This isn't a question as to whether or not believers should have compassion on the lost. It's a question about the various religions that are contrary to the God of the Bible.
We should probably start with "should Christians respect 'you' "? I'll start......no.
�Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.�
Western Christianity hasn't done the world many favors.
Watered down Christianity probably hasn’t but solid fundamentalist Christian beliefs are the building blocks of most of what’s shaped the Western world. Most of today’s problems are the product of a lack of Christian social norms not a product of them.
Put another way. As we’ve moved towards being a mostly secular society do you believe that American society has become increasingly better or worse off?
I went to an Episcopalian parochial school for 6 years where there was a mix of kids from all walks of life. I was taught to respect others beliefs as I would like them to respect mine. It has worked well for me in many aspects in life other than religion. One did not have to agree or accept another's belief but as long as it wasn't directly injurious to others, giving a little respect never caused me lasting harm.

You have openly savaged other Christians in your posts Over the last year. Maybe you could work on that before posting about respect for other religions.
Your admonitions are quite hollow. Hollow to the point that you cast no shadow here.

I can respect others too without even knowing their religion. The video in the link I'm pretty sure is less than one minute. It poses a perspective that I think is a biblical one. Many cultures are not nearly as inclusive as American cultures.
What you call "savage" is simply responding to the massive attacks from your ilk. You would love nothing more than for this Bible believing Christian to go into this battlefield unarmed. If you don't want to be "savaged" as you put it, then maybe you should learn to not throw unsubstantiated and baseless accusations.
