During my childhood, I learned of the Prophet Muhammad's life in religious studies classes, and I was acquainted with some of his teachings. Later on during my undergraduate years, while working in Tehran's psychiatric hospitals, I had an eye-opening experience when I met a couple of schizophrenic patients who claimed to be the Messiah.

Don't blame the messenger... Unless you're talking about Muhammad, who is to blame for the horrors of Islam. I'm merely telling you about reality. Don't like it? DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT and change not how the world perceives the horrors done in the name of Allah but change how the animals act and stop them from committing horrors in the first place.

concerning religion we are often told to respect others beliefs. many people think islam is not respectable?

just curio

because of the violence many worshipers carry out in the name of allah. i think they have a great point. i would say the exact same thing about christianity. there has been no greater barrier to social progress and scientific understanding than the ignorance of that faith in america. why would i respect any belief that hinders my life so greatly?

I know there are many bad actions done by Nowaday Muslims ..Just Remeber Islam is a thing and Muslims are something else
if Muslims are not applying what Islam calls for , this is not the fault of Islam .....

Islam Does Teach Tolerance and respect :

The tolerance of Islam was factor in the spread of Islam. The British historian Toynbee praises this tolerance towards the People of the Book after comparing it with the attitude of the Christians towards Muslims and Jews in their lands. (A Historian's Approach to Religion, p.246) T. Link attributes the spread of Islam to the credibility of its principles together with its tolerance, persuasion and other kinds of attractions. (A History of Religion) Makarios, Orthodox Patriorch of Antioch in the seventeenth century, compared the harsh treatment received by the Russians of the Orthodox Church at the hands of the Roman Catholic Poles with the tolerant attitude towards Orthodox Christians shown by the Ottoman Government and prayed for the Sultans. (T. Link, A History of Religion)

The Muslim's attitude towards the people of the conquered lands is quite clear in the instructions given by the rightly-guided Caliphs :
---->Always keep fear of God in your mind; remember that you cannot afford to do anything without His grace. Do not forget that Islam is a mission of peace and love. Keep the Noble Prophet before you as a model of bravery and piety. Do not destroy fruit-trees nor fertile fields in your paths. Be just, and spare the feelings of the vanquished. Respect all religious persons who live in hermitages or convents and spare their edifices. Do not kill civilians. Do not outrage the chastity of women and the honor of the conquered. Do not harm old people and children. Do not accept any gifts from the civil population of any place. Do not billet your soldiers or officers in the houses of civilians. Do not forget to perform your daily prayers. Fear God. Remember that death will inevitably come to everyone of you some time or other, even if you are thousands of miles away from a battle field; therefore be always ready to face death. (Andrew Miller, Church History
