Instead of mutual respect, we should say toleration. Why should I have respect for someone whose opinions I find so objectionable - John Tyndale (UK fascist leader), Margeret Thatcher, George Galloway, Yusef Islam, etc. - that I feel obliged to speak out against them. For me to "respect" them would be hypocritical. However, I am obliged to tolerate them as they are to tolerate me. The word respect is overused nowadays and is beginning to lose it's meaning - in fact, it has already done so. Take a bow, Non-Respect Party!
