That is what people don't seem to understand..no one likes intolerance here but the problems also originates from the basic underpinings of the Islamic religion- a Buddhist or a Hindu will say that my god or belief is the best but yes other beliefs are good and acceptable too- there is space for them but personally I find my faith to be the best FOR ME. On the other hand Abrahamic religions put forth the grandiose claim that theirs is the ONLY god..that is where the problem begins since they are defacto stating that all other gods are false idols. So its no longer about your faith being the best one for you but a claim of self-aggrandizement that it is the ONLY faith and everything else is fake. That is the basic and underlying issue that creates friction in societies which have been bred on Dharmic, Buddhist, animist, ancestral worship practices and faiths. For them it becomes a straight up insult. I do not believe anyone of us would be tolerated much less accepted in any Islamic country if we were to proclaim that our's is the only true faith.
From there on it leads to one-upmanship where for them a particular faith must dominate by all means in order to prove some sort of ultimate legitimacy. How does the Bible predating the Quran affect Muslims..how is it even an issue of importance..so much so that it would require a ignoble and absent knowledge declaration like this from an individual?
