Christianity has come a long way, but if you look back at things like the Spanish Inquisition, there was no tolerance at all for anything that was against Christianity. I don't think there were cases like that, but still there was no tolerance at all for Islam or Judaism. Christianity has a long history of trying to force people to become Christian of one kind or another. I think the Extremist Muslims are very wrong, but if we return to the 'bad old days' ourselves, it would be very wrong.
And in reverse, I once knew of a Protestant who wanted to break some statues of Saints that had belonged to his Catholic Mother-in-law, who had died, because the Bible says something about 'smashing idols'. To me that would be wrong, no matter what somebody thinks of a religious practice.
