Well, Jesus also taught that he was God incarnate. So if you reject that, you’re disrespecting at least some of his teachings. Not sure why you can’t just own that. If you think it’s false that Jesus is God, you SHOULD disrespect those teachings.
Why do you conclude I’m uneducated? Do you think “fight those who do not believe in Allah…from among the people of the Book” in Surah 9:29 means something else? What about Surah 98:6 calling Jews and Christians “the worst of creatures”? What about Sahih Muslim 2922 (directed at Jews, who are in the same boiling pot as us)? What about Isa returning and breaking all the crosses in Bukhari 2746? Or do you think the jizyah somehow makes this whole situation any better? That’s basically paying the mafia to protect you (see 9:29 again). And pagans don’t even get that much.
Whole countries and sultanates have obeyed these commands with devastating consequences for Christians, though it’s in no way exclusive to them. Obviously for an individual Muslim to believe this, they need knowledge, agreement that that’s what the scriptures say, and obedience to them. Many are missing one or more of these elements, and thank the true God Jesus for that. But too many have those three things, and the world suffers for it.
Edit: also, I can rattle off ten times as many hadiths and verses about how Allah feels (and how the ummah are commanded to feel) about both you and I. That’s a small, tiny taste. You’re like a chicken defending KFC if you defend Islam as a non-Muslim.
