Americans have no problem accepting other religions than christianity. Muslims have labled us as intolerant. There are many religions living here. If Americans did not accept Muslims, there wouldn't be any in America. We are just sick of being called infidel, devils, whor-s, etc... I have no tolerance for anyone who would blindly adhere to violence as a way of life. When the Twin Towers came down I went to the store in our neighborhood to check on the clerk there. She was alone and she is Muslim. I was concerned that the rednecks in our hood would retaliate against them. Well, they didn't. People are more tolerant than you think.

Alhamdulillah muslims are doing very well. However, you cannot expect that all would embrace Islam. So, don't worry. You should convey the message properly. Those people whose heart is being sealed by God because of their sin you can't guide them. You cannot give life to dead (hearts) but they will be raised only on the day of judgement

If Muslims were more tolerant of 'insults' such as the Danish Cartoons, we would be more tolerant of their 'eccentricities' such as Muslim women wearing the full veil. But such violent reactions create suspicion when we are faced, say, by someone who can see and read our facial expressions - yet we cannot see theirs.
Muslims are very quick to rise up against so-called insults to their prophet but yet, every day, Christians are insulted by Islam whose religon, by its very nature and teachings, downgrades the deity of Jesus Christ to a mere 'second class' prophet. Is that not insulting? But are Christians tolerant of this? I would say mostly 'yes'.
Islam needs to learn a bit of tolerance itself. After all, is Allah not big enough to fight his own battles?

Show them the true face of Islam. Follow the life stile of prophet Mohammed (SAAW) and his manners and ethics, tell them by your behavior that Muslims are polite, friendly, help each others and the others. Having patience in hardship and generosity in wealthy times. Make your life a continuous practice of Quran and its orders, they will see how great religion it is.

Read the book "The Truth About Muhammad" by Abraham Spencer.
But best of all, pray to God for guidance and that people be enlightened to see the truth.
