JESUS IS MORE RESPECTED THAN MUHAMMAD BY NON-MUSLIMS BECAUSE HE SPOKE ABOUT LOVING YOU NEIGHBOR, WHEREAS WE ARE TOLD MUHAMMAD SAYS THAT IF THEY DO NOT DO WHAT YOU WANT JUST CUT OFF THEIR HEADS.. Jesus Spoke About Love But Not All People Who Are Not Muslims Are Christians, Because Many Are Hypocrites You Make Believe That Are Followers Of Lord Jesus Christ. Apparently, even non-Christians respect Jesus Christ more than Muhammad, but let's face it only one man was born of a Virgin--something that is written in the Koran as well as the Bible.

Why do most people who are not Christians or Muslims, respect Jesus but revile Muhammad?

There are millions of people who are not true Christians but agnostics who admire the teachings of Jesus in respect to loving one’s neighbor as oneself.

Some atheists think loving one’s neighbor is a novel idea, too. Atheists do not believe that Jesus died on the Cross and rose from the dead.

Neither do agnostics believe that Jesus died on the Cross and rose from the dead. Agnostics believe a Creator exists but does not interfere with the affairs of humans.
Muhammad is not thought of as highly as Jesus by many non-Christians or non-Muslims because he preached totalitarianism.

Atheists, who are totalitarians, are in agreement with Muhammad. They think that the only way to run the world is to subdue everybody by force rather than appeal to their better judgment through acts of loving-kindness.

Researcher Eustace Mullins wrote that the Cato Institute gave a two year grant to the economist Murray Rothbard:

• to write a book, "For a New Liberty", which says, "Before World War II, so devoted was Stalin to peace that he failed to make adequate provision against Nazi attack." Rothbard should have said, "So devoted was Stalin to murder that he killed most of his Army officers, leaving him vulnerable to Nazi attack." Rothbard asserts that the U.S. is imperialist and war-mongering, while the Soviet Union is peace-loving, rational and misunderstood! —The World Order: Our Secret Rulers (2nd ed) - p250.

Interestingly, the Soviet Union was supporting Muslim nations in those days that Communism was suppressing the people of Russia and other members of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The political ideology of atheistic communism and that of Islam has much in common. Subjugation of people by force is the rule, not an exception. There is no appeal to reason so people may weigh up the facts of whether serving Muhammad’s God is better than following Lord Jesus Christ.

The reason why many people do not revile the prophet Muhammad is because of events that take place, such as what happened at the offices of Charlie Hebdo (Paris, 7 January, 2015), where 11 people were shot dead and 11 were wounded, because Stéphane Charbonnier used satire to ridicule the prophet. Those shot dead were:

• Frédéric Boisseau, 42, building maintenance worker for Sodexo, killed in the lobby as he sat at the reception desk, first victim of the shooting.

• Franck Brinsolaro, 49, Protection Service police officer assigned as a bodyguard for Charb.[69]

• Cabu (Jean Cabut), 76, cartoonist.

• Elsa Cayat, 54, psychoanalyst and columnist.[70][71] The only woman killed in the shooting.[72]

• Charb (Stéphane Charbonnier), 47, cartoonist, columnist, and director of publication of Charlie Hebdo.

• Philippe Honoré, 73, cartoonist.

• Bernard Maris, 68, economist, editor, and columnist.[73][74]

• Ahmed Merabet, 42, police officer, shot in the head as he lay wounded on the ground outside.[75]

• Mustapha Ourrad, 60, copy editor.[76]

• Michel Renaud, 69, a travel writing festival organiser visiting Cabu.[77]

• Tignous (Bernard Verlhac), 57, cartoonist.[78]

• Georges Wolinski, 80, cartoonist.[79]

Many people have no qualms about reviling Lord Jesus Christ because they think that there are no consequences. Yet they feign respect for Muhammad because they fear for their lives.

On the other hand, people do not say that they respect Muhammad because of the way he demonstrated how he cared for people, healed the sick, spoke about feeding the hungry, giving people freedom, and did not advocate killing those who disagreed with him and his message.

The murderers who killed the 11 people at the offices of Charlie Hebdo think they are going to Heaven to be entertained by virgins. Acts like this cause non-Christians and non-Muslims to abhor Muhammad and those who follow him.

This is why Seneca said that religion is for the stupid, the wise know it is false, and those who rule understand that this is a way for subjugating the masses. Marx also claimed that religion is the drug for those who have nothing because it promises pie in the sky, or something to that effect.

The Bible says that murderers go to eternal punishment. And oddly enough, Muhammad advises that all should follow what is written in the Bible, for this came from God.

• And We sent, following in their footsteps, Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming that which came before him in the Torah; and We gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light and confirming that which preceded it of the Torah as guidance and instruction for the righteous. (Sura 5:46)

The Prophet Isaiah said that those who do not speak according to the Law and the Testimony do so because they have no light in them (Isaiah 8:20). Jesus not only spoke according to the Law and the prophets, but demonstrated how to fulfill what they spoke about. This was epitomized when Jesus uttered on the Cross, “Father forgive them for they do not know what they do.”(Luke 23:34) Because of this many people admire Lord Jesus Christ, even though they do not believe that he rose from the dead.

Forgiving those who defame, ridicule, whip, bruise and crucify one is not easy to do. That kind of love could only come from God.

To forgive and not be filled with hate enables a person to enjoy life and not be consumed with evil thoughts against another person.
