From my own travels and from friends who are Christians in predominately Islamic nations there is no equality or tolerance. Iran says it will destroy Israel and all Jews. Where is the equality and tolerance? The leaders of the Palestinians in Gaza basically say the same thing and they want to have their own state and destroy the state of Israel. If the OIC or anyone else wants an equal and free level of tolerance and speech; then let them mirror that of the US; not the other way around. I am to the point of declaring if you (Islamic nations) don't treat your people of different faith with respect for their life and freedom of religion and freedom from harm by Sharia laws; then we (the United States) will not support you. We have no obligation to let these nations dictate to us how we should treat others in this nation which is founded upon Judeo-Christian values; which are the basis for more freedom and tolerance than any other in the history of the world.
