Bismillah
CC before u go, I think u contradict yourself, really, how can u openly express that u respect Muslims while u disrespect their Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam?
We are Muslims, as u respect us, because we are constantly trying to follow what the message he was sent with from Allah. Thus, if u respect Muslims, it is implied that u do respect Mohamed prayer and peace be upon him. We are who we are, just like Nasra told u, because we are trying to follow his teachings. I think I just re phrased wael's statement, but just to stress this point.
Wael, he is here to meet his followers because he wanted to learn more. We cannt tell people why are coming to meet us if u dont belive in Islam.
