Rabbi-Sol I believe you are a good man, obviously dedicated to your cause. It is the Christian way to look for good in others, to Love Thy Neighbour, I don't come close to doing that all the time. But I try. I bet you are the same way. I don't know the Torah as such but I am familiar with the Bible. I don't recall that philosophy being put forth in the Old Testament. But I still think you probably share it. I understand that you may not share my principles I am sorry if I spoke to harshly, I was trying to be clear. Since I cannot go back and edit, please take what I have said as poorly worded questions rather than the insults or challenges they may seem to be.
Here is a speech from a Moslem Cleric, I think it answers your question about their respect for human life. Perhaps you saw the sermon the same time that I did. Maybe at the time you cried a little like I did and thought "There is hope after all."
