Some in those countries aren't just vocally intolerant but will cut your head off kind of intolerant.

Can you name those, "vast majority of Muslim countries" for us? Which countries do you think are particularly offensive in that regard?

a list of the most intolerant from a U.S. government panel published by CNN

Myanmar, North Korea, Eritrea, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, China, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.

those on the watch list

Afghanistan, Belarus, Cuba, Egypt, Indonesia, Laos, Russia, Somalia, Tajikistan, Turkey, and Venezuela.

So although not exclusive to Muslims they are well represented among the elite. Hope you notice the oddity of countries where the Judeo Christian faith is predominant are missing from the list.

PS Thanks for the softball pitch Riot

"Softball pitch"? You didn't support your contention. You said, "It is and it's a shame that the same [religious freedom] doesn't exist in the vast majority of Muslim countries. Some in those countries aren't just vocally intolerant but will cut your head off kind of intolerant."

It's nice that you googled a list of thirteen religiously intolerant countries. But we were talking only about Muslim countries. A significant portion of the countries you listed are not Muslim.

Maybe you could support your contention? List the Muslim countries of the world, then out of that list, show that "the vast majority" (which ones) are religiously intolerant, and then the ones that will cut off your head kind of intolerant?

PS - if you just want to go on a "Muslims suck!" rant, skip the trouble, and just say it.

.

I don't think that is necessary. The answer is all to the first question (using the U.S. religious tolerance as a guide line) and few but they do exist for cut your head off intolerant countries. I though don't believe everything Jimmy Carter writes.

Especially with the last 4 races still to 'cap at Toga.

And I'm sorry you think that we as a country are so intolerant because in realty we're not.

LOL - I don't think that and never said anything close to it. "We as a country" seem generally very tolerant of others.

It's just a small minority of Americans that seem to freak out about those different from themselves.

Thankfully though they don't 'freak out' by flying planes into buildings and beheading those different than themselves in the name of God.

No, some of them just shoot and kill other Americans, in the name of God.
