Look at Sri Lanka. The muslim Tamils had a peaceful struggle for 30 years against Buddist oppression, and when they finally got a Tamil into the government, the Buddist monk who was supposed to bless all new members, pulled up a gun and shot him dead.
This sparked the chaos we can see in Sri Lanka right now.
Islam teaches respect towards all people of the book, meaning Muslims, Jews and Christians.
Christianity accepts nobody into heaven, unless he accepts Jesus as his Saviour.
My cult, on the other hand, accepts everybody. Join now!

Only a minority of Tamils are muslim first of all. Secondly, their struggle was by no means peaceful. And about the Buddhist monk assasinating the Tamil member, you're willing to associate that action with his Buddhism, yet on the Tamil murder of Rajiv Gandhi - no comments??
Your cult, Islam, not only accepts everybody, but in fact often resorted to giving the choice between conversion and death. Hmm. I'd hardly call forced conversion by threat of violence the actions of a tolerant religious group.
You suggest joining Islam because, unlike Christianity, it accepts everybody, but just a line above you say that it teaches respect towards just Christians, Jews, and Muslims.
Which is funny considering that the Muslim world and large parts of the Muslim community seem to absolutely despise both Christians and Jews.
