Islam, the Pope and anger.

I know we've all heard about this by now, but I can't help but wonder why two of the world's major religions (both have aspoused violence at one time or another) can't coexist. But that brings me to a point I'd like to hear from you about. My thoughts seem to always be different when thinking about Islam. Is it possible for it to be patient, loving, and slow to anger---and for that matter, can Christianity be either?

I am a Christian myself. I recently received an e-mail from a friend about the viloence of Islam. They are "commanded by Allah" to kill infidels (those who don't believe in Islam.) Sure there was violence at one time in Christianity, but do you hear of it today?? Christians killing those who don't beleive? No. Should we be tolerant of a faith who is not tolerant of ours?
