It is WRONG to disrespect a religion based solely on the "principle" that you don't agree with the religion, not if you are an elected official. Wrong.

What about Satanism? That's a religion. How much respect needs to be shown Wicca by Christians? Or other pagan religions?

Besides Islam is more like Nazism ----it's a fascist political ideology at least as much as it is a religion. If Hitler said they were doing what they did out of religious conviction, would we have to then show respect Nazis?

Oh? Does "Satanism" promote the golden rule? You do know that all the world's great religions have some version of the golden rule, don't you?

Does it promote the nuclear family? Selflessness above selfishness?

IOW, does it promote principles that the world's religions typically consider essential?

Ther is as much resemblance between Islam and Satanism as between Christianity and Satanism.
