    Respect is a reflection of ones deeds, attitudes and believes and needs to be earned and can't be appointed, patronized or whatsoever.

    Show me what you respect and I'll tell you who you are.

    In case you run around murdering, stealing, robbing, lying and so on, would you still expect that?

    You see, you just can't pop into a discussion without telling more about yourself.

    You can't respect anybody's ideas if you don't know them, I can't respect anybody's idea if I don't know them.

    so this why, respect has to be earned.

    you are right sure.

    but if you and your ideas stay in your frontiers and dont harm me then I would respect you.

    Such as religious ideas.Those are not harmful.Everyone has right to believe something someone or Allah or not to believe.

    At least holy things should be respected.

    Good brain washing always says that you can't be a Christian and think or be intellectual.

    The same brain washing includes - science and the Bible can't mix.

    Then some idiot will come out screaming something about dinosaurs disprove the Bible.

    :D

    The problem is that he doesn't even know what being an intellectual means, so he just desperately follows the trends and what he thinks being an intellectual should look like. ;)

    Somethings never change, you were kissing ass there and now kissing ass here. ;)

    seems to be a common misunderstanding from many countries. Many of the hardcore muslims on this forum assume that all of america is Christian somehow, when you can't even be born a Christian. It is a personal choice.

    So I am assuming you think that a name represents a persons believe in Christianity? I know the term "christian name" is used for pretty much every english name. There was a time when people did change their names when they became a Christian but I believe that was short lived.

    I don't see a lot of poor behavior from Christians, Buddists, Hindu's, Sikh's, etc...

    Every group has its bad actors, but with Islam poor behavior appears to be:
    1. Taught in the "holy books"
    2. Taught in the churches
    3. Taught in the church schools
    4. Accepted by a significant percentage of the believers
    As an atheist, Islam really does -- to my eyes -- appear to be a different sort of religion.

    They are worse than soccer fans. :cool:

    Ughh... not this Dar Al-Islam and Dar Al-Harb argument again.

    This argument dooms all those who are born in the wrong geography to living in a totalitarian hell.

    Religious ideas can be very harmful. Religious ideas are what brought down the World Trade Centers. Religious ideas are what destroyed Beiruit, once the most beautiful vacation spot in the Middle East. Religious ideas kill people every single day.

    This is heresy against Islam.

    Why? Why should I respect anything that is stupid? Why should I respect murder? Why should I respect honor killings? Why should I respect evil?

    Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

    World Trade Centers are brought down by your own "George Bush" as its now proved to be the "Inside Job" and no Religion is going to support that.

    this is not "Beiruit" but "Beirut". Anyhow, for the war against Labanon, You mught be asking some Israeli or a Jew.

    No Respect against Murder, Its against every Religon, Even in ISLAM.

    Its against Islam .. Its against Islam .. Its against Islam ..
