who spread most of the hatred in the world today?

Question

And what is the role of religious teachers and politicians in it

Answer 1

"The most violent element in society is ignorance." Emma Goldman

Any person who is a leader in a community and fails to teach tolerance and appreciation of diversity is responsible for hatred.

Answer 2

I would say humans did. People come up with ideas and we each decide on which ideas we will believe and which we don't. But once we decide we do so because we think that is the most logical choice with the proper reasoning behind it and when someone says we are wrong it makes us angry (usually anyway) because we don't understand how they could not come up with the same answer. "I believe in Jesus" "Well I believe in Allah" "Who said there was a God at all?" "Bush is a dictator" "Bush is trying to save us" and so on.

Everybody is trying to do the right thing but we are imperfect (no matter what reason you believe in for our imperfection is rather irrelavent, it does exist) and so we don't always get it right or we go about it the wrong way when we try to show others. Then we make it personal and hatred is born. More or less it is just human nature, but if we try we can fight that instinct (most just don't want to try).

Answer 3

The smaller the world becomes, the more narrow the view of our religious teachers and politicians.

"I do not consider it an insult, but rahter a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure..." Clarence Darrow, Scopes traial, 1925

Answer 4

Humans spread most of the hatred in the world today. They are not exempt from the role, and neither is any other human, living or dead.

Answer 5

It's all spread by politicians--people who are trying to ge other people for follow them. Some of them masquerade as religious teachers. Most of them pretend to be doing God's will.

Answer 6

Islamic extremists - defying the Koran is a sin in of itself and the majority of Islam is against them because of that. The current US & Britian administrations by imposing the wests vision of democracy versus diplomatically measuring and employing tactics that could be measured to fit with a particular regions demo and phsycographics. Look at Palestine. Hamas politicians were democratically elected to their parliment but then the west defies them because they don'y fit their vision of the direction of Hamas.

Answer 7

Anyone who turns reality into the supernatural is spreading hatred. When you turn a real wrong into "Evil" instead of a problem with a real solution, you support hatred and killing in the name of evil.
Also tuning a "wrong" into "Sin", accomplishes the same effect, except it becomes self loathing. Which also produces hate and revenge.

Answer 8

while there can be polarization
noted between faiths today,

in the forefront are mullahs who
in their place of authority,
educate young people to hate and kill with the promise of maidens and drink in paradise.
to incite mass murder of innocent people
and send the perpetrators , in reality, not to paradise,
but to hell.

look at the world today,
9 out of 10 places where there is trouble,
it involves radical muslim fundamentalists
with very warped views on things.

the muslim faith is a beautiful religion,
when practiced with piety, just as any faith should be.

the problem is the religion is being hijacked by
evil people who do not call out in the thename of god
but satan.

as a christian, it appears the world is approaching
the time of the anti - christ.

politics and religion do not mix.
where they do , there is conflict.

Answer 9

Satan.

Good religious teachers try to teach tolerance and love for everyone. In my view, most politicians are fake and just tell people what they want to hear. There are a view good ones but not many.

Answer 10

The real battle is not in our flesh, but in the spirit. If you want to know the source behind the hate that exist today you can start with Lucifer/satan, fallen angels/ demons, and the fall of man. We humans allow satan and evil spirits to influence they way we think and act. That is why you see so much hate and violence.
