IT IS HARD TO LIKE A GROUP OF PEOPLE THE PROMOTE TERROR AND GET THEIR THRILLS ON BEHEADING PEOPLE !!!\n\nTHESE ACTIONS ARE INHUMAN AND JUST UNACCEPTABLE !!!

Its because they know almost nothing about a group of people, people who don't understand people either try to understand people or choose the easier rout and simply hate them.  Mostly they don't want to understand these people because even before they know anything about these people, they feel threatened or scared.  Whether it be because the threat of lost jobs, terrorism, or something else.  Hate is just the easier path despite it not being the better one, and as for War its the larger scale of that hate.

That is a great question I've been trying to answer for a long time. \n\nHere's what I suspect. \n\nHatred usually stems from one of two primary causes, fear and ignorance. Anger can also play a key role in hatred. \n\nPeople who hate usually hate because they are fearful of those they hate, and/or they are ignorant of those they hate. \n\nFear is a powerful motivator. It can be used by political leaders to coerce masses of people to hate other groups. This is usually the case where you see regional groups of those who hate. \n\nFor example, the Ku Klux Klan. Why do they hate those who are different? They grow up in a culture that is ignorant and fearful. The ignorance and fear is utilized to reinforce their bigoted world view. It's perpetuated by regional culture. \n\nThe trick to dispelling it, is to insure that people are educated and exposed to the truth of things. \n\nSo, I would say the level of hate in people's hearts is rooted in fear and ignorance.\n\nOn the plus side, I think most people want peace. So there is hope for the human race. We just have to be able to look past our fears and ignorance. \n\nBottom line all people basically want the same things. Why fight with each other, when we can work together for our own mutual benefit?

I hate that this has been my experience, but I can only tell you what I have experienced.  I don't know many Muslims in my everyday life, but the ones I know are good people, and I can't even imagine that they would hate Jewish people, or hate anyone.  But, like I say, I don't know many Muslims.  I am interested in religion, and I sometimes go to various religious chatrooms.  Almost ANY time I have ever gone to a Muslim chatroom, I have found people expressing intense hatred of Jewish people.  Of course, chatrooms do not tend to bring out the best people, for whatever reason.  So I'm hoping that this is just some sort of abnormal thing.\n\nBut quite honestly, I HAVE seen a lot of Islamic websites that have insults about Jewish people.  As you point out, these are not following the way of Islam.  Ok, and one last little tidbit is that there was a locally well-known doctor's office in my area where there was a Muslim doctor and a Jewish doctor who worked together.  They absolutely hated each other and this was plain to see.  I'm sure it was over some differences in medicine or something, but people just make assumptions.

I don't beleive that people think all Muslims are bad.  I am a Jew, and I know a number of very nice Muslims.\n\nIt's just that people are very angry at the Islamists, and instead of using that term, just find using the term Muslim easier.  I also feel that if more moderate Muslims would denounce the acts of the Islamists in public, they would find a lot more sympathy from the non-Muslim world.

Islam and Muslims are not particular to this kind of reaction and behavior.\nThere are intolerant Jews, Christians, Hindus, in fact in every religion you would find some intolerant people when their religion is attacked by inconsiderate and vile people.\nSome Muslims are easily offended when Western Christians use crude words like Muzzy, attack Allah out of Ignorance,thinking that Allah is a person and especially when such uneducated persons attack the sacred personage  of Prophet Muhammad ( Peace be upon him) and his wife Aisha ( Peace be upon her).\nWhat would amaze you also is that Muslims are equally incensed if Jesus, Moses, Abraham and the Prophets of God ( peace be upon them all) are wantonly attacked by vile and wicked people.\nIt is but natural to defend their belief.\nMuslims do not find pleasure in attacking the God (s) and Prophets (peace be upon them) and religions of other people and civilization.\nThis is what make Muslims so distinct and more civilized than other people\nPeace be upon him who accept true Guidance.

No, what we hate is fanatics who cause countless deaths like Sept 11th and the London underground and bus bombing.\n\nMy Muslim neighbour was crying his eyes out a few weeks ago asking me 'what's going to happen to my children, we don't want to hurt anyone.' I love my neighbour and other Muslim friends to bits and don't care if they're Muslim, Jewish or a green man from outer space.

People have been brainwashed to think Muslims are bad. Only if those people could see past the cloak of media, then they'd know what's up, but unfortunately, they can't. It's not a certain religion, race, or group that's bad; it's an individual(s) who did bad thing(s). It's just a cruel world out there, dude, a cruel world. Some people just can't let others live in peace.

i believe u mean why are people so racist...there are several reasons why people can be racists like if they think their racial group is superior to another or stereotypes for that ethnicity or someone may discriminate because they are not of the same religion...for example african americans face much racism because of certain stereotypes that exist...racism is wrong and should be stopped

Primarily it's because there are many people across the entire religious and non-religious spectrum that cannot accept that people are different and for whatever reason feel the need to attack those who are different then they are.\n\nAlso, those who have been attacked seem to enjoy attacking others in turn.\n\nAll we can really do though is to support and defend those who are reasonible, respectful and kind and report any and all who want to disrespect, attack and redicule them.\n\nSuch a pity, such a pity.

Well, why do muslims hate Americans and they don't even know who they are? :) \n\n1st off, that's generalizing. \n\n2nd off, at least we don't have big huge billboards and signs everywhere saying "Down with (insert muslim country here)!" like they do in Iran about the U.S.A. \n\nAnd lastly, I have no problem with muslims. Only the fanatics that decide to blow themselves up and fly planes into buildings.

While there are American people that heat or hate all Muslims, most don't.  Making that generalization is the same as saying that all Muslims are terrorists.  It implies racism at worst and ignorance at the least.

I am a Muslim and I agree that it was carried out by Muslims, I just do not like the fact that people are stereotyping ALL MUSLIMS as evil terrorists. I see that every answer or question you have is about Islam? You are showing hate for ALL of us and it is not fair

Those people are utter scum. Islam is full of it. Notice how every time someone says that Islam is the religion of violence, they protest with violence and shout for beheadings - for been called violent. Now we'll be both labeled as ignorant because we don't bend over for Islam.\n\nThe fact that people can thumbs down you is disturbing. I'd give you thumbs up if I weren't a mere Level 1 user.\n\nNow the Extremely Annoyed Kitty

It seems to be human nature to hate those who are different from us. I guess my advice is to show them that you don't need to believe in God to be a good person. Do volunteer work maybe. Or an easier solution would be to ignore them.

Fear and ignorance is the root of most discrimination.  \n\nBTW you can not be racist based on a religion.  Racism means you are biased against people of a certain race.  It would be racist if someone thinks that all Arabs are terrorists.  It is religious discrimination if you think that everyone going to a mosque is a terrorist.
