I must be a bigot because I am very intolerant of others opinions -

bobby,
Bigoty, imo, is not that a person disagrees with another's opinion.
Rather bigots, are intolerant of another's opinion, to the point, that they will not tolerate another opinion [different to their own POV] being expressed.
e.g.
I do not want to shut down or gag moslems, from expressing what they believe.
Rather the opposite....
I want moslems to honestly express their, and ISLAM's worldview, so that we can all explore what the moslem worldview means to them.
If their philosophy [ISLAM] has merit, why wouldn't they, moslems, want to
OPENLY promote the merits of their philosophy ???
e.g.
How can any of us hold a valid opinion [on any subject, on any issue], unless we inform ourselves ?
If we are uninformed, about a subject, or about an issue, then we are only guided on such matters, by our ignorance.
Yet it is very difficult for ignorant [uninformed] people, to understand their own folly,
