed to be serving. They should be tolerant and not impose their ( decadent) dress code and way of behaving on those poor, unfortunate people.

    it's possible that they mean Islam is supposedly a religion which tolerates other religions

    Which doesn't seem very truthful, does it? couldve just been politics (of course, religious extremists could be the very cause of it)

    Each society have their own rules and if you visit that country you should respect their rules. If you come to your neighbors you shoud not smoke in their house if they ask you not to smoke.
