and intolerance

So a christian like everybody else can be tolerant and be OK!
Hence as long as one is tolerant they are not a bigot (not a "full" one anyway).
So a statement like;
I dislike muslims and can tolerate their presence as long as they do not try to convert everybody around them.
No bigotry intended at all.
