Obtaining respect by demanding it is the basic fault we see in those who claim to be "Muslam". The Mu'slam terrorists 'demand' respect by murder, suicide and hate of non Mu'slams. The result is scorn and suspicion of all so called Mu'slams. You are respected simply by being a human being. All human persons are deserving of respect. There is no need to alter the way you look in order to have others respect you. The most important thing is for you is to respect youself. You are deserving of respect, as are all human beings.

If you care for others, and serve others in an attitude of caring and love for all persons, your self respect will grow beyond your greatest expectations and others will be drawn to you. You may be a light to others, why hide your light under a scarf or any thing else?
