One word--ignorance. If people took the time to learn about other cultures and religions, we would find it fascsinating instead of being intolerant.

usually people are intolerant about things they cannot understand properly- this is probably the main cause of discrimination. things we do not understand are subconsciously perceived as different/ other/ dangerous.
at the same time, some people are narrow minded and cannot accept variety, believing that whatever is not by their principles or limited knowledge is wrong, therefore intolerable.
in a world aspiring for high standards of culture, acquisition and techological advance, we progress in competition and regress as human beings forgetting to accept others the way they are.

Ignorance, fear, and pride...These things make up the intolerant individual.

because they tend to generalize about people, places and religions--like you're doing by asking this question.
