Be like Muslims

Bill Cosby was quoted to have said:

I am a Christian. But Muslims are misunderstood. Intentionally misunderstood. We should all be more like them. They make sense, especially with their children. There is no other group like Muslims, who put so much effort into teaching children the right things:

* They don't smoke
* They don't drink alcohol
* They protect their women
* They command respect

What do you think of this statement?  Would you agree with him?

Is Cosby an expert in such matters for this statement to be taken as a fact?

Why do you think Muslims are "intentionally misunderstood"?  Or are they just misunderstood, howbeit unintentionally?  Or perhaps understood correctly?

Is this a plot to draw people to consider converting to Islam?

Do you think Muslims behave well?  Do they really not smoke, not drink alcohol, protect their women and command respect as what Cosby said?  Are these really virtues?  Do they teach their children these things?

Do these characteristics represent all Muslims? Or just some of them?  Do non-Muslims uphold such values also?

I am not saying that Cosby is wrong.  I am just surprised to see  that a web page puts such emphasis on what he said.  I am not sure if Muslims are really misunderstood or that Cosby's description is right.  I think that Christians should respect Muslims, and vice-versa ... but we should believe and serve the One True God and not be taken in by words of respect that may turn out to be deceptive.

What do you think?
