Why are Middle Easterners so much hated???

Answer 1

THESE HEARTLESS VISCOUS ANIMALS: THE MIDDLE EASTERNERS ARE HATED FOR ALL THE TERROR THEY DO AROUND THE WORLD FOR NO REASON AT ALL!!!

Answer 2

I think it would be the same reason that Marines are most hated in Marine towns and college kids most hated in college towns. Middle easterners are easy to get along with if you concentrate on the 80 percent that are good peaceful Muslims, however in comes the other 20 or so (probly an overestimate) that are hard corp theocracy hardliners that can't accept anything other then their own way. It is also a cultural thing as most middle easterners are much less accepting than westerners. The subject of "revolving" in Paris on non-Muslim women for breaking sharia laws of being out after dark would be a good example. The comparison of marines and college students would be, you recognize and let stick out in your mind the bad, not the medium or the good people, since their actions are usually not nearly as noticeable. I am sorry especially for Indians mistaken for Muslims in America (they don't even have a reason culturally to be blamed for anything). Ignorance is the main reason on both parts and i am sorry to say that both ignorant Muslims and Christians exist to pursue each other in the most idiotic of oxymoron's the "holy war". I am sorry if you feel hated and you are a middle easterner, and I hope things get better for you.

Answer 3

All the above answers show that middle easterners have been stereotyped which is unfair. Even thinking of them as a one block called middle east is unfair. Because people of one country differ than people in the neighboring country. And even people in the same country do not have the same identity. So it is not fair to judge a whole nation of a country according to the behavior of a terrorist of this country. And even if 90% of the terrorists belong to the middle east, this is not a reason to hate the millions of people out there that you have never cared to know them closely and listen to their opinions.

Answer 4

because almost all the terrorists threatening the U.S. have come from the Middle East, and many of the countries in the area not only sympathize with, but also financially and emotionally support, the terrorists.

it's hard to like someone when 1) they're trying to kill you, 2) they're helping those who are trying to kill you, or 3) doing nothing to stop the people who are trying to kill you.

that said, I have nothing against moderate Arabs/Middle Easterners, and hope that their numbers will grow.

Answer 5

Its not the Middle Easterners that are so much hated - it is the concentration of Muslim Extremists in that region that is so much hated. Don't feel bad though, your region is not the only region with problems with Muslim Extremists - every Westernized country in the world is dealing with these terrorists.

Answer 6

Not all middle Easterners are terrorist but in the last 10 years 99% of terrorist are middle eastern. people are just defensive

Answer 7

cuz theyre what people first think of when they hear the word terrorists and because of people like saddam hussein and osama bin laden. because of september 11th. i think also because many people automatically think that if your an arab then you are a musilim. and the muslims are know for having strict beliefs and what not.

Answer 8

Because it is fed by Western governments. War is good for economy.

Answer 9

They are viewed as irrational extremists and as terrorists.

Answer 10
