In the Holy Qur'an (Surah 2 - The Cow) it says:

VERILY, those who have attained to faith [in this divine writ], as well as those who follow the Jewish faith, and the Christians, and the Sabians - all who believe in God and the Last Day and do righteous deeds - shall have their reward with their Sustainer; and no fear need they have, and neither shall they grieve.

...meaning salvation, in a sense of minimizing self-inflicted kinda-sorta-emotional suffering (not hellish fire - God is merciful).

It goes on to say Muslims should respect all places of worship that are dedicated to the one God.

Even though Jews, Muslims, and Christians all stand in front of the same God, is Islam the only one out of the three that respects the other two, believing they will all achieve salvation despite their differences in beliefs on the small stuff?

The apostle could think fast. See how he handled the following two situations with his quick thinking.

Hamza's daughter was ugly and Mo didn't want her.

Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 37:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
It was said to the Prophet, "Won't you marry the daughter of Hamza?" He said, "She is my foster niece (brother's daughter). "

But Abu's pretty daughter 6 year old Ayesha was also his foster niece by the same token. But Mo really wanted her.

Muslim Book 62, Number 18:

Narrated 'Ursa:
The Prophet asked Abu Bakr for 'Aisha's hand in marriage. Abu Bakr said "But I am your brother." The Prophet said, "You are my brother in Allah's religion and His Book, but she (Aisha) is lawful for me to marry."

and how does your gut feeling on this prove or disprove the notion that belief is less about God than it is a selfish desire to live forever?

I grew up Catholic, and we learned in religion class that this commandment "Honor thy Father and thy Mother" meant we were to always do what they tell us to, and to respect their wishes always.
I never really thought about it much until recently, I just blindly went with that definition.
However, it has came to my attention that this could have several different ways of being interpretted. AND after all these years, I now believe that the word "Honor" in this commandment does not mean to blindly listen to them.
But rather, that in your actions you should honor your father and mother. As in doing good to with hold the family name.
OF COURSE IN MOST CASES the definition I was taught would be implied under this definition as well.
BUT in cases, such as with my family, of abusive parents the def. I was taught caused me alot of confusion growing up.
Realizing now that it just meant the latter. Anyone else have thoughts on this? What were you taught?

I'm new here, enjoying the liveliness of the discussions/answers.
I keep seeing references to Jesus as Savior.
What is it exactly that Christians say Jesus saves us from? Is it only relevant after death? (I don't have any concern about death--never have, think the idea of anything after death a bit silly, to be honest.)

Such as pulling the plug on the machine that's keeping someone alive because they requested it, abortion when you are raped, killing for self-defense, killing yourself when you are in a horrible situation (let's not go into details)?
