I don`t see a lot of difference in Islam and Christianity when it comes to intolerance

That's true. I forgot which Islamic cleric it was who said nearly the same about Sharon as Robertson did. If so many religious extremists agree that the stroke was god's work and only have a minor disagreement about for what reason god did it it must be true.

Not to forget the Jewish extremists who performed a solemn death curse regarding Sharon last summer and asked god to kill him. They now openly thank god for listening to them.
