What causes people to hate?

Question

What is the true cause of Racism, Sexism and Prejiduce.. Why do people hate people just because of their religon, race or sex? Religon has been in and out of of history, people continue to hate on religons, a major one right now is Muslims, people are making false acusations of what the Quran says, they say that prophet muhammed was a child molestor because he married a young girl. But how about the hundreds of children that are getting raped by preists? Islam is terror? What was America when they killed millions of women and children in japan? What were the christians when they started the KKK? Why do people judge an entire religon just on a small group of people? I am not muslim, but if you look into this it is pretty sad how ignorant people are, another major religon is the Jews, they also have been hated because they killed jesus christ? But wasnt jesus a jew himself?

Answer 1

Very well said! I wish people read this as a message and meditate upon what you are saying.

Dis-like (Hate) and Like are two sides of the same coin. Hates startes, when we start identifying (i.e. like) ourselves with one belief-system. At the same time, we can like a belief-system, only when we hating the rest of belief systems.

We should remember that diversity (different people, religion etc.) is the law of nature, where as division is the what an ignorant mind has created, which is root of the problem.
