Am I justified in my hatred for the Islamic religion?

Answer 1

People no, the religion of course.

Answer 2

I imagine that if you need to ask this question you do feel hatred for the Islamic religion. And, I don't know what has caused that hatred.

However, people who practice a certain religion may cause us harm but I would direct my feelings towards the individuals not the religion itself. I understand that can be difficult to do.

Also, it is important to remember that hating anyone or any group harms only you. You are hurt by the angry but it doesn't not have an impact on the person (or group) to whom it is directed.

If you are a Christian, Jesus told us to "turn the other cheek". I don't take that to mean I cannot protect my family. However, I do believe it means I should work to forgive anyone who has harmed me.

I hope you find peace in your heart.

Answer 3

The western media has done a great job in warping people's minds about Islam and Muslims. Unfortunately, too many people buy into all the crap; thus, basing their "knowledge" of Islam on whatever they see and hear. It's very sad.

I have been a devout, practicing follower of Islam for 33 years. To me, all of the negative, derogatory media coverage is a load of crap which I will never buy into.

You ask if you are justified in your hatred for Islam. Other people also feel justified in their hatred as well. If you take this hatred with you to your grave, Muslims are not responsible for that. If you adamantly choose to believe and accept all the negative media coverage about Islam as factual and accurate, then that's your decision and your choice.

Answer 4

I STRONGLY doubt it. Not to be rude, but Islam is a very amazing religion, and this is me saying in based on experience. Where as people that look at Islam close minded just see it for all the bad. Do they have any experience in this DEPTHS of this religion, or is it just media and what they think they are standing up for. Just like I have no reason to hate Christians, Jews, Hindus, and etcetera. We are all children of God, and if you believe in God and are true to your own religion, but sit and hate on a different religion, then I think I am justified to say that your faith is not that deep.

Answer 5

Yes and it is OK to want people who practice it out of the country. The religion is a violent religion that advocates, no demands killing any one who does not convert to it. Don't let all of the weak scared people who think we should just try harder to get along with them and are so concerned about other countries or people not liking us. It is a religion of hate. It has created a culture of mistreatment of women and hatred towards even various sects of the religion.

Answer 6

I don't know, what's your basis for hating Islam? That'd probably make it a lot easier to figure out if it's justified or not....

My guess is not, though.

Answer 7

I'm probably going to get intensely flamed, but yes, in a sense. The Lord hates any religion that causes people to worship anyone other than Him. I don't think you need to love something that He hates (nor should you).

However you are not at *all* justified in hating Muslims. Jesus loved them enough to DIE for them. They were created in the image of God. If you are using the Lord's righteous hatred of anything that leads people away from Him to justify hating Muslims then you need to check yourself.

Answer 8

Hatred is not a just thing whatever the target or cause!

Answer 9

You can hate a "thing," and not hate a person. Any "thing" that is evil can be hated as such. Any sin can be hated.

Hating another person or group of people is where the sin in ourselves happens.

I hate Islam because I believe it is a lie, and a deception that leads people to eternal suffering because they believe the lie and reject the Pardon, the Gift of forgiveness from God by faith in Jesus Christ who died for our sins, to pay the penalty so we wouldn't have to if we have faith in Him.

I hate any "thing" that leads people away from Christ.

I do not to hate any "person" as a rule, as Christ teaches us...I only pray they see the light, because the negative consequence for those who reject Christ's gift of forgiveness of their sins is forever in paying the penalty themselves.

Answer 10

Well first off my friend I would ask myself; “What is a Muslim?”

Because apparently they themselves don't know what Islam is or does and are feeding their starved minds by nibbling on the shadows of lies!

They say they are a peaceful religion, and then we hear this!; "If I get hold of the pope, I will hang him," Hafiz Hussain Ahmed, a senior MMA leader, told protesters in Islamabad, who carried placards reading "Terrorist, extremist Pope be hanged!" and "Down with Muslims' enemies!"

In Karachi, another MMA leader, Ghafoor Ahmed, accused the pope of wanting to force "Christians and Muslims against each other."

Benedict cited the words of a Byzantine emperor who characterized some of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad as "evil and inhuman," particularly "his command to spread by the sword the faith."

Sooooo... up jump the practitioners of Islam across the world, who say out of one side of their mouths that they are a peace loving religion... and out of the other side of their mouths, they say they want the lives of their enemies... what are we to believe?

Here's what an MMA leader, Ghafoor Ahmed, is saying now...

"We condemn the pope. We will not tolerate insulting remarks against Islam or our Prophet Muhammad," Ahmed said at a protest that drew about 300 people.

Another 200 rallied in the eastern city of Lahore, while several dozen protested in Multan.

The demonstrations came a day after 1,000 clerics and religious leaders met in Lahore and called for the pope's removal and warned the West of consequences if it didn't change its stance regarding Islam.

That Thursday's meeting was organized by radical Islamic Jamaat al-Dawat group, which runs schools, colleges and medical clinics. In April, Washington put the group on a list of terrorist organizations for its alleged links with militants fighting in the Indian part of
Kashmir.

After the meeting, a statement was issued demanding the West "change its stance regarding Islam (or) it will face severe consequences." It did not elaborate.
It also said that jihad was not terrorism and that "Islam was not propagated with the sword."

Malaysia's opposition Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party staged demonstrations outside mosques nationwide, calling for the pope to fully retract his remarks. In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's largest city, some 150 party members chanted "Stop the insults" and held a banner that read "We Muslims are peace-loving people."
