It is inapt to compare the tolerance of Christian fundamentalists with that of average Muslims rather of Islamic fundamentalists. The immense majority of Muslims are fairly tolerant, though not quite as much so as the overwhelming majority of Christians (Protestants, Catholics and Orthodox) of all variaties. Fundamentalists of both faiths are quite intolerant, but the Islamic fundamentalists appear to be more intolerant (and more numerous) as we see wherever the Sharia is aplied when throngs of people gather to witness scheduled decapitations, stonings and mutilations sentenced by religious clergy in places like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and, of course, Iran. We've got nothing comparable from the Christians nowadays, when was the last time you heard of a Christian fundamentalist dying for his faith?
