Do you think it's ok to be intolerant when....?

Question

all three major religions teach it? The overall message of the three books is living in peace, caring for those around us, and respecting our elders. All three religions also teach to look for the best in all things, not the worst. Why do we forget this? I am a muslim, but I chose to be because the book matched my feelings anyway and felt so true in my heart. And that's gotten stronger. Is it your opinion that those who are peace seeking individuals strive to create that atmosphere? Do you think it's ok to hate a whole group of people because of a label?

Answer 1

no ,I can't hate a whole group because of a label

Answer 2

You are Muslim and in the U.S., Muslims are regarded with suspicion and, by some, even with hatred. (I'm sure you know why.) That's not a comfortable place to be in. Try to understand both sides and NEVER GIVE UP trying to educate people about peace and acceptance. I don't personally think it's okay to hate a whole group of people because of the actions of a few. That would be like condemning a murderer's mother, father, sisters, brothers and children to death for the actions of the one person! And yet after someone hurts us, it's a long time before we can trust them again, now isn't it?---Blessings and Peace.

Answer 3

I think that Muslims have a hard way to go. It's because people expect a snake when they see a Muslim. Not everybody, but I would say most people who have an ounce of common sense.

Muslims have attempted to destroy the US. They have children's TV shows preaching hate against us, and the Jews. That Bee thing and that rip off Mickey Mouse thing. Along with the other shows for kids. . . . . . . . . . . . . KIDS.

So Islam is attempting to raise an entire generation of youths that want the USA dead or under Muslim control, and Israel taken out.

Don't seem so surprised. The people that I know aren't interested in Muslim apologetics. We don't care. The Muslims in control of Islam are violent, hateful people.

So don't act like you don't know it. You preach peace to us like we are the one's causing it. So stuff it up your Quran, we don't care. It's your religion that's the cause, tell us different and we will not believe it. We don't WANT to be taught any different. Go ahead and figure that we are unteachable, it's better than being fooled by a bunch of snakes wrapped in a burka.

Answer 4

You do realize that its not the west who shows intolerance to other religions don't you? Of course we do not and cannot hate the people that subscribe to brutality and call it a religion but we do and can hate that religion. We did the same to cannibals and while they still exist, they cannot practice that brand of brutality and survive. The Spanish Inquisition ended when those who started it died because of its brutality and whole cities rose up against its practice. The same fate may face the Muslim brand of brutality because its obvious who is intolerant, and who hates authority.

Answer 5

It is ignorant and dishonest to judge 1.5 BILLION Muslims based on the actions of .0001% of its followers.

If Muslims were to do that to Christians many would call Muslims ignorant and stupid.

Many people who love their faith but see Islam as a threat (because of so many conversion into Islam) use the name calling and other lies as a base to attack Muslims.

Many Christian missionaries have been told to try to make Muslims think Christianity has a monopoly on LOVE .

They say this has worked very well in the past few years........ since their propoganda on the media is promoting the image that Islam is nothing but the opposite of Love.

They say this while their armies are invading Muslim countries and directly or indirectly killing thousands of Muslims.

When asked why they are doing this......... they reply that killing them was for their "own good" and so they did it out of Love.

Figure that one out.

Answer 6

We should never hate based on labels... it is not right and really we should just follow the peaceful suggestions in our books. I am a Christian I have no harm to bear you or awful words, we both believe different things and that is no reason to hate or be intolerant over...

However I will stand for my beliefs...

Answer 7

Yeshua (Jesus) said that there were two most important commandments-- 1) To love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and 2) to love your neighbor as yourself. He explained in the story of the Prodigal Son who your neighbor is-- it is anyone who needs help.

Sometimes people need help and don't even know it.

Hating a group is not okay with God. It is saying to Him, "I don't like what you created." It is telling the Judge and the Creator that He made a mistake.

God so loved the world that He send Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) to teach us what love is and how far love will go to love the neighbor.

Read Yeshua's words for yourself at www.gospelcom.net

You will see that we are to be intolerant of tolerating sin in ourselves (especially in ourselves) --because God is holy--but we are to love other people whether they are from our culture or not. Every human being is valuable to God.

Answer 8

NEVER hate people. God doesn't hate people, He hates sin. Sin destroys people. It's just that kind of thinking that makes terrorists think their 'work' is a Good Thing. In fact, the Quran specifically warns people not to do that sort of 'mischief'. And they think they're going to be REWARDED???

Stop the hate.

Answer 9

Many religious people believe that they can hold the truth in their hands and the truth of the others is always wrong.

Is a tragedy,hate and intolerance are the forces behind R&S.

Answer 10

I don't see very many Christians, Jews, or Muslims making the world a safer place to live. Get a grip on your people, then we'll talk.
