> When you are arguing from the position of other races being lesser than you, you have lost all credibility and nobody is going to listen to you.

Allow me to rephrase: "When you argue from a position that other religions are lesser than you, you have lost all credibility and nobody is going to listen to you."

Everything you've just said applies equally to a literal interpretation of Islamic dogma, to which many Muslims subscribe. So I ask again, as you seem fine with the forceful suppression or expulsion of white supremacists, by parity of reasoning, you must conclude the same result for Muslims or you are special pleading.

So you have one of three choices:

1. Admit your fallacious reasoning that you would like to treat Muslims and white supremacists differently despite having no rational argument justifying this

2. Admit that tolerance of both Muslims and white supremacists is justified.

3. Admit that intolerance of both white supremacists and Muslisms is justified.
