I consider every individual anywhere in the world worthy of my respect until they show me reason not to. That doesn't mean I have to respect certain forms of government or particular religious beliefs. I deeply believe democratic capiltalism as we see in America, Europe and elsewhere is a just and sensible form of government and the sooner the Arab world adopts it the sooner there will be lasting peace in the middle east. This is the 21st century! Monarchies and facist style dictatorships have no business in this day and age. If that sounds disrepectful I humbly decline to apologize.
