#1 "...the most important step now is to cease tolerating intolerance."

I agree. I personally am very intolerant of intolerance.

#3 "Thus, if what we see is a clash of civilizations, the responsibility lies in the hands of the extremists on both sides: those who insist, "Yes, we have a right to ridicule God" and those who threaten, "We are going to kill you for it."

A tidy bit of moral equivalence there ... equating ridiculing God through free speech with murdering someone in cold blood. Sort of highlights the whole problem, doesn't it?

I'm obliged to quote Bertrand Russell:

"... I observe that a very large portion of the human race does not believe in God and suffers no visible punishment in consequence. And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence."

#4 "A large portion of the human race" - no, most people either believe in God, a God or gods, andor in the importance of morality and spirituality. Will agree is a "clash of civilizations" as the Radics are essen saying "SURENDER/CONCEDE OR DIE" to both America and the free world. America and the West must accept Socialism and OWG, or be destroyed - ditto for accepting Radical Islam and the Global Caliphate. WE FIGHT AND WIN, OR WE DIE.
