Kumar, Nice message. All of us need to ne tolerant and understanding. To justify not being tolerant citing other groups' intolerance is cyclic and injustifiable. If a person's faith preaches tolerance and he abandons it, it is as good as he abandoned his faith (though that is not why I would prefer anybody to choose tolerance. I think tolerance should be chosen just because it makes more sense).
As for red indians, I think it is more a case of violence than an attempt to convert. Here at Rediff, nobody is wanting to harm anybody, just trying to convince themselves and others that their belief system is the best. So its better to have a constructive criticism/discussion to promote understanding than going hammer and tongs abusing each other and losing temper.
