You're right, this does't 'prove' that Muslims are tolerant and understanding, but we should be encouraging any good behavior that emerges no matter how isolated. We should be holding this up not to the west as an example of the current behavioral trend, but to the Islamic world as an example of how some of their brethren have managed to shake off their old prejudices and integrated more into modern society.
