Rikard, Wahabi Sunni Islam is indeed intolerant of other faiths. Bin Laden shares the puritanical sects extremist views. Indeed, to most Islams, Christians insistance that Christ and God are one and the same is an extreme offense. They also do not believe that Christ (their greatest prophet, greater even than Muhammad) was crucified, and such an idea is abhorrent.

However it goes without saying that most Islamics are not violently seeking to stamp out believers in these ideas. The Taliban and Bin Laden and his ilk are a minority.
