Do Muslims really have a dislike, or even hatred of Christians, or is that just a media-based statement?

Answer 1

Translation of the Quran itself 29:46

And dispute ye not with the People of the Book, except with means better (than mere disputation), unless it be with those of them who inflict wrong (and injury): but say, "We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you; Our Allah and your Allah is one; and it is to Him we bow (in Islam)."

so you can see, this is all media crap that Muslims hate Christians.

"Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loves not aggressors"

We don't want to fight anyone...we are a peaceful people.

Answer 2

I don't think Muslims have dislike, hatred towards Christians. There is no Islamic viewpoint to hate any Christians. It is a propaganda based on some terrorists activities, and yes, massively from media. Remember, no religion nurtures any terrorists, nor even supports. And terrorists have no faith.

Everything is like, how you want to take.

Answer 3

No, this is total media crap. Muslims are encouraged to be friendly to all people of the book / children of Abraham(believing Christians and Jews). Muslims actually have a lot more in common with christians than most christians or muslims realize.

Answer 4

I lived in Saudi Arabia for about a year over twenty years ago and I assure you the media's version of "Muslims hate Christians" is not only an outright lie, it is total nonsense.

As an atheist, if I had to choose a fundie Christian or a fundie Muslim to be my neighbor, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to choose the fundie Muslim.

Fundie Muslims at least try to live by their religion and do not use it as excuse to annoy people who refuse to adopt it.

Answer 5

Do some professed Christians hate Jews? Yes, some Muslims dislike Christians. But not all Muslims hate them, just as not all Christians hate Jews.

Answer 6

i have a friend who is a muslim.i think media really spicing up the stories.The word "Islam" is an Arabic word which means "submission to the will of God". This word comes from the same root as the Arabic word "salam", which means "peace". As such, the religion of Islam teaches that in order to achieve true peace of mind and surety of heart, one must submit to God and live according to His Divinely revealed Law. The most important truth that God revealed to mankind is that there is nothing divine or worthy of being worshipped except for Almighty God, thus all human beings should submit to Him.

Answer 7

you will be surprise if i tell you that the hate comes from the West. not really from the east.

there are muslims and christians neighbors living with each other with peace. they even visit each other often.

read what the Quran says about christians

(christians are tender and merciful)
Quran ch57
[27] Then, We sent after them Our Messengers, and We sent 'Iesa (Jesus) - son of Maryam (Mary), and gave him the Injeel (Gospel). And We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy. But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them, but (they sought it) only to please Allâh therewith, but that they did not observe it with the right observance. So We gave those among them who believed their (due) reward; but many of them are Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).

(the closest one to the muslim believers in love are the christians)
Quran ch5
[82] ...... and you will find the nearest in love to the believers (Muslims) those who say: "We are Christians." That is because amongst them are priests and monks, and they are not proud.

Answer 8

no they don't that is mostly media. there are those that do feel this way as there are christians (KKK) who hate because of ignorance they just do. media is usually responsible for these actions but can not be full blamed a person is responsible for there own actions

Answer 9

no, we dont , christians and jews are 'people of the book", and with islam make up the main abrahamic faith
we respect jesus (peace be upon him) as a prophet

as far as religious tolerance/
from the Qu'ran," to him, his religion, and to me, mine"

it is the job of God to judge man, not ours

Answer 10

I think the muslims who hate christians are the equivilant of christianity's radical bible thumpers... ya know, the type who would kill abortion doctors and such.
