You two both make valid points.

1: We should never reject the Old Testament from the Holy Bible, delete anything from God's word or ignore the Jewish foundation of the Christian faith. Yes, we are free from the curse of the Law, but it still stands as a means to condemn and to convict people of sin so that they will put their faith in Jesus, thereby attaining salvation. An understanding of the OT is important to the fullest appreciation of the NT.

2. While we should love all people equally and respect the freedom of belief, we also should not condone or support sin in any way (including idolatory). To us who trust in Christ, Islam is an abomination - there is no way around this, as God is a jealous God who hates idols and blasphemies. Loving Muslims is not the same as respecting Islam.
