It depends on the ideas, the person...

As I said before, my general rule would be "live and let live". I said in normal circumstances my attitude before bigots would be INDEFFERENCE, not a gratuitous provocation. I just ignore them.

But, what happens when bigots' pretension is to breake that rule?. Then it changes everything. That's the heart of the matter. Islam doesn't tolerate the separation between religion and politics. It's not religion "like any other".
