Showdown: Christian Man vs. Islamic Woman

Dun. Duuuuuun dun dun DUUUUN.
Despite my humorous take on this I think this is a demonstration of the intolerance that both religions teach. I’ll explain what I think each one of them did wrong.
The Christian guy obviously provoked the woman. He knew he had the crowd around him to back him up if she did anything crazy. From a legal perspective he’s completely in the right. Despite that, he’s still an asshat for doing what he did.
The Islamic woman. Wow. She went nuts. She should have known he was just trying to provoke her and even if she didn’t think about that she should have argued against his argument instead of taking it out on him with a punch to the face and a death threat. That’s not the way to get your points across. Fear and violence is not a characteristic of an argument that has a firm backing.
This was seen at Friendly Atheist and to asnwer the question posed there (What was your reaction to that?): I am so glad I’m an atheist.

That’s my first thought too. And how embarrassing to say you believe the same as either of them!
