He very well might respect Jews more than he is supposed to. I find many individual Muslims I know do. Seems to me they are a watered down version of what Mohammed taught. Shouldn't suprise us, because there are a lot of water downed Jews who don't strive to follow the law of Moses, and a lot of watered down Christians who really don't strive to follow the example of Christ and so forth.

I am glad to hear it. It is hard to know what is in someone’s heart, no matter what they say. For instance the 9/11 bombers, apparently they did not present as Muslim in their behavior.
