Who's labelling who? Who's biased?

If someone stands in front of me and calls me a name, is it not accurate for me to state that the person has just called me a name? Is that
my intolerance?
I don't think so.

Applause greeted these words: "Allah and Jehovah are not the same God ... Islam is a Satanic religion ...We will never be able to understand their (Muslim) mentality ... They're going to attack Israel for certain. ..."
This one is a little harder for the "tolerant" generation. But I firmly do believe that God and Allah are NOT the same God. I also believe that Israel will be involved in a major war against Muslim countries in the not too distant future. Politically it makes some sense, you have to admit.

You probably don't mean that it "makes sense" politically. You probably mean that there is some inevitability of it due to politics. It most certainly does not "make sense" by any measure.

The Bible (again, very old, yet verifiably accurate document) says that in the end times governments all over the world will preach one, unified message - peace.

The Bible is not a "verifiably accurate" document.
Quote:
Everybody will be looking for peace.
A terrible, final war in the region is inevitable.
How can you not agree with this statement?

If everybody is looking for peace why is a "final war" inevitable? Though I suppose if the people in charge of deciding to go to war are also the people that believe it is inevitable, there is certainly a far greater chance that it will take place.
