My sister was killed on 9/11 and ever since then
I have had a strong hatred for muslims. Is this justifiable? I don't like hating anybody.

i am very sorry for your loss and i wish you great sucess in your time of healing. but, no. this is not justifiable. only a few extremeist parties killed your sister, not the whole muslim population. i'm sure that many muslims are just as ashamed of their extremist brethren as you are. please, focus your anger on the real target.

Sorry about your loss, its all really senseless isn't it?
I was actually in Birmingham UK during the bombing in the city by the IRA (or assumed to be by the IRA)
Nowhere on the scale of 9/11 but I lost a few friends that night, and came pretty close to being 'snuffed' myself, I had been in in most of the bars that evening, we all split up prior to the bombs.
Most Brits will never acknowledge the fact that many atrocities have been committed in Ireland by British troops and of course by the Ulster mob and the IRA.
Having thought about this for many years I bore in mind what would I do if troops burst into my home and ransacked the place and committed all sorts of atrocities against my family.
Now I don't know who to blame, this sort of thing is on going throughout the world with the same thoughts going through every ones mind.
You can convince yourself it was the fault of X Y orZ or move on with your life and try to understand all sides of the story your hatred or my hatred for any particular group will solve nothing at all. I have tried to understand but failed miserably, but I 'hate' no one. I have a very strong dislike of all religion, people can believe in God as much as they want, I think their leaders and teachers should be banned from the globe.
Before any one decides to have a go at me about the British army I was in the British army, in many parts of the world I am not relying on second hand information here!
Why didnt I ever report any of these 'atrocities'? You must be joking?
As for your particular quandry about hate , this is a very personal thing and I am certainly in no position to advise you on the matter, its some thing you have to work out yourself good luck with that.

I can sympathize with you. The pain of losing someone can make one harsh & bitter and I can see why you would have hatred for Muslims. But, the people who killed her were fanatics/extremists...regardless of the religion...if some other race killed her, would you hate everyone in that race..

Not all Muslims are like that. I'm a Muslim and I had a very close friend (another Muslim) who died on 9/11. Does that make me hate Muslims? No..it's not justifiable..it makes me hate those damn extremists and I'm doing whatever it takes in my own community to raise awareness of what happened.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

So not sure this will help. But blaming all Muslims can't help.

It was terrroists that killed your sister, not Muslims. True Muslims condemn the terrorists actions because it goes against their faith (ie: killing of innocents). Those psychos just use the Islam faith to hide behind and to portray an excuse to sway weak minds to their aimless cause (which is to cause mayhem, nothing more)

The Quran also forbids Muslim from killing Muslim. So I'm sure there were some Muslims in those towers....and check out Iraq. No, the people committing these autrocities are not Muslims. I say again, they are terrosist slime. And them it's ok and justifiable to hate. I know I do.

I am so sorry for your loss...and I know it is ridiculous for a stranger to expect you to change and feel better with condolence, but I really do offer them, that was a tragic day.

I can understand why you hate the Muslim religion, but I don't agree. Please, don't think I am attacking you or your beliefs.

Would it be fair for African Americans to hate whites? Not really, yet the whites were still viscious and murdered countless slaves. The reason they don't hate whites is because they understand that not every white person was involved.

Muslims are not out to get us, regardless of the picture the news paints. Islam is actually a very peaceful culture, even though it was started and spread by war. In all honesty, all the Muslims I've talked to (both American ones and ones who live in the Middle East) despise Osama bin Laden, they despise all the suicide bombers, they feel that the radical groups are the scourge of the Islamic religion.

I understand why you hate them, but please try to understand that it only takes a few horrible people to end a life, and that the choices those individuals made does not reflect the Islamic religion.

I am sorry for you loss. But you cannot hate a whole group of people for the actions of a few buffuns. It is unfair and completely uncalled for. I am sure there were many muslims who worked in the WTC's as well. I think perhaps you should talk to a muslim who is strong in their faith and follows it correctly and you will see we are no different than anyone else. I have had things stolen from me in the past by whites, hispanics and blacks and I do not blame all of them for the actions some choose to make. I may sound cruel but you are a bigot. but Allah knows best

For people named Bigot and other meanings, see Bigot (disambiguation).

A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities differing from his or her own. The origin of the word in English dates back to at least 1598, via Middle French, and started with the sense of religious hypocrite, especially a woman.

Bigot is often used as a pejorative term against a person who is obstinately devoted to their prejudices even when these views are challenged or proven to be false. Forms of bigotry may have a related ideology or world views

It is not only justifiable but incumbent upon all to hate those who preach and practice evil. Clearly, the 9/11 terrorists, their organization, supporters, clergy, etc all fall under this description.

As for the balance of muslims in the world, they must openly separate themselves from the terrorists, in word and deed, lest the distinction between them become impossible to perceive.

My condolences to you and your family for your loss.

To be common i think of it is basically hate once you get all the way down to the bone. that's a shame fairly as human beings use faith to hate human beings. i'm a non-Muslim and my husband is Muslim he's the main type and non violent individual I easily have met. He constantly tell me his faith makes him the way he's. We arise incredibly some prejudice 3 issues a million. he's black and that i'm white one individual as quickly as mentioned to me i do no longer think of it seems precise a white individual and black individual and the place i take advantage of to stay we've been given fairly poor seems as quickly as we've been out mutually. 2 he's not from uk and has a sturdy Gambian accessory so human beings at once think of passport yet he's been right here 12 years and has it in his very own precise and 3. with him being Muslim i'm getting human beings asserting do no longer they kill none Muslims basically for no reason and it is incredibly some unfavourable issues. incredibly some human beings don't understand and desire to choose and are ignorant as though they examine the Quran they might understand than basically hate. So do no longer think of it is basically your faith i think of it is human beings as an entire in the event that they desire something they are going to injury all of us to get it. So i might.nt show be apologetic approximately if persons at the instant are not keen to appreciate you're a sturdy Muslim and are very expertise of none Muslims

depends, is your hatred directed towards muslims or just arab muslims.

See black muslims are not terrorists and I would say that 5%ers are the true sons of islam.

However the arab muslims focus only on the violence and it is so ingrained in thier society and beliefs that you can really hate them.

If there is such a thing as a moderate muslim, it is not an arab muslim. Those who call themselves "moderate" actually still are the ones protesting or rantind "behead those who think islam is violent".

Until the arab muslim community makes some serious reforms, you have every right to feel the way that you do.

I'm so sorry dear you lost your sister. I felt the blow of 9/11 strongly myself as my husband worked in the W T C prior to 9/11 and although he did not work there when it happened, we lost many treasured friends/ and co workers he used to enjoy talking to.
It was a tragic event in history and no one can bring your sister back to you.
It is right to strongly resent and hate her killers- but my dear- her killers are dead.
Being Muslim myself I can say to you that we are not all bad people- we are not all vile evil hate filled creatures with plots in our minds to end Western civilization.
I understand the pain of your loss and I hope you will one day come to peace with it.
Please dont hate us all, although I am sure you feel a cold spot in your heart toward our religion. It was the perverted and twisted minds of the killers that took your sisters life.
It could have been Christians, Jews, or any other religion perverted. Please do not hate us all.
If you met me I think you would like me, regardless of my faith. I am sorry for your loss dear and I hope it becomes easier for you with time.
