Grendel what's wrong with putting your brother's welfare before your own? Is that wrong?
That doesn't imply in the slighest that there is lack of respect for non-Muslims, it just says to put the needs of your brother before yourself (to perfect your faith). Like I put the needs of my children before myself... Must I put the needs of your children before myself? Of course not, I have no responsibility whatsoever to do so.
I really can't see what you'd find detestable about that??? Then again, I must admit I don't understand most of your views/sentiments grendel, so that's not that strange.
abu,
You are mistaken.
Kuffar, are kuffar.
And unbelief is inexcusable.As a good muslim, you must know this.
Yes?
That
unbelief is inexcusable, is what ISLAM and Sharia, teaches to all devout muslims.
Koran,
"....those who reject (Allah),- for them is destruction, and (Allah) will render their deeds astray (from their mark).
....
those who reject Allah have no protector."

FURTHER,
The Hadith states that muslims and non-muslims are
not to be afforded the same respect
by muslims, and by Sharia.
There is a definite [and 'justified'] 'separation' within Sharia jurisdictions, in the treatment of muslims, alongside kuffar.
FOR EXAMPLE....
"The legal regulations of Diya (Blood-money) and the (ransom for) releasing of the captives, and the judgment that no Muslim should be killed in Qisas (equality in punishment) for killing a Kafir (disbeliever)."
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/083.sbt.html#009.0...NOTE the words....
".....no Muslim should be killed in Qisas (equality in punishment) for killing a Kafir (disbeliever).""What is written in this paper?......the judgment that no Muslim should be killed for killing an infidel."
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/052.sbt.html#004.0...NOTE the words....
"....the judgment that no Muslim should be killed for killing an infidel."The meaning here is pretty clear, and is unambiguous....
1/...Unbelief is inexcusable.2/...Muslims are innocent [next to kuffar].Further confirmed,
The blood of an unbeliever may be spilled by a muslim, without consequence.....
The Hadith,
'[whoever] becomes an unbeliever, his blood may legally be spilled....'"Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Prophet said: "The bare essence of Islam and the basics of the religion are three [acts], upon which Islam has been established. Whoever leaves one of them becomes an unbeliever and
his blood may legally be spilled. [The acts are:] Testifying that there is no God except Allah, the obligatory prayers, and the fast of Ramadan."...."

And as Grendel has pointed out, the 'Golden Rule' [i.e. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.] does not apply for muslims in their treatment to kuffar, but only applies to their own fellow muslim 'brothers'.
That does not mean of course, that muslims have not, on occasion, behaved kindly towards non-muslims.
....but acting
as muslims?
