The protesters streamed out of mosques after Friday sermons, as pickup trucks with loudspeakers blared messages against Gibbons, who was sentenced Thursday to 15 days in prison and deportation.
The protesters called for Gibbons' execution, saying, "No tolerance: Execution," and "Kill her, kill her by firing squad."

Ladysable,
Those protestesting ARE the right-wing religious fundamentalists I was referring to.

It isn't tolerance if tolerance means anti-religious. There is good and bad in everything, but some more than others. It takes a sense of perspecive to recognize that Christianity and Islam are completely different.

Well, you'd be completely correct, if you'd take out the 'right wing' phrase.
Religious tolerance is what America was founded on! It's a pillar of our society, "separation of church and state" That's one of the reasons why the pilgrims came to the US.
There is a little thing called live and let live. You believe in what you want, I'll believe in what I want. You don't have to pray to this god, pray to your own good. If you're an atheist, don't participate at all! There, done, good.
For the most part, what I've seen, the Jewish and the Christians, leave everybody alone. They are not even close to the Muslim extremists, who can't tolerate the idea of someone thinking differently then the masses.
Merry Christmas!

Where did the article point out ANYTHING about "right wing fundamentalists"? Are you actually asserting that Sudanese protesters fit neatly into some pigeon holed American mindset?
Come on dude, why would you take someone else's nasty ordeal in another country and try to attack a group in THIS country that you disagree with while you pat yourself on the back for your own compassion and tolerance?
Where is the honesty in your question?

The tolerant one is the teacher that was just trying to help those in need. Yes, tolerance is good.
I wouldn't consider her a right-wing religious fundamentalist. Now those protesting - well, I can't call them what they are on YA.

Kind of a covert insinuation that America's evangelicals share an ideology of ends with Wahhabists?
Doesn't work but I do agree extremism is dangerous.

Tolerance is good.
Christian right wingers would NEVER call for someone's hanging if a class named a teddy bear "Jesus". There is a huge difference, buddy.
Can you imagine...in America that happeneing...c'mon dude.

Religious fundamentalism in any form is bad.

Absolutely. The worst thing is it wasn't even her idea to name the bear Muhammad, it was the children's.
