Not blowing up infidels or passing death sentences for non-belief is hardly the end goal though. Just because there are other factors at work preventing these doesn't mean there isn't a deep hatred still at the core.
I think we have to move beyond mere tolerance of others and into the territory of outright respect, too. And no waiting around to get it first, either. People need to be a lot more willing to give it without regard to it "being earned" if we are to have a future.
