We have separation of religion for a lot of things.

Schools should be too ( only partial now)

This isn’t about separating religion from school. It’s about having sensitivities for peoples way of life. There are a lot of things you wouldn’t be able to get away with outside of depicting Muhammad in art. And none of them related to Muslims.

How sensitive are Muslims to other peoples way of life?

It depends from person to person. Anyone I've met who is Muslim seem incredibly tolerant to me.

Tolerant enough to support an art history professor who showed an image depicting Muhammad?

The ones I know would be, yes. They’d also think it’s odd some people feel the existential need to do it.

As long as it's only thinking people odd.

Not sure if the professor felt existential about it but she said:

“I am showing you this image for a reason. And that is that there is this common thinking that Islam completely forbids, outright, any figurative depictions or any depictions of holy personages. While many Islamic cultures do strongly frown on this practice, I would like to remind you there is no one, monothetic Islamic culture,”

But this case is exactly by people who are not tolerant.

*person. One student complained and that's the reason the original comment advocated deportation. Let's say that we were able to find one person of Christian faith who is intolerant, what country should Christians return to? Does this include a lack of religious beliefs? Where do we send anyone who fails to believe in God, much in the same way as one other person on the planet?

I can show you some places :)

Go for it. Where do you feel we should deport people for the crime of being atheist?

There no crime for being an atheist or Muslim.

Some cultures are just more violent ( eg. Look at fifa world cup and marocco people through Europe).

Are you denying that they are more violent?
