Y do some christians hate muslims, muslims hate jews, and jews hate muslims?

Question

I thought religion was supposed to bring people together?

Answer 1

Ignorance. I am Muslim. I don't hate Christians Jews Hindus Buddhists Athiests because that was am commanded to do according to Qur'an. The good Christians and Jews with the proper knowledge about Torah and Bible do not hate Muslims.

Answer 2

Christianity (and Judeism) has the goal of glorifying God. Islam focuses on a different entity, Allah. Allah is not God and according to the teachings of Christianity, not to be glorified. And with good reason; the glorification of Allah requires copious amounts of violence and bloodshed (a characteristic of paganism, as it happens).
Glorifying God does bring people together; sin and excessive influence by man is what causes the strife that we see. The Muslims don't want to worship God.

I don't think that the Israelis want anything other than to be left in peace and if the Muslims were to leave them alone, we would see little trouble. Consider this: which party has attacked the other more?

As for the Israel vs. Arabia thing, they will never get along.
Perhaps you know who Abraham was. For lack of a better definition, he was the common ancestor of both the Israelites and the Arabs.
God had promised to make Abe 'father of many nations', with an uncountaby large number of descendents. But Sarah, his wife, was sterile, and so he thought that he would give God a hand and having a child through his wife's servant Hagar.
Thus we have Ishmael.
Then Sarah had a child, Isaac, and as a result, Hagar and her son were dismissed so as to prevent competition.
We learn that from that point on there will be strife between the brothers.
Isaac got married and had two sons, Esau and Jacob. These two don't get along well and end up parting ways. Jacob goes on to have twelve or so children and gets his name changed to Israel. You should know the rest.
Ishmael also goes on to start a nation, and they are known as the Ishmaelites. The Bible doesn't follow their goings-on much except for when they invade Israel (which they do quite regularly in the book of Judges and a few others).
In 70 A.D. the Jews ran afoul of the occupying Romans, who proceeded to scatter them to the winds. In the years following, the gap was filled by the Ishmaelites, who remained there up until about 1948, though sometimes under the jurisdiction of other nations. Today's strife is but a continuation of a very, very old bit of sibling rivalry.

Answer 3

Other than what the above poster mentioned, that those religions are too large to not have a few hateful people in them, its the age old conflict of us vs them that devides us. Yes, religion is a divisive force, not one that brings us together. if its between the major faiths in the world, its all of us who will inherit the earth and the other ones can go to hell. if we make the conflict smaller, like in mideval europe, the conflict becomes catholics vs protestants. if the catholics are no longer a significant threat, it becomes anglicans vs quakers or whichever other group is large enough to choose as an enemy of the "true believers." the same thing happened among the jews several thousand years ago. the same thing is still happening among the muslims. people tend to divide into groups and declare holy war against whoever doesnt belive exactly as they do. Also bear in mind that there are a few loud, hateful people that think they speak for the entire group. people also tend to follow these loud people and start conflict.

When people aren't going to war against other cultures because the others are infidels, they are using history to find an excuse to go kill all the infidels.

Answer 4

You are paying too much attention to the liberal news media.
Jews hate Christians only, because of Jesus.
Muslims hate Jews and Christians because of Mohammad.
Christians don't hate anyone.
When Christians or Jews attack Muslims-it is only in response to an attack by Muslims.
Get the facts straight and you will clearly see that the whole problem is Islam (Mohammedanism).

Answer 5

I believe "hate" is too strong a word. It's not the person, in particular, that is at odds. I believe that each of the "faiths" you cited are instructed by the same God. God is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end; God is the Word and the Word is with God. Muslims, Jews, and Christians have very much the same instructions in the Old Testament, the Torah, and the Qu'ran. The differences lie in Jesus Christ, his coming, his death, burial, and resurrection.

Satan wants this to be an issue that divides us. Because the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ slam dunked the devil. Satan has no power over us as long as we accept the gift of Salvation offered to us through the sacrifice of the Lamb of God. Satan knows that if he can keep the power of Christ way, way down in our lives, than he has a foot-hold in temptations, destroying our lives, and keeping us from accepting salvation.

Christ gave us victory over sin and Satan. Now, Satan has to make as confused and blurry as he can the truth---which is Jesus Christ.

Answer 6

Hey LL !

Nice to see you on line !

Well, it's nothing to do with the religions or beliefs - it's the stupid people who go overboard and hate each other. Of they had a little bit of brains, they would look at the roots of their religions and realize that it is the same God they are worshiping. This is like Children of 3 brothers, carrying the same grandfathers name, fighting against each other in the name of their grandfather - Funny they don't realize that they have the same maiden name.

Answer 7

Because religions force people to believe in the religion, not in themselves and in the faith of whatever God that they should believe in. Religions force their particular views on their followers, and in turn, some of those followers become Zealots. The zealots are the ones that "hate" other religions, because they truly feel that they are right, and others are wrong. That is, of course, a simple answer, but I think it covers a lot of bases.

Answer 8

That word HATE certainly is bandied about!

I am a True Christian and I really don't HATE anyone.
(I guess I am sick?)

I firmly believe that only one of the three above mentioned really HATE!

THE BOOK of the True Christians, and THE BOOK of the Jews does not teach HATE towards others.

The other book in many chapters tells followers to not trust, and to convert or kill.

Answer 9

Don't forget about Muslims hating Hindus' and Hindus' hate Muslims.
Simple
Muslims believe that if you don't believe in their religion then you are going to Hell in a handbasket.

Answer 10

Some people are hateful. The religions you mentioned are too large to not have some of those hateful people in them.
