These personalities must be accorded respect i.e. Moses, or Abraham, Jesus, or Muhammad, or God.I have told you many times again and again, Muslims love and respect all prophets of God from Abraham, to Moses, to David, to Jesus to Muhammad peace be upon them all.
So no atheist should discredit these personalities just coz they don't believe in. They should not mock their names coz it does not concern them. Similarly a Christian should respect these personalities even if they don't believe in them. Saying "
What did your Prophet Mohammed ever do to save mankind?" by that lady you quoted perhaps were derogatory. Such words should not be directed at any other religion...

accorded respect yes.. not questioned? NO!
No one can claim to control the thought process in and what someone is likely to come up with at a certain point in time.
Person X may claim that the name Allah refers to a prophet of theirs.
Person Y may say that the name is actually of a very bad spirit in their belief system.
Who knows, may be someone has already been practising such or similar religion but has not gained prominence to be broadcast around the world.
Might they also demand respect.
Just as absolute power corrupts leaders, so does absolute fanaticism blind the people from logic
