There's a wonderful difference between Jesus and Muhammad.
Jesus suffered, willingly and for our sake, greater shame than any that could now be heaped upon Him; and, He will return with a glory that shall need no defending as His enemies cry out for mountains to hide them, a glory that is now seen dimly in the righteousness and holiness of those who are His own.
Muhammad was completely unwilling to suffer anything for anyone, glorifying himself at every opportunity; and, he will one day at the judgment face a shame that is greater than any that could possibly now be heaped upon him, a shame that is now seen dimly in the wickedness and obscenity of those who are his own.
Should we be concerned about the glory of Christ? Absolutely. Should we glorify Him in everything we do? Without question. How do we respond when others impugn His glory? We cry out with the saints at the altar from Rev 6, "How long, O Lord, how long?" For:
"'Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,' says the Lord."
I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. Philippians 4:11b
