Why should I respect Muslims when they endanger my life and freedom as an ex-Muslim? Why should I respect Muslims when they imprison and kill people like me? Why should I respect Muslims when apostates and critics of Islam wind up dead? Look at the Afghan convert who barely escaped with his life, look at the Azerbaijani writers who were locked up for abusing Muhammad and who the Iranians want dead, look at the Egyptian blogger who was jailed for four years, look at Turkish converts to Christianity who are on trial for defaming Islam and insulting Turkishness! Look at Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Daniel Pearl, Hitoshi Igarashi (he was Japanese!), Salman Rushdie, the Pope, Theo van Gogh! Need I go on? Even Craig David got death threats which he published on his site! Isn't it the way Muslims do things? Don't debate your critics like civilized human beings, shut them up! Every time I try and respect this religion it fails me. So tell me why I should respect the people who do this to me, to my people.
