When Mohammad founded his religion, one of his first acts was to cleanse Mecca of idols. Was he not being intolerant of the religious beliefs of idol worshipers? Can Muslims' justify Mohammad's act by saying that Allah is against idol worship and therefore it was his duty to destroy idols? At best, Muslims can avoid idol worship (which they really don’t,), but what right have they to destroy idols of non-Muslims? This act of Mohammed was surely the inspiration for renowned idol smashers like Babar who destroyed Rama's temple at Ayodhya.
Muslims, if they are to come into the fold of tolerant practitioners of religion, must disown this act of Mohammad and accept the multiplicity of paths to God. Otherwise their intolerant psyche will only breed more and more terrorists in their community and tar the entire community as terrorists (this is what is happening in the world today)..
