Answer 1

The reason there is hate towards us is because of prejudice and ignorance. People are so willing to judge all of us because of the actions of the few in the Middle East, without spending 15 minutes to actually read about true Islam and actually learn something.

Answer 2

Up until the 1990s, I'd say that very few Americans were even aware of Islam or Muslims in general. Except in cities and university towns you simply didn't see them. Very few Americans have any notion of what Islam is about--they only know things that pop culture has told them--for example, that women must all wear robes where only their eyes show, that they pray in great groups, bowing low on their hands and knees, that they all ride camels, carry curved swords and spout gibberish at the brave White Hunter or whoever that entered their territory. Muslims know that these are misconceptions and only address superficialities. But this is the basis upon which most Americans judge Islam.

Then comes the first WTC bombing in 1995, and people become aware of Muslims in their midst--but not as the kindly doctor who came from Pakistan to be the only physician in a small Midwestern town, or the cab driver in a big metropolis--no, these good Muslims have been, and often continue to be, invisible to the average American. No, Americans identify only the videos of the terrorists and extremists to Islam, and thinks the entire faith is that way.

The hatred you see here, I feel, is from people who are very much ignorant of Islam and who are very much afraid of anything or anyone who is different from their own race, nationality, and belief system.

Answer 3

Since the US is engaged in a conflict with countries in which the principal religion is Islam, and since there is an ingrained prohibition against homicide in the human ethos, it is necessary for the US citizen to be persuaded of the "less-than-human" status of Muslims, so that the killing of these fellow humans can be more easily accepted.

The "enemy" must be dehumanized and appear to be "diabolical" or else decent people could not entertain the notion of killing them.

The same happened with the Japanese and Germans in World War II, and with the Communists, and the Viet Cong.

A great many Americans swallow the propaganda against Islam without thinking for a moment. We like a nice, simple "Good Guy vs Bad Guy" philosophy, and thinking makes our heads hurt.

Add to that the fact that most Americans have never met a Muslim, and are therefore very easily persuaded that Muslims have two heads and a long, pointed tail, and you have the ignorant outpouring of non-thinking enmity.

Peace

Answer 4

Stereotyping and hatred of groups of people because of their skin color, nationality or religious beliefs is due to ignorance and sometimes, fear. Because of 9/11, Middle Eastern people have become the "bad guys" of the world. I do not believe all people of the Islamic faith are evil or terrorists.
Over the centuries, misconceptions about groups of people have prevailed: Jews, Afro American, Christians, Catholics, German, Irish, Russians, etc. There's always a reason to single out people and accuse them of behaving in a certain way. Of course, in this 21st century, the media influences people in what they believe.
I think people should get on the Internet or go to a library and get informed about the Islamic religion. To tell you the truth, I am a Catholic. But I was raised by parents who taught me never to judge or stereotype. Treat each individual as that, an individual. Someone who has the same right to be in this world as I do.
Mexico's former president (from 1857 to 1872), Benito Juarez, is quoted as having said, "Respecting the rights of others is peace".
I assume you are of Middle Eastern heritage because your name is Salam. I hope you haven't suffered abuse because of this. When you encounter ignorant people, ignore them. When you encounter people who are curious about the Muslim faith and customs, enlighten them.
Good luck.

Answer 5

I have no tolerance for any religion that has in its sacred scripture a directive to kill any and all people that don't convert to it.

The actions of your Muslim brethren over the past 1400 years have done much to prove this point. Muhammed himself was a military leader and killed many people by his own sword. Islam spread throughout the world by giving people in their conquered lands a choice to either convert, be killed, or (best case scenario) be treated like third-class citizens.

As a Christian, I acknowledge that my faith has a checkered past as well. However, the founder of my faith (Jesus Christ), didn't kill anyone, and didn't call for the killing of people here on Earth.

Most Muslims like to bring up the Crusades when pointing out Christian violence. The thing they fail to point out is that the Crusades were a DEFENSIVE campaign to drive away the Muslims who had come up through Spain, into France, and nearly to Rome. The counter-attack of the Crusades took the battle to the holy lands, causing the Muslims to focus on their rear guard rather than the front lines of Europe.

Another point. Saudi Arabia, a country of over 25,000,000 people, makes it ILLEGAL to practice any religion other than Islam. Is that tolerance?

I pray that all Muslims will finally see the light, though I dont' have much hope for this, as your own Islamic law makes a conversion away from Islam a crime punishable by DEATH.

These are just a few of the reasons why I depise the Muslim religion and why I don't believe that Islam is the religion of peace.

Answer 6

Because many people want someone to hate, and muslim Extremist (e.g. Bin Ladin) are an easy target. Unfortunately, people tend to get confused and spell that "Muslim extremist" or worse just "Muslim".

So, how do we solve that? Well, as a non-muslim myself (with many muslim friends) I try to re-spell "EXTREMISTS" as much as I can.

But, I honestly think Muslims themselves can help solve it even more. I would love to see some respected Muslim clerics become more public and condemn the "muslim Extremists" - and do this in the muslim media. Non-muslim media would love to relay that, and it would help non-muslims see who the real enemy is. (Unfortunately, I wonder if many muslims have an underlying respect for people like Bin Laden - that would be cancerous)

Living in the US, I rarely see muslim leaders, unless they are one of the Extremists - because seemingly they are the only one making dramatic statements. So, this contributes to our problem.

I regret the world is this way - but it is this way. I don't think it's a conspiracy against Islam - it's more an side-effect of how modern media works. But this same media also offers the power to solve it.

Answer 7

On this forum: there are extreme people. You will find people who HATE atheists, christians, muslims, you name it. Try to look past those.

Why do people hate muslims, in general? Historically, in EVERY culture, people don't like subgroups that look or act very differently than the rest of the group. You can see this with Jews, with native americans, with every group of people. Muslims look differently and believe differently than "the majority" in some countries and they are going to be mistrusted.

It's not a "good" reaction, but it comes from natural places I think.

Answer 8

I think it is a shame that Christians would bash on another human being created in Gods image as we know Christians our grafted into the people of isreal through Christ and that the people of Isreal and the people of islam our half brothers remeber Ishmel and Isaac both offspring of Abraham I would think God would want Peace not fighting Love not Hate

Answer 9

While I cannot condone hate directed to a certain group of people, there is a reason behind it:

Muslims follow the teachings of Muhammad, who raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives and their “right hand possessions” (Quran 33:50) He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia through his tyranny.

So if Muslims follow the teachings of a man like that, what can we expect of them? Of course it is only fundamentalists who become the "terrorists" and "suicide bombers" but if a religion is based on a good foundation (the root of the word "fundamentalist") there is no room for error.

This is true for ALL religions though. Christian fundamentalists have used their teachings as excuses for slavery, wars, and superiority against women for thousands of years.

Answer 10

well it could be one of two things:

1- ignorance of the religion. kinda like a racism thing. but u have the media to thank for that.
2- fact that there are muslims in the world who hate americans and want to see them dead. the fact that somebody who u dont even know wants to kill u because of ur nationality is scary!!
