No one needs a specific reason to hate they just do it. Racism is just another word for ignorance. I truly don't understand why people blame their hatred for Muslims and Arabs on 9/11 when Arabs and Muslims lost people in those buildings and on those planes to. I think people simply hate what they don't understand, it's easier for them to hate than to put aside fear and walk over to you and ask your name, and see what you are about as a person. It's easier to say I hate Arabs than it is to say I really don't know any Arabs, or understand their culture, but I think I will take the time to find out about them, they just might be cool people.

the guy who checked Muhammed Atta onto a small flight to boston from maine had a hinkling about Atta due to his suspicious behavior. Believing himself paranoid, however, the guy shook off his hinkling and merely required Atta to do a second check in before boarding United flight 93 in Boston, which he essentially crashed into the WTC. Had the guy listened to his instinct and prevented Atta from boarding the maine flight in the first place then 9/11 would more than likely have been prevented. Perhaps it is the feeling of paranoia brought on by events such as these that has led so many people to dislike, or perhaps feel uneasy in the presence of all middle easterners, regardless of their presumed intentions.

Watch Glen Beck on CNN and he'll show you the schooling Muslims are getting. They're taught at an early (2-5) age to hate everything from the west and the Jews. Plus alot of their culture has known nothing but thousands of years of war and turmoil, it's all they understand.Watch Glen Beck for a week and you'll get a better understanding.

9/11 was very scary and people who like to hate found a new group. Although you belong to this group, you do not share their beliefs. Sadly, being innocent in this world doesn't mean you will not be victimized. Innocent people are victimized everyday. It's true, we all should be able to get along, but it seems unlikely. Don't give up hope, just yet though. Hopefully, someday we'll be able to live in this kind of world.

It all has to do with the fears of everyone as citizens of a country that views that particular race as the race of the terrorists. Same reasons why the Japanese had to suffer so much not too long ago.
People are just scared of September 11th happening in their neighborhood, and it isn't fair to a certain group of people, but the reality of the situation is that a lot of people are just uneducated, and they don't know any better.
They just know that a lot of people died suddenly, and they are scared. I can't really blame them, but them being outwardly hostile is just a lack of brains.

It's called "racial profiling", my dear. Yes, I know it's wrong, but it's only gonna get worse as the threat from Muslim extremists worsens in the coming years. Might as well resign yourself to it and prepare for it. It's not gonna be pretty, believe me.

Your right. Lets hate no one. Send the idea on to you fellow Muslims and maybe they will stop strapping bombs to their backs. As Rodney King once said "Can"t we all get along?"
