Should people be allowed to preach the Quran and the Bible? Pretty sure they are not very tolerant of other religions.

Absolutely yeah: freedom of practicing one's own religion and congregate.

Absolutely no: crusades. Everything between is gray area, some almost black, almost white.

P.S. Quran is surprisingly accepting of christians since they accept jesus as a prophet, but not the son of god/is actually god stuff.

Pity I am not a Christian.

I am far more familiar with the Bible's hatred since I live in a 'Christian country' but I can easily find some questionable quotes from the Quran.

And may punish the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women, and the idolatrous men and the idolatrous women, who think an evil thought concerning Allah. For them is the evil turn of fortune, and Allah is wroth against them and hath cursed them, and hath made ready for them hell, a hapless journey's end.

And so for him who believeth not in Allah and His messenger - Lo! We have prepared a flame for disbelievers.

Allah promiseth you much booty that ye will capture

Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves.

I can see there is no doubt Allah is the Christian God.

I can waste my time and probably find more reprehensible shit, let alone in actual practice and history of Islam (or Christianity). It's pointless if you really believe Christianity and/or Islam are tolerant and not fundamentally systems of manipulation of a unique scale and effectiveness.

Not debating religion good/bad, just pointing out a counterexample. I'm also an atheist.
