No, it's hypocritical. You can't go about promoting tolerance and acceptance and diversity and political correctness (they all go hand-in-hand) if you exclude certain ideas or groups.

As for the OP, blah. It's the usual islamophobic b/s, any discussion relating to religion's ability to work with modern political beliefs will be frought with errors, misinterpretations and will be forced to descend into the logical view that some religious people are compatible, others not.

The OP assumes that the modern, tolerant society is what must be imposed on the entire world. It's the same kind of Western superiority crap for which so much of the non-western world hates the West.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
