You preach tolerance, but have been found wanting of being truly tolerant yourself. Of course, this is true of many if not most of those that preach the loudest about tolerance.

It's silly to ask tolerant people to be more tolerant of intolerant beliefs. It's like saying: "you shouldn't consider Nazis as bigoted hatemongers, after all they're just standing up for what they believe in, good for them!"

When religious beliefs and their proponents become forces for oppression and the perpetuation of atavistic stereotypes then the tolerant and reasonable person is obligated to stop tolerating and start protesting/ objecting, etc.

The man speaks the truth. Should we be "tolerant" of certain Muslim beliefs that women should be subservient and that death is normal punishment for disobeyance and a weak dowry?

Nice try.
