why ppl hate muslims?

Answer 1

I can't believe the previous people who answered didnt address this yet. It's not that people hate Muslims, it's that terrorists are giving honest true Muslims a bad name. These people who answered previously talk like all Musllims are terrorists. Gimmy a break! That's like saying all Republicans are right-wing fanatical Christians (which isnt true) or that all Democrats are loony liberals out to make the ogvernment take care of them. Stereotyping is running rampant in this world right now, and is partially responsible for the non-productive polarization of the two main parties we have. There WAS a time when Democrats and Republicans actually got along.
6No wonder why Muslim people feel discriminated against. Is it their fault a select few have taken their religion, twisted it to suit their own evil purpose and go out and blow people up? Heck no it's not their fault. Just like it's not the Republican's fault there's a small group of fanatical right-wing Christians that is giving their party a bad name, and it's not the Democrats' fault that certain people in their party make them look foolish as well. Stop stereotyping and lumping huge groups of people together!

Answer 2

because they sit there in unified silence and never speak out against the atrocities of their extremists. Perhaps it is because they all share the same views. Perhaps they are all extremists, just in different degrees. They ask the world to understand their grievances, while their people kill innocents. Clean your house first, before you come to the world with your hand out, looking for sympathy. No, contacts and informants in the muslim world won't help. This is a muslim problem. The muslims are the only ones who can stop it. If they don't, it means they support it and we've seen all kinds of evidence that they do, whether they admit it openly or not. They glorify suicide murders! They have parades and memorials in honor of teens who blew themselves up to kill Israelis or Maronites or Americans or whoever the infidel do jour is. Not all muslims are bad, but enough are to really really matter. After 9/11 an extensive poll was taken throughout the muslim world (where allowed.) 15% openly supported OBL and said the US had it coming and they hope there's more. 69% said that, while regrettable, it's the US's own fault for supporting Israel, EVEN THOUGH at the time, Israel wasn't even mentioned by OBL, and most of these people have never met an Israeli in their lives. So 74% of the muslim world wants Israel gone and wouldn't be too sad if we were gone too. If the poll is representative, then out of 1.3 Billion muslims in the world, there are over 700 Million who want Israel gone and who wish us ill. Furthermore, A 2004 estimate by the intelligence unit of French police found that about 150 of the country's indexed 1,600 mosques and prayer halls were under the control of extremist elements.

A study of 1,160 recent French converts to Islam found that 23% identified themselves as Salafists — a sect sometimes associated with violent extremism.

In the Netherlands, the Dutch intelligence service says it believes as many as 20 different hard-line Islamic groups may be operating in the country.
In London, authorities say that as many as 3,000 veterans of al-Qaeda training camps over the years were born or based in Britain. Not all muslims are bad, but as far as I'm concerned, enough of them are, therefore I don't feel bad about generalizing or profiling in this case.

So here are a few suggestions. If Muslims don't want Islam to be perceived as encouraging violence, they should:
1. Stop committing violent acts.
2. Stop justifying those violent acts by reference to the Qur'an and Sunnah.
3. Stop saying violent or hateful things in private when you think no non-Muslims are around.
4. Begin comprehensive international programs in mosques all over the world to teach against the ideas of violent jihad and Islamic supremacism.
5. Actively work with Western law enforcement officials to identify and apprehend jihadists within Western Muslim communities.

Do these five things, and you'll find, voila, that perceptions of Islam will begin miraculously to improve.

I think many americans hate muslims because they know nothing about them. Men are afraid of what they don't understand. Not to mention they worship a different god which can used as a reason to hate someone.

Answer 6

Mostly, because they themselves are hated.... See the connection? Hate exacerbates and escalates hate.... And to be sure most of those who hate only do so out of ignorance... That's why it's easy to distinguish those who intellectually view television and those that are used by television... The wise man won't hate anything and will be gratified to be living in this unique world.....

I truly feel that most people do not hate Muslims. It just so happens that the people we are at war with are Muslim. I'm talking about the terrorists. But I do realize that all Muslims are not terrorists, and all terrorists are not Muslim.

Because a hand full of them are terrorists, and they give a bad rap to the rest. Also people dont really know anything about Islam except what they see and hear on tv. This is called ignorance.
