I hope in at least some of the areas, it's a last-gasp thing. Think of the 60s, when anti-black violence was at it's peak- people responded to the progress with violence, but then once people got used to the new state of affairs, violence pettered down.
Things are at their worst when those types feel like they're losing, and it's often a matter of outlasting/guarding against the violence rather than a big confrontation.

This is very generous of these Muslims. Most in that religion would do no such thing, since all non-Muslims are considered infidels. Nevertheless, kudos to these Muslims. I wish all were as caring and considerate.
Just so you know, Christians and Jews are considered fellow 'people of the book,' (i.e. it's recognized they worship the same God, if in different ways) and there's often provisions for living side by side with them in Muslim countries. Normally with some disadvantages to Muslims, but they do give acknowledgement, and that's in actual places where the religion has huge power.

also, while we're nitpicking islamic doctrine... "infidel" is a christian term
to muslims, you're kafir.

That's incorrect according to fundamental Christian beliefs. Islam denies Christ was the Messiah. They do not accept the New Testament as Scriptural truth, so Islam can not consider Christianity as fellow 'people of the book'. Sure, Islam recognizes Old Testament patriarchs as forefathers of their own faith, but that does not equate Allah with Jehova. The Quran is too fundamentally different from the Bible to even draw adequate comparisons. No Jews, as far as I know, would even consider Allah to be the Old Testament Jehovah.

Yeah, I've posted about this in religion forum several times before. Anyone who thinks Muslims and Christians share the same God is a fool. Christian God is a 3-in1 God (The Father, the Son, and Holy spirit). Muslims rejected the divinity of Christ. That's an undeniable fact no matter how hard the PC liberal crowd tries to deny it.

But the same goes for Jews.

Not all Jews reject Christ as the Messiah. Sadly, most do though. Regardless, Judaism and Christianity are not quite the same religion anyway so I'm not sure what your point is.
Edit: Oh yeah, it's propheseid in the Bible that Jews will come to accept Christ as the Messiah again sometime during the end times before He returns and that God will restore His relationship with them.

My point is that obviously there are different beliefs within these Religions, but ultimately Judaism, Islam and Christianity are related through the God they worship. i.e. both Islam and Christianity are an off-shoot of Judaism.

Perhaps, but if you're trying to say in a roundabout way that the Muslim God and the Christian One are the same then you're dead wrong.
