Though Pope John Paul II criticised the Islamic understanding of God for its rejection of Christian teaching on God, he had high praise for Muslims,

“… The religiosity of ‪Muslims‬ deserves respect. It is impossible not to admire, for example, their fidelity to ‪prayer‬. The image of believers in ‪Allah‬ who, without caring about time or place, fall to their knees and immerse themselves in prayer remains a model for all those who invoke the True God‬, in particular for those ‪Christians‬ who, having deserted their magnificent cathedrals, pray only a little or not at all.” – Pope John Paul II

from Crossing the Threshold of Hope

Today many Christians seem unable to show any respect towards Muslims preferring instead to indulge in hate, lies and gross misrepresentation.
