That's a generalization and a big one.
The answer is, they don't. Nor do any other sects or different religions all hate each other. Some feel a great rift and a non -understanding of each other's beliefs. Some feel they've been oppressed by other sects. But these are minorities.
Hate is a big word. You're using it wrongly here and very ignorantly. (I'm quite sure you don't want me or anyone else to say you're being ignorant, but that's tough.)
If different religions took the time out to learn each others' beliefs and histories and cultures, (as well as if you did), no one would be using "hate".

Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness against thy neighbor. The Protestants do not hate, Catholics, Muslims, Hindu's, Buddist, Mormons, Jehova Witness, or any other religions. That is a total LIE. Shame on you for spreading such nasty Propaganda. Ask God to Forgive you, and He will.

Well there's a biased generalization if I ever saw one. I assume you are talking about the fundamentalist Christians, but the word "Protestant" covers all Christian denominations outside the Catholic church, including Anglican, Methodist, and Lutheran. Most Protestant religions are accepting of other denominations and sometimes different churches will get together for special services.
But, to answer your question, why would certain groups of Protestants hate other denominations and religions?
Inflated ego.

Protestant are close to Muslims more than Christians and they hate Islam the most to distinguish Protestantism from Islam they were part of the Catholic Church but Islam but due to Islam individual freedom thinking's and human dose not need a man or Church to do his pray to the One GOD. Protestants were influenced the most by Islam. read the history of the Movement you will find that fact to be true

If they were true Christians, they don't hate anyone. I am Catholic and have Protestant family and they dont hate me. I know most other Protestants are like that too.

because unfortunately many churches have became very distorted and have drifted far away from the core values that christianity is based on. Christ leaves no room in his intstructions to us for hate or judgement towards anybody. in fact, he specifically speaks against it. recall the example of the prostitute that was about to be stoned. jesus did not say that her behavior was ok, but he condemned the people who sought to punish her for it, and he said something along the lines of " let the one without sin be the one to throw the first stone"(or something to that effect) essentially saying that you shouldnt judge other people for their sins because you are not perfect either. it is not our job as christians to judge.
so, to answer your question, they hate all of those other people because they are ignorant(no i am not being judgemental or derogatory, ignorant simply means "lacking knowledge"). they are ignorant to the other religions beliefs, and they are ignorant to the beliefs of the religion which they claim to be a part of.
sadly, many people are pushed away from god because they assume that the actions and opinions of "christian" people accurately reflect the bible, and unfortunately this is not always the case.
I challenge anyone who reads this to stop looking at christianity through people, and look into it yourself. you may be very surprised at what you find, and it may even change your life.

That is a faulty generalization. Not all do by any means. Some actually do practice what they preach - brotherly love. I personally try not to hate anyone. Hate is not good for one's blood pressure.
I still wonder why you are so full of anger.

True Christians/Prodestants don't hate anyone; it's against their religion. They are to love their neighbor as themselves -- meaning treat others as they would want to be treated themselves. They do not hate the Catholics, etc., they just don't believe the same things -- that certainly doesn't lead someone to hate someone else.

Why do "all fear you"?
Why do you hate Protestants? Elsewise, why would you say that they hate .....?
Maybe a hundred and fifty years ago ... but now I think most, hopefully, have an agape love for them.

The name says it all..."Protestants"...as in "Protests". They protest what is different....they make up their own rules...varying from denomination to denomination... to suit their individual wants and needs.
