If we have to remember this, then perhaps you could provide some examples. Honestly, I can't think of any ways in which Muslims show their respect for us.
Until last year, I lived in one of the most Islamic towns in America. Several of the 9-11 bombers spent their last night there.
My son played with a Muslim boy every day, right up until the boy turned 12 or 13. On that day - the day he became "a man," I assume - he was no longer allowed to associate with any of the neighborhood's non-Muslims.
I hired a Muslim security expert. He was a good worker and cordial enough, but he skipped all of the department luncheons and company events. I'm afraid I couldn't call him a friend.
Islamic terrorists have attacked both America and many other western countries. They haven't apologized. They may feel that THEY didn't do it so they don't need to apologize, but I also have never heard any prominent Muslim condemn the terrorists. When Muslims blow up or behead westerners, the best I've heard from supposedly "westernized" Muslims is silence. The worst I've heard is defense for the attacks.
That is the Islam that *I* know.
