"...Insanity: but the Islamic culture makes very insulting remarks against followers of other religions, and even the Quran it self doesn't seem to have a high regard for today's religious scripts of these religions.
bottom line is give respect to get respect...."
Quran according to muslims is the word of Allah and it is mentioned in Quran that the ONLY religion acceptable in the eyes of Allah is Islam.
Truly, the religion with Allâh is Islâm. Those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) did not differ except, out of mutual jealousy, after knowledge had come to them. And whoever disbelieves in the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh, then surely, Allâh is Swift in calling to account. (Aali Imran 3:19)
And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers. (Aali Imran 3:85)
So Quran does not show respect to people who knowingly conceal the truth even though true knowledge has reached them. However Quran is the word of Allah and this disrespect is from him;
However Quran does not give license to muslims to insult OR abuse other religions or people from other faith; rather it mentions the following:
And insult not those whom they (disbelievers) worship besides Allâh, lest they insult Allâh wrongfully without knowledge. Thus We have made fairseeming to each people its own doings; then to their Lord is their return and He shall then inform them of all that they used to do. (Al-An'am 6:108)
Rather it exhorts the muslims to be polite and gracious:
"Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious." Noble Qur'ân 16:125
Hence we need to understand the context and refer to the background of the verse to understand and interpret Quran correctly.
