If people in other countries won't accept our freedoms,religious tolerance and love?

lol. You realize that Christians do that everywhere. Even in their own country. And it's because their religion teaches that they should do exactly that.

No you can't, I agree with what you said 100%. \nIt's scary what's happening in europe, muslims are emigrating there in droves and they bring along with it all their hateful ideology, and if the time comes when they are asked to chose between their hateful clerics whims, or their country... They are gonna chose the hateful cleric.

There really shouldn't be a problem seeing as how in our constitution it gives us the freedom of religion. If anyone else has a problem with it then they should move to another country. I didn't serve for ten years just so some close-minded bigot can give another American trouble for their choice of religion.

Dear Friend,\n\nThat's a very interesting question.  \n\nPart of the problem is that the peoples of different nations believe many different things.  The religions of one nation condemn the religions of their neighbors.  The way of life in Nation A can be repugnant to everyone in Nation B.  As long as ideas are at war, people will be at war.\n\nIn addition to the culture clash, there's the general sense of people everywhere that political control should be local.  The feeling is that decisions concerning our lives shouldn't be made by people "over there" who don't have the sense of how our day to day life progresses.  \n\nLastly, there's a philosophical shift that we'd have to make between being a citizen of our nation and a citizen of the world.  It's in the works -- witness the EU -- but slowly, and with much resistance.  And that's normal.  Big changes take time.\n\nYour Friend,\nFrancesois

You hit the nail on the head,other countries always claim that we are arrogant and we are too religious or not religious enough,we are too strict or not strict enough.They way I look at it..,dont worry about my backyard until you clean your own.

I see very little outside of the United States, so I will limit my remarks to my country.  Our culture has become very diverse.  As a consequence, there seems to be a wider span of beliefs and thoughts about the proper and socially acceptable behavior.\nOn one hand are those who are steeped in traditional moral value, but have been lead to believe that military action in the middle east is acceptable behavior.  On the other hand are the rising minorities who are coming to the realization that the “American Dream” may remain just a dream for them.\nToo far?  We, as a society, are too divided to solve our own problems.  We are rapidly building walls between ourselves and each other as well as the rest of the world.  We seem to have forgotten tolerance in favor of getting “in each other’s face.”  The seeds that we sow now shall be reaped at some future time, perhaps when our national debt is owed to the rest of the world.

No, unless they have been told that THEIR truth is the only truth...at that point they are able to make judgements and commit acts against "WRONG" thinking types that are consistent with their belief system...this type of thinking leads to things like the crusades, 9/11, the spanish inquisition, and genocide...you see none of us is going away or changing our beliefs because someone else says we're wrong...so INTOLERANCE is the problem NOT different belief systems.

I am afraid you will not find good data on this. In many countries you are forced to be islamic. If you don't convert you will be killed. Hear of Dar fur? This is not across the board but it is huge. Many people are disowned by their families if they leave. Here is a link to one guy I know left Isam.

Heck NO...can you imagine 180 different cultures wanting different things. Like in\nMuslims countries it's common to put in JAIL anyone\nwho doesn't agree with their religion.\nMany African nations have crazy laws like this\nthat we coundn't agree to...and they out number us!\n\nJust think about what your asking a little bit

It would probably be hard for you to do so if you are not exposed to those belonging to other Religious persuasions.\nThis can cause rise for a serious bias in opinion as is evident in many parts of the world, but moreso inwestern countries.\nIt is the mass media which play havoc on our minds.\nNowadays people read less and watch more tv.\nInvestigate other peoples, their cultures, their beilefs and you would be amazed in what a colorful world we truly do live in.\nHappy hunting grounds.

I really don't see that happening, at least not in the forseeable future, because we are too diverse.  Just look at all the religions in this country, to say nothing of agnostics and atheists.  We're a very quarrelsome people and it would, pardon the pun, take an act of God to get us to all agree on something of that magnitude.\n\nI do agree with the person that said there are people in this country now who would do it for Bush (can we say fanatics?) but on the whole, I just don't think it'll happen for eons.

we who are tolerant must be tolerant of those who are not

everyone will stop trippin' over their religious differences and judgin people and just live in peace and help out their neighbor no matter their faith. ...people well stop preaching too. \n\nall this is the only way we'll have peace in the world...oh and quit buying overly processed foods and not realizing that unconscious choices as consumers contribute to the exploitation of many people in the world.

It depends on the countries you go to.\n\nIn places like France for example, religion has little or no effects on politics (in general)\n\nIn places like Italy, religion and politics go together and sometimes get into contraddictions....like in laws about abortion or those to legalize gay marriages and adoptions.\n\nIn many muslim countries Law is Religion and Religion is Law, which is why people can't enjoy a real form of freedom.\n\nAs a matter of fact, if in place like Italy (not only but it's a good example as it is the cradle of catholic christianism) you can RESPECT THE LAW but don't believe in GOD and at the same time you can enter any church without necessarily believing in what it representes, in countries where law is based on religion (Iran, Syria etc) all the above is not possible. Respecting religion equals to respecting the law and vice versa and in view of this there is a lack of freedom.

Many countries are a threat to world peace...depends upon where you live and your opinions of the matter.

The US is supposed to be about freedom of religion.  Sure, you may get people yelling in your face, but at least you don't get thrown in jail anymore for being different.
