Do most people hate muslims

Answer 1

Hate is against any religion what so ever. All religions forbid their followers from hatred against any human being. Jesus called for love even your enemies. Qur'an, Muslims holy book that reflects real God words, commands Muslims to deal with non Muslims with kindness and love and mutual respect so far they don't practice religion oppression or derive Muslims away from their homes or occupy their lands.

Answer 1

I wonder about the question itself. Why you don't ask you do hate Christians or why you don't ask do you hate Jews or Buddhists... No one should hate another based on his/her religion.

All religions call for love, peace, and kindness among all who sharing this planet. God says in Quran that God created people in different nations and cultures to cooperate together and compete for the good of humanity and not to be in enmity. It is the media and Propaganda that visualize Muslims as terrorists and Islam as the religion of terror to implement their political agendas of getting control of Islamic countries with their resources, to block the trend of the many people converting into Islam, and to give more legitimacy to what happening against the Palestinians, the Iraqis, the Bosnians, the Chechen, and many other Muslim gatherings.

Terrorism is never due to religion, any religion. Terrorism is always due to political, social, and economical reasons.This is confirmed through many examples extending from Japan, Korea, Ireland, South Africa and many other African countries, Ceylon, Spain, and others.

Answer 2

Not all Muslims only the terrorists! Yes some are nice but did you know that Muslims invaded India and threatened Indians to convert to Muslim otherwise they would kill them? Its very cruel! NOT ALL MUSLIMS I HATE, is the majority of Muslims terrorists? Some say yes and undoubtedly Muslims say no but I sort of think maybe... Correct me if I'm wrong but the majority of terrorist attacks are from Muslims and some Muslim sent a leaflet around to my area listing all the "wrongs" about other religions but Islam and then wrote "look at us we are the better". How corrupt and unfair is that? Let me answer that totally unfair and despicable. So the answer to your question is ...

SORT OF (ACCORDING TO THE FACTS ABOVE) BUT SOME ARE NICE. =^)

Commentary on Answer 2

Muslims never force non Muslims to convert into Islam. Qur'an, Muslims holy book that reflects real God words, says explicitly " no compulsion in religion" and says "You have your own religion(s) and we (Muslims) have our own religion". As for terrorism, kindly refer to Answer 1 above

Answer 3

Most Non-Muslims (contrary to Muslim assertions) do not actually hate Muslims. While there are certainly a minority of individuals who say that Muslims themselves are a cancer on society, this is a very limited opinion. Muslims of all backgrounds, like Arabs, Indians, Southeast Asians, etc. are typically warm, hospitable, and loving people. They work diligently at their jobs, aspire for their children to have better lives, and are every bit as caring and nurturing as any other citizen. The TV show "Muslims in America" was cancelled after one season because the participants in the show were "too normal". The only difference between them and non-Muslims were that some of the women wore hijabs and everyone prayed on Fridays instead of Sundays. Their ideologies and views were quintessentially American. Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan famously joined the celebrations when Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan, because they opposed the terror and fear that he represented.

If there may be one thing worth noting here, it is that Non-Muslims hope that Muslims can take a critical look at their past in a way that, up to this point, few of them have dared to do.

Answer 2

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2no religion in the world promotes hatred towards other religion believers. Only non Muslims; Jews or other religion believers; may hate Muslims if they don't understand their religion and/or don't understand Islam religion teachings. Refer to related question below.

Answer 3

Jews are not commanded to hate or in any other way despise Muslims. (There are certain races that Jews ARE commanded to hate such as the Amalekites, but they do not include nor overlap with the races that Muslims comprise.) Most Jewish literature on Islam is positive, considering it part of God's plan so that the world would know him. Muslims are to be treated with deference that is less than that which a Jew receives, equal to the deference that a Christian receives, and greater than that given to religions outside the three monotheistic faiths.

However, there are certainly "card-carrying" Jews who hate Muslims and pretending this does not exist does not help anybody. Jews who hate Islam typically do not hate it on religious grounds (i.e. Jews do not hate Muslims because they believe in Mohammed's message as opposed to strict observance of Torah-based law.) Jews who hate Muslims typically do so from a political perspective. Currently, the majority of Jews endorse the State of Israel as a political extension of Jewish identity. Many Muslims reject either (or both) the validity of Israel as a Jewish State or the actions taken by Israel to defend the Jewish State. This rejection of what many Jews see as a paramount part of their identity brings about the ire and hatred the question brings up.

Many Jews see Anti-Zionism as Anti-Semitism, but increasingly in the Islamic World, Anti-Zionism is becoming Anti-Semitism. The difference between them is that Anti-Zionism opposes Jewish political independence and that Anti-Semitism opposes Jewish belief and practice. (Therefore saying that Israel has no right to defend itself is Anti-Zionist, but saying that Jews are descended from monkeys and pigs is Anti-Semitic.) The casual nature with which both Anti-Zionist and Anti-Semitic remarks are used in the Islamic World has also caused a good number of Jews to hate Muslims because they perceive Muslims as not caring or seeing as legitimate Jewish concerns and beliefs.

It is better to define the words antisemitism and Zionism to sort out the confusion caused by these two words.

Antisemitism refers specifically to prejudice against Jews alone and in general despite the fact that there are other speakers of Semitic languages (e.g. Arabs, Ethiopians, or Assyrians) and that not all Jews speak a Semitic language. Hence, antisemitism should refer also to prejudice against Arabs and against Muslims as speakers of Semitic language. Although this term now has wide currency, it is a misnomer, since it implies a discrimination against all Semites. Arabs and other peoples are also Semites, and yet they are not the targets of Antisemitism as it is usually understood.

Zionism is a form of nationalism of Jews that has advocated the return of Jews to Israel as a means for Jews to be a majority in their own nation, and to be liberated from antisemitic discrimination, Zionism emerged in the late 19th century in central and eastern Europe and soon after this most leaders of the movement associated the main goal with creating the desired state in Palestine, then an area controlled by the Ottoman Empire.

Answer 3

Atheism isn't a belief, it is the absence of belief. So although you could probably find some atheists who hate some Muslims, being atheist wouldn't make one hate Muslims in general; why would it?

Answer 4

Answer 1

its not that all people hate Muslim's, its just that the majority of people have a huge misconception of the religion. the media portrays Islam to be a religion of polygamy and terrorizing, but if you go to the root; Islam literally means peace the religion is a religion of peace. the best thing to do is to judge the religion on the religion, not its people. i mean just a quick example, after 9/11 they made it seem like Muslims are such horrible people because of what they did.. i mean is that really fair? it was only a group of 'Muslim's' who did it not the whole entire group. I'm not going to go into it but there are a lot of suspicions on who really planned the attack that day. on another note, there's always a story about a child getting raped or kidnapped, and lets say its a Caucasian man who did it, or lets go all the way back to the KKK.. why don't people hate white people so much? maybe because the media doesn't put it on the mainstream as much. they want people to get the wrong idea on Islam, go do research. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world.

Answer 2

Love and Hatred are human passions and sentiments. It is a famous say: Give the dog a bad name and hang him. The media has a tendency to add to fuel to the fire. Unfortunately, the past history of the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims has not been so pleasant. The same feelings of hatred are still haunting the minds of the fanatic groups among the three. It is better that we bury the past and look in the future. The world has become a Global Village. Let there be the rule of Justice, Truth, Tolerance and Wisdom. There are hateful Jews, hateful Christians and hateful Muslims. We should not start hating the whole community.

Answer 3

Most Non-Muslims (contrary to Muslim assertions) are not actually Anti-Muslim. While there are certainly a minority of individuals who say that Muslims themselves are a cancer on society, this is a very limited opinion and is usually related to criticisms of the religion of Islam. Muslims of all backgrounds, like Arabs, Indians, Southeast Asians, etc. are typically warm, hospitable, and loving people. They work diligently at their jobs, aspire for their children to have better lives, and are every bit as caring and nurturing as any other citizen. The TV show "Muslims in America" was cancelled after one season because the participants in the show were "too normal". The only difference between them and non-Muslims were that some of the women wore hijabs and everyone prayed on Fridays instead of Sundays. Their ideologies and views were quintessentially American. Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan famously joined the celebrations when Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan, because they opposed the terror and fear that he represented.

If there may be one thing worth noting here, it is that Non-Muslims hope that Muslims can take a critical look at their past in a way that, up to this point, few of them have dared to do.

What most non-Muslims oppose is Islamic theology and Islamic governance when those are opposed to fundamental rights and freedoms, such as the freedom of speech (even to say disrespectful things or to make serious historical inquiries) or the equality of all people and religion before the law.

Answer 5

Answer 1

Islam teaches Muslims to like and take care of other Muslims. So you tell me, what if most of these Muslims were new converts? So as I said Islam teaches us to like Muslims and take care of each other and never be angry at each other or hate each other. So if a non Muslim becomes a Muslim I should like him/her, take care and be nice and never hate each other. Why should we hate non Muslims? What if the non Muslims we hate turned into Muslims and one of them becomes an Imam or a Sheikh.

Answer 2

So the answer is very very simple. No we don't hate non Muslims and we shouldn't hate them. This is what Islam teaches each Muslim to do but most are not following Islam correctly.

Answer 3

Almighty Allah has created us all. He loves His creation. He reminds us many times in the holy Qur'an that He is Just. In fact, it is only He Who can do full and genuine justice to His creatures. An unjust and cruel Ruler can't be the Creator. He does Justice here, He'll do Justice on the Day of Judgment. No human being should hate any living being, not to say of a human being.

Answer 6

Most Muslims do not hate Non-Muslims in some sort of blanket way, but there is a significant minority who do. Muslim-majority societies have discriminated against and have continued to discriminate against Non-Muslim members of their society. There are problems concerning treatment of Christians, Jews, Baha'i, Druze, and Yazidi throughout the Middle East. Iran has problems with the treatment of Zoroastrians. Pakistan and Bangladesh have problems concerning the treatment of what few Hindus remain.

As concerns the discrimination against Non-Muslims, the majority Muslims continue to refuse to listen to the claims of these minority religions that they are being discriminated against and that all they want is fair treatment under the law. They accuse these people of being Anti-Muslim and wishing to denigrate Islam without cause, even when nearly every Human Rights group agrees that the situation for these minorities is problematic or dire. Some Muslims have protested this treatment, but they have often been branded as traitors, secret Zionists, and non-Muslims. Therefore, it must be assumed that most Muslims support this type of discrimination, even if they do not hate the people they are discriminating against.

Anti-Semitism is especially common in Muslim communities and many (but not all) Muslims believe that the Jews are eternal enemies of Muslims, are descended from apes and pigs, kill Muslims for enjoyment, and many other commonplace Anti-Semitic rhetoric. There are numerous rallies where Muslims declare their unending support to the eradication of the Jewish people and will occasionally praise Hitler's "achievements" in this regard. There are some center-line Muslims (in addition to more liberal Muslims) who oppose this like Yusuf Hamza and Tariq Ramadan, but polls among Muslim communities show deeply-ingrained Anti-Semitic attitudes and a lack of knowledge about actual Jewish customs, beliefs, and history.

Answer 7

Not all Muslims hate Jews, but a significant percentage do (in a number of cases, rising to a majority). For those who do, there are a number of reasons.

1) Anti-Semitism: There are six major reasons that people and countries harbor Anti-Semitic views and often these exist in contradictions (i.e. one group will hate them for one side of this reason and another group at a different place and time will hate them for the exact opposite reason): (1) Perceptions of Jewish Economic Power, (2) Perceptions of Jewish Ethnocentrism/Chosen-ness, (3) Religious motivations for Jew-hatred (both in Christianity and Islam), (4) Otherness, (5) Genetic/Racial Inferiority, and (6) Perceptions of Disloyalty. It is worth noting that the seventh most common reason, Ease of Scapegoating, only makes sense if at least one of the other six is in play, otherwise we could simply scapegoat the unicyclists for the world's ills. These issues and views are not unique to Muslims but embraced by many Muslims.

1A) Jewish Economic Power: The common Anti-Semitic canard here is that Jews control the banks. Of course, this is not true as most banks are not chaired or owned or controlled by Jews; many banks operate independently or are controlled by Non-Jews. For example the Big Four US Banks are all run by Non-Jews: Jaime Dimon (JP Morgan Chase), Chad Holliday (Bank of America), Michael O'Neill (Citigroup), and John Stumpf (Wells Fargo).

1B) Jewish Chosen-ness: The common Anti-Semitic canard here is that Jews believe themselves to be a superior ethnicity in the vein of the ubermensch or "White Pride". This is contrary to the Jewish understanding is that the Jewish people were charged with a distinct mission/task that the rest of the world was not assigned and this is to elevate the spiritual character of the world. The Anti-Semites then argue that because Jews believe themselves superior to Non-Jews that Jews take advantage of Non-Jews and feel no remorse for it.

1C) Religious Anti-Semitism: While Christianity and Islam are not inherently Anti-Semitism, their doctrines are easily to meld to an Anti-Semitic world vision and historically have been melded in such ways. Islam has several Anti-Semitic thrusts. In addition to the crucifixion of Jesus the Messiah (which is not deicide in Islam since Jesus is not God in Islamic theology and because Jesus eluded the attempt to crucify him), Muslims have made the argument that Jews are the killers of the Prophets plural, even though Jesus was the only one of the 35 prophets in the Qur'an who Jews attempted to kill (per Islamic teachings). Additionally, Muhammad and the early Muslims had negative political and military relationships with Arabian Jews which led to Anti-Semitism having a greater prominence in the early Islamic tradition.

1D) Otherness: The common Anti-Semitic canard here is that Jews are somehow different from other people and are, therefore, incapable of properly assimilating into the dominant culture. The argument went that their culture and beliefs were too odd for civil society and the Jews needed to be removed due to this customs incongruence. In the Islamic World, since Jewish Emancipation came hand-in-hand with Imperialism, the Jews who assimilated were deemed to be imperialist infiltrators.

1E) Racial Inferiority: The common Anti-Semitic canard here is that Jews are somehow genetically inferior or lesser than other humans. Interestingly, in Arab and African-American communities who practice this form of Anti-Semitism by arguing that Jews are a European offshoot of Khazaria and not as racially developed as Semites or Africans.

1F) Disloyalty: The common Anti-Semitic canard here is that Jews harbor more loyalty to each other (or, since 1948 to Israel) than to their fellow countrymen. Military defeats have been framed on Jews, such as the Ottoman defeat in the Egyptian-Ottoman War in 1831-1833, even though Jews did not even fight in this war. The evidence, however, is to the contrary. In nearly every case where Jews have been permitted to join the militaries of their host countries, they have enlisted in excess of their percentage. Throughout the Middle Ages, Jews were more loyal to the sovereign, especially since the sovereign would protect the Jews from rabid Anti-Semitic hordes of peasants.

2) Facelessness: Most people around the world, and especially in the Islamic World, have never met a Jew and only see Jews through the media portrayals of Israeli military actions or Jewish politicians in Western countries. As a result, "the Jews" are a people upon whom any claim of impropriety can be laid without a counterfactual relationship to see a Jew's humanity.

3) Israel's International Legal Violations: Israel has engaged in a number of policies in violation of international law, such as the unification of Jerusalem, the settlements in the West Bank, the annexation of the Golan Heights, etc.. Israel is not reticent for performing such acts and claims that it violates those laws because they are prejudicial to its rights and interests. If other countries did the same, (Iran is a great example), they are sternly reprimanded by the international community and forced to toe the line. The argument is often that because the Jews have control of international politics, that they are able to commit these violations with impunity while other countries cannot.

4) Anti-Colonialism: While Arab Nationalism was an anti-colonial movement, the general principles of the anti-colonialism led to a rejection of States based on European values in non-European locations with a large number of non-European (ethnically speaking) inhabitants. This sentiment was felt most strongly towards (South) Rhodesia, South Africa, and what would become Israel. Anti-colonialists believe that Asians and Africans had the right to Self-Determination pursuant to their cultures. However, Rhodesian and South African institutions could and did eventually convert to being African nations (in the true sense of the term) because their racist infrastructure could be reformed. Zionism is by default a government by the Jews and would cease to be Zionist if the Jews were taken out of the leadership position. Thus Zionism catches the ire of anti-colonialists.

5) Palestinian Indigenous Rights: The indigenous Palestinians and their descendants are aggrieved that people from abroad would come to the land that their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents had lived on and worked for as long as they could remember and buy that land from the Ottomans without consulting them. Moreover, these people had a particular agenda to establish a state on the land they called their own. Understandably, the Palestinians, and those who support them, are opposed to the Zionist project and the Jews who realized it for these emotional and political considerations. Additionally, the Israeli Military Occupation of the West Bank Territories and the Blockade of Gaza represents a true legal and humanitarian crisis for Supporters of an Independent Palestine and the Palestinian People. To many in the world community, the Palestinians must have the right to go back to their homes (although it is doubtful that the Arabs would have permitted that right to the Jews should the Arabs have been victorious in the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9).

6) Arab Nationalism: Arab Nationalism as a movement crystallized in the 1930s and came to the political fore in the 1960s. Arab Nationalism is a movement that seeks to create an Arab State or multiple Arab States based on common cultural and historical markers. This movement began to make a tether between Arab cultural identity and Islamic religious identity. This was especially keen in places with large non-Muslim communities because those communities typically worked closely with the European colonizers seen to be repressing the Arab identity. Zionism, which is a movement based on a European cultural identity and a Jewish religious identity was antithetical to the Arab Nationalist movement ideologically and claims territory that Arab Nationalists also claim putting them at odds politically.

7) Islamism: Islamism, the political philosophy that Shari'a or Islamic Religious Law should be the grounds upon which a state is ruled (as opposed to Islam, which is the religion), want to create a government that falls within their stringent and puritanical view of Islamic moral standards. In the Islamist conception, only Muslims should be in power in the State and any non-Muslim minorities should have a secondary role if they should have one at all, whereas Jews are too "uppity" in having created a state where they are in the dominant position. Second, Israel is situated in territory which used to be governed by Muslims for nearly 1300 years (with a century-long break under the Crusader States). As a result, Israel is considered a usurpation of historical Islamic authority whereas European countries (for example) never had Islamic authority before. Islamists have talked about reintroducing the jizya tax, a symbol of humiliation for Non-Muslims in both the Gaza Strip and in the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). At present, since no Jews live in either area, the primarily target of these laws would be Christians, but they do intend to subject the Jews to at least the jizya, if not outright execution and genocide, if they had the chance.

8) Systemic "Religionism": In the US South in the 1980s, segregation was no longer legal, but the imprint of segregation was still felt in the south. Miscegination between Blacks and Whites was not really accepted and Whites generally had a negative attitude toward Blacks, even though they were legally equal. This is called Systemic Racism. It is is much the same situation in most Islamic Countries, but with religion instead of race. Historically, Jews, Christians, Sikhs, and Hindus under Islamic governments were second-class citizens and so the transition to making them truly equal partners suffers from this history. Conversely, very few Muslims (prior to the last 50 years) lived in minority-Muslim countries, preventing the development of an Islam without Systemic Religionism.

9) Qur'anic Injunctions: Of course, different Muslims interpret the Qur'an differently, but there are certainly Qur'anic verses that can be read by those seeking to be intolerant of good grounds to do so. Q: 3:19 claims that the only religion that is acceptable to God is Islam. Q: 3:110 claims that Muslims are the best people in all history. Q: 8:55 claims that those who disbelieve are the worst of animals. Q: 9:29 argues for the repression and inequality of Jews and Christians before Muslims. -- There are numerous other verses that promote the view that intolerance and inequality between Muslims and Non-Muslims is Divinely Supported, creating difficulty in rejecting it. Additionally, the Qur'an has numerous verses that are Anti-Semitic or Hateful towards Christians.

10) Denial of Intolerance: Most Muslims refuse to believe that they discriminate or harbor any animus towards individuals of different faiths. (There are some exceptions like Sheikh Hamza Yusuf who has noted that Muslim violence against Jews in the US is more common than all violence against Muslims, but he is rare in this respect.) Individuals who openly criticize and comment on the discrimination, both legal and systemic of religious minorities are given death threats and told to their faces that they are lying. Politicians who try to make laws that are more equal or less biased have been assassinated (especially in Pakistan). Non-Muslims are forced to apologize for "inciting" any rage that is manifested towards them. In a society where the discriminated cannot get their message into the open, people will not be able to realize what is happening.

11) Community Reinforcement: The Muslim Community generally has internal reinforcement of the notions that the Jews are eternal enemies of Muslims, are descended from apes and pigs, kill Muslims for enjoyment, and many other forms of commonplace Anti-Semitic rhetoric. There are numerous rallies where Muslims declare their unending support to the eradication of the Jewish people and will occasionally praise Hitler's "achievements" in this regard. There are some center-line Muslims (in addition to more liberal Muslims) who oppose this like Yusuf Hamza and Tariq Ramadan, but polls among Muslim communities show deeply-ingrained Anti-Semitic attitudes and a lack of knowledge about actual Jewish customs, beliefs, and history.

12) Fifth Column: Jews, especially, but also Christians and Hindus are seen by many Muslims as fifth columns in Islamic countries supporting foreign powers. Jews are usually accused of being "Zionists", a term which is never properly defined, and supporting Israel. Christians are usually seen as supporting the West against the Islamic countries. Hindus are often seen as spies from India against Pakistan. This makes these minorities untrustworthy to the Muslim-majority unless they clearly disavow any association with the country/ies to which they supposedly have allegiance instead of the Islamic State.

13) Islamic Supremacism: Islam has several doctrines which are followed by a small radicalized minority that call for a continued conquest of Non-Islamic Countries to be ruled by Muslims and to become part of a worldwide Islamic Empire. These groups believe in using violence to as well as politics to overpower and frighten Non-Muslims into accepting their school of thinking.

Answer 8

You know, religion has little to do with it, but Arabs quite often hate Jews.

Answer 9

No. Most people do not hate Muslims. Unfortunately, those people who do have hatred are quite passionate about it and are therefore much more noticeable.

Answer 10

Generally no one hate Muslims because hatred is against all God religion teachings. However, there may be some exceptional minorities who hate Muslims for some reason or another.
