You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
1. Judaism and Christianity. Bible, Leviticus 19.18
Whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them.
2. Christianity. Bible, Matthew 7.12
Not one of you is a believer until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.
3. Islam. Forty Hadith of an-Nawawi 13
A man should wander about treating all creatures as he himself would be treated.
4. Jainism. Sutrakritanga 1.11.33
Try your best to treat others as you would wish to be treated yourself, and you will find that this is the shortest way to benevolence.
5. Confucianism. Mencius VII.A.4
One should not behave towards others in a way which is disagreeable to oneself. This is the essence of morality. All other activities are due to selfish desire.
6. Hinduism. Mahabharata, Anusasana Parva 113.8
Tsekung asked, "Is there one word that can serve as a principle of conduct for life?" Confucius replied, "It is the word shu--reciprocity: Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you."

Your points are valid, however, I would turn it around a little. Why should we respect them, when they do the kinds of things you discuss.
When "they" are willing to respect my/our religion, then and only then will I respect theirs. Currently, you cannot even bring a Bible or Crucifix/religious jewelry into many countries run by Sharia law. If you try, they are confiscated and destroyed.
So, to sum it all up. . . don't care.

A crime is a crime is a crime. Don't generalize what a bunch of evil m***** f****** do and simplify it to fuel more hatred. It has never worked and it won't, just look at the past. Time to move on.
