It is thus clear that the Prophet of Islam preached and propagated a demeaning, hateful, intolerant and violent doctrine towards the infidels as his alleged revelation of God and he put them to practical application in his life-time. Those revealed verdicts of the Koran remains relevant for all time and are the cause for the Muslims failure to respect the Western cultures and assimilate in those societies. Same edicts also led them to mistreat and violate their non-Muslim minorities anywhere in the Muslim world. Muslim youths' tendency to rape the women in the Western countries also emanate from the standard set by the prophet with verdicts from the Koran. The series of rapes of white girls in a Sydney neighborhood by Lebanese youth in 2001 is one such example.

In the light of what the Prophet of Islam had preached against the infidels as eternal edicts, it is extremely unreasonable to expect that the people of Western Europe and non-Muslims in general would be able to show unqualified respect for such a man. Showing respect to him amounts to agreeing that the Western infidels are the worst beast, the wrongdoers, deceivers and liars, minions of devils and not worthy of keeping friendship with the Muslims. By showing unqualified respect to the Prophet, the Westerner agree that the Muslims should fight them, kill and slew until they become Muslims or are subdued to humiliation and dhimmitude and pay Jizyah taxes. By showing any respect to the prophet of Islam, the Western infidels agree that the Muslims should capture their women after they have been defeated and those women serve as sex-slaves to their Muslim captors.

As condemnation, censorship and apology against the publication of the caricatures of Prophet Muhammad in the Danish and other European papers pour in from all corners of the world including from the US and UK , the Westerners and the non-Muslim world must reflect on how they should regard the Prophet of Islam. The responsibility also lies on the Muslims to reflect as to how the Westerners should regard their Prophet under the light of what the prophet had preached against them. If the world (both Muslims and non-Muslims) fail to determine the right regard that is due to the Prophet of Islam, especially from the non-Muslim world, the many problems that afflict the Muslim-nonMuslim relationship (both in the West and the Muslim-dominated countries) will continue to exist and cause misery and sufferings to humankind.

It is unlikely that a proper reflection would sink in amongst the Muslim people of the world. Under such a situation, it is the non-Muslims, who must make proactive effort to determine their due regard to the Prophet of Islam. Else, it might well turn out that when Muslims numerically dominate in the West in 20-50 years, they might well be turned into dhimmis in their backyard. Let us remember the kind of strain Muslims have inflicted on their lifestyle and society when they form only a small minority (1-5%) in the West. Western world must learn from the fact that non-Muslim minorities are virtual dhimmis in Muslim countries (including Malaysia , Pakistan , Saudi Arabia and Iran ) as per the Koranic injunctions, despite the external pressure for respect of human rights and the demand of the modern civilized world. When Muslims dominate the West, their fate will not be any different.

On the theological consideration Muslims expect unqualified respect for their prophet, the Westerners and indeed, no human being can show any respect for him on the same theological consideration. Let the civilized world take a stand against the violent, hateful and filthy teaching of the alleged prophet of Islam. Let us not validate the barbaric cruelty, torture and murder which the prophet of Islam had committed in the name of alleged revelation from God. Let us take a stand for the respect and dignity of those women who became the victim of barbaric rapes by the Muslims, including the prophet Muhammad himself. Let us also take a stand for saving the good future of our world by asking the Muslims to lift themselves to the standard of today's civilized world. Else the future of our world, which is so desperately dependent on the non-Muslim world, especially on the West, could well face a doom as the Muslims poise to dominate the entire West in numbers in 20-50 years.
