Islam's stance on moral boundaries and the vilification of the religion

to having people act within the limits and the confines of what it finds to be moral and good to God. It's the most adhered to, it's the most feared, it's the most respected in most forms. And then also I'd like to think... I would say it's the most feared. Yeah, it's the most feared. But what is respect without fear? Do we respect men we don't fear? If there's a man who could do absolutely nothing to you on any level at all, you might be nice to him, sure, because we're not bad people, but would you really respect him? If you could take his chick in front of his face and set his car on fire, and he wouldn't do a thing, you wouldn't respect him, you might be nice to him because they're not bullies, but you wouldn't respect them. Respect and fear are linked. They're not always the same thing and you can maybe have fear without respect, but it's very hard to have respect without fear. And also I heard someone say once that we see the world as we see ourselves. If you're a thief, you think everyone's a thief. If you're a liar, you think everyone's a liar. And I kind of agree with that, I understood that.
