I don't think following the New Testament to the letter is intolerant. I'll take you at your word on Muhammad's last words but he had very few pleasant things to say about Jews & Christians. Jesus on the other hand, was a Jew, he taught peace, he taught acceptance even of your enemies, even when they murder you....I think like most religions people skew the words and meanings....but with Jesus he taught some very good and useful lessons which I wish I could follow better.
