not all Americans hate Muslims, i don't and I'm American.
people do what psychology calls generalization, or responding similarly to a range of similar stimuli.
In this case the stimuli are Muslims. since the pictures shown all over the media were of middle eastern men during 9-11, people will associate other middle eastern men with that fear they hold of what happened on 9-11
and because the people are so fearful and hurt from this event, they are not able to let their guard down and see that not everyone of the same race, religion, or gender are the same.
it takes time and some people will never change. but not all Americans hate Muslims.

Not me, it's all the ignorant Republicans and all the morons that fall for their BS just like what you're asking about... create 9/11 and put a whole culture through the gauntlet of the blood thirsty trigger happy sheep known as the gullable American public (aside from myself of course).

Anyone with a little intelligence doesn't try to generalize ...its as bad as saying all god botherers are from the south and burn down churches when they don't get their own way.

Their doctrine is really intolerant towards the infidels, and you know who the infidels are? EVERYBODY except the Muslims of course. They have not been very kind to our troops, and it is not really about politics, it's all about their religion.
