We give respect

Well let me tell you something, Islam teaches us to give respect towards other people and their religion, so don't you tell me that Muslims don't give respect to people. It's just that when we do give respect to people and their religion we deserve something back, unfortunately we don't get anything back because people believe that all muslims should get back is hatred, disrespect because we are "terrorists". We do give respect it's just that when you see us giving respect you turn a blind eye towards the muslim community. Go and learn to give respect to yourself and other people's faith.
