This is not about people, it's about ideas, beliefs, ideologies. One can certainly respect people no matter what they believe, but if they believe that you should be dead because you refuse to accept their ideology, then respecting them may not sanely include trusting them very far
I think that's a bit of a dangerous suggestion. It seems to be the political class of the US who want to make Muslims suffer, rather than vice versa. There are plenty of Muslims who are quite as patriotic to the US as Christians are. I don't think that Islam prevents one from being a good US citizen. For example there is the
Council on American-Islamic Relations, a civic rights organization operated by American citizens. These people are concerned with documenting and trying to prevent "unreasonable arrests, detentions, searches/seizures and interrogations". They aren't trying to take over the country, and certainly aren't trying to kill anybody. All they are doing is trying to hold up the US constitution for all of its citizens regardless of religion.
Anyway, i thought you would enjoy the link.
Best wishes,
