They do in America. For example, the cultural and community center moderate Muslims were trying to re-establish in NYC. Which was greeted by some Americans as the hated "ground zero mosque", and where those moderates were threatened by hate and being offed by some. Sad.

In Egypt the Muslim and the Christian populations get alone well, and respect each other. When Mubarak's policemen were sent in to attack the protesters and newsmen for those 48 hours, the Christians formed rings around the Muslims as they stopped to pray in public, to protect them from attack while they prayed.
