“Expansion and conquest” make one of the pillars of the Islamist
doctrine. For that reason, it requires, and overtly or covertly
struggles for, expanding “rights” in non-Muslim countries.
It is simply futile to expect Islamists to demonstrate a crumb of the tolerance they demand of non-Muslim nations.
Islamists often do not hide it: They love head-count democracy in
lands where they make a majority; and hate it in lands where they are in
the minority. They would crush other faiths, including different sects
and practices of their own faith — or no faith, for that matter — where
they are in power.
In that happy set-up, the intriguing word “tolerance” is nowhere to
be seen. Respect for the minority is too rare a commodity: “This is our
land, we are in the majority, we rule and we rule it as we wish; and if
you don’t like it, go to hell.”
Surprisingly (or maybe not), Islamists happen to become dedicated
warriors of tolerance, religious freedoms, human rights and all other
fancy tags when they live (in their choice of) Muslim-minority
countries. Just imagine what could happen if 1.5 million Israelis lived
in the Gaza Strip bordering a militarily, economically and
technologically mighty, larger, more populous Hamas-ruled Palestinian
state with a Jewish minority. Tolerance and rights for the Jews? Would
you want to be a Jew there?
