When will the hatred against them cease and the injustice that they recieve daily stop? How can the violence against them stop and how soon? How many of them have to die before we stop the killing of them? What do we have to do to stop the prejudice against them? Especially against those other barbarians, who will stop it first?

Okay let me try this again, why do lemmings push other lemmings off the cliffs? They do it on purpose and are hunted down by the barabaric eagles, why do they murder other lemmings?

First of all, there are no Barbarians.....just other human beings who are trying to eek out a living, as we all are.
I think the whole thing started in prehistoric times, when someone had more than someone else...Jealousy led to hatred. If we could all just learn to be content with what we have, the world would be a much better place.
In some ways I am good, in some ways not. I have some things that some people would want, but others have thing I want. It really is no different on a global scale.

Who is "them"?
I have often wondered when the practice of blowing up innocent civilians in the name of radical fundamentalist Islam will stop. Unfortunately, in their world view blowing up "infidels" who refuse to support their fundamentalist theocratic politics is considered to be justified.
--- Edit ---
Since you have posted a bit of a clarification....
There is a difference between being a lemming and defending what you believe to be right. One might just as easily call the "peace at all costs" crowd lemmings as well.
The harsh realities of life are that there are such a thing as irreconcilable differences and there are things that are worth fighting for. As to the latter, basic human freedoms such as freedom of speech and freedom of religion are among them. These are not generally a part of a fundamentalist theocracy, and, whether you believe it or not the goal of fundamentalist Islam is to spread their theocratic rule throughout the world. Furthermore, the general view is that the west is spiritually bereft and we are often referred to us as "The Great Satan" precisely because of the freedoms we hold at the core of our philosophy.

When the rivers run with blood and all of the anti-christ's armies are wiped out. After Jesus sets His foot on the mount and a great earth quake occurs. All the hatred will have stopped forever.

Fear is the mother of hatred and violence. We band together in groups to dispell our fears without noticing that by creating these groups we necessarily have to exclude others. They form their own groups. Groups compete for ascendancy with the inevitable result of manufactured hatred and violence.
Hatred is learned in this way and is anchored by our fears. If we can learn to open up our group to include respect for all humans (and indeed all life forms) then we will be taking a big step towards peace and harmony.
We have to stop seeing the world as 'us' and 'them'. Its OK to have a good physical football game but its not OK to hate your opponent. Its OK to have political parties but its not OK to disrespect your adversaries. Its OK to have religion but its not OK to think that you have the only answer to issues that are beyond our human understanding.
Compassion will disolve fear. Without fear we don't need the safety of the herd. Without dividing ourselves into groups we can see that we are all part of the same humanity and we all share this same small ball of confusion called planet Earth.

Mutual respect for life and the belief that "all men are created equal" are good places to start if we are speaking in general terms. The most basic right is the right to exist, every being on this planet deserves a chance to live, grow, change, mature and just to be what God created them to be!

Whos' "them"? I think as long as human beings are involved, hatred, violence and prejudice are things that are inevitable. But of course that doesn't mean we should stop trying.

WOW! GREAT QUESTION!
The answer of course, is when people stop being sarcastic. Actually, wait, of course that's not the answer - it's a really stupid question. But the irony in my answer was delicious. Also, that guy whose username was "I am an atheist" was being a bit redundant with the "No God" picture, don't you think? Really elaborative answer as well.

There will be prejudices and hatred as long as there are human beings on this earth. Jealousies abound among humans. "I don't like you because your eyes are blue or Brown." It's all so silly and unnecessary. But, after all, we are human.
