Hardly.So one Muslim's response means that all Muslims should be tarred with the same brush?
Definitely.People can believe in what they want.
It's been awhile since they were around. I remember them well in the 1980s. It was an example. Yes, someone getting in your face and refusing to let you by such as an anti-abortion protesters outside of a medical clinic. ..or worse, blowing it up and shooting anyone who goes inside.
Barring gay marriage, barring or severely limiting abortion, drug laws. All have a basis in religion. In the case of the gay marriage ban, it was in conflict with the 14th Amendment.

Hardly.
It just turns out that Islaam, despite a lot of effort to present itself (and to be presented by non-Muslims) as highly heterogeneous, actually is not.
One would expect a lot of variation in any comparable group (well over a billion people and a millenium of history).
But if anything, the actual variation is disappointingly limited, boring even.
They can not, however, expect in good faith that other people will feel any duty to protect or support their beliefs just because.
Particularly, when those beliefs exert other forms of significant demand from other people.
Expectations of privilege, such as blasphemy laws.What do you mean by 'protect or support' here?
Examples?
