I wonder if you realize you insult Christians when you say Islam respects Jesus because it considers Him a prophet. Actually, Christians believe his is the Son of God, not a mere Prophet. So be calling him such you insult me. You also insult me by insisting Mohammed be called a "prophet" when I do not regard him as such.

However, we live in a pluralistic world. I believe you have a right to your opinion, as I have to mine. Let's stop trying to impose our will or feign "respect" for one another. Let's just agree to disagree--and remember, the West is the West. You live here, you should expect to live according to liberal democratic principles, none other.
