The question behind this is what does one mean by hate? Assuming it means racial or religious hatred, the Quran and Hadith cintain many exhortations to persecute or slay the “misbelievers.” In this one should first understand that evidently Muhammad's "Suras" or revelations before he went to Medina (where he gained more power) were more tolerant, and thus the Quran does have a couple or so exhortations to tolerance (Sura 2:256). [Verse numbering varies btwn. translations]. However, he later and oftentimes urged violence against unbelievers. Sometimes this was in response to attack, or to making discord in the land (which can be interpreted ideologically), and in which they are to physically "Fight therefore against them till there be no more civil discord, and the only worship be of Allah" (Sura 8:39, 40).
Other like exhortations are more broad, such as "O ye who believe! fight those who are near to you of the misbelievers, and let them find in you sternness; and know that Allah is with those who fear." (Sura 9:124).
Or, "And when ye meet those who misbelieve-then striking off heads until ye have massacred them, and bind fast the bonds! Then either a free grant (of liberty) or a ransom until the war shall have laid down its burdens" (Sura 47:5).
Sura 5:51 forbids taking Jews or Christians as friends, and in Sura 9 (and other places) war is declared against them until they are subdued under Islam and kept under perpetual social and religious restraint and tribute. The pact of Umar is an example of this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pact_of_Umar .
The problem in the Quran is that (unlike the Bible) it characteristically lacks the context necessary to justify making all such exhortations to be those of a defensive posture, or for a limited engagement or war, and many can be easily used to promote worldwide physical "jihad" "until all the religion be of Allah."
But back to the question of hate, there are many today who suppose any lack of tolerance is wrong and hateful. However, by that standard this stance itself is self condemned, as it is impossible to be for something - such as love for God and each other - without being opposed to that which is evil, and harmful to the latter. How one ideologically defines and promotes good is the issue.

You do fully grasp that there's no important "Tea occasion" place of job or reputable platform right? There are rankings of agencies that decision themselves Tea occasion so a gaggle in AZ may be racist however a group on Colorado fights such matters enamel and nail. Try to teach yourself about us before you're making claims.

Sorry, ask me again on Monday. The library is closed so I cannot get a copy of the Koran. I will not allow one in my house.

That would mean I'd have to read it again. Way too much effort. What's the stance in the Quran about infidels again? Oh, right....killing them. That would be hate for starters.

Well, I cannot show you any such examples because there are no examples of the disease of hatred in the Qur'an. In fact, the Qur'an's main purpose is to establish justice and love and brotherhood. Hatred and violence are condemned in the Qur'an.

There is no hate really in the Qur'an. Unless you read the verse about "kill all infedils wherever you may find them."
