Whats with hatred towards mormons, muslims, and other non-christian religions?

I know alot of people have negative stereotypes towards them.

Examples

Muslims being terrorists

Mormons having 10000 wives

Budhists being hipsters

etc.

I think it is pretty absurd that religions pretty similar to christianity such as Judiasm, Islam, or Mormonism create such unrelenting hate.

This came to my attention because 1. Donald Trump called Huntsman a liar because he was a mormon.

2. Newt Gingrinch (epitome of corruption) destroys Romney in the polls... Infact its seems as if all the republicans hate Mitt Romney because he is mormon because Gingrinch flopped just as much.

3. President Obama is hated by some for being a secret muslim (which is untrue and even by the slight chance he attended a christian church for decades while secretly practicing Islam because he knew he would be president someday) would it matter?

Our country is a secular country and not a theocracy no matter how hard some try to make it one.

Um. Not everyone lives in "wherever you are talking about country"

EDIT: SNEAKY TITLE CHANGE, DISMISS THIS POST.

Thats what I was thin- WHOA SNEAKY TITLE CHANGE. BAD TC, BAD TC.

Perhaps instead of implying that everyone feels this way when you make certain threads, why don't you just give specific examples and speak to those kinds of people?

I guarantee you will have a much more pleasant experience on these forums.

You should writea user guide for this forum.

I was always under the impression that mormonism was a sect of christianity.

Only if the mods will sticky it. Otherwise, I'm not going through the effort. :P

People dislike things they are not familiar with. Happens everywhere. But I really dont see a ton of hatred other than some people's fear of islam because they automatically associate it with terrorism.

Ummm he just asked a question.

It is a fact that the Bible talks about stoning childeren and other radical things (its funnyt that Christians do not get discriminated against though)... I hope one day those who judge others find the errors of their ways.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="sonicare"] Honestly, the NT preaches incredible tolerance. At least my understanding of it. "Love they neighbor as thy self, turn the other cheek, let he who is without sin cast the first stone, etc." I'm not actively religous, but my understanding of it when I was in school, was the NT was more about peace and forgiveness. You cant put the blame on hate on that. Certainly the followers can have their faults, but the words ring true.

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] Well, except for the antisemitic teaching in the Book of John and all of Paul's homophobic rants-Sun_Tzu-

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"][QUOTE="sonicare"] I thought the early christians were jews. But my understanding of the bible is probably limited. I dont practice and am not religous. I just went to catholic high school. And Paul's rants were exclusively directed at xaos. lol

LJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] They were Jews, especially before Paul. But Paul really changed the Jewish/Christian dichotomy. And even in most of the gospels - Jesus, while he debates with the pharisees (who were the forerunners of rabbinical Judaism), remains pretty respectful. At least until the Book of John, where there's a clear change in rhetoric. Jesus all of a sudden becomes much more confrontational and inflammatory, and begins to refer to those who don't believe that he is the messiah with the blanket term "the Jews."-Sun_Tzu-

If people did more research into the Muslim faith they'd realise that Muhammed wanted his followers to fight like hippies.

because people are hypocrites.

[QUOTE="Just-Breathe"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Religion doesn't create hateultrapc

Islam is a horrible, evil 'religion' based upon hate.Weenski

Meh, I hate all religions equally, I don't discriminate. I don't hate the believer, though, just the organization he/she belongs to.

[QUOTE="ultrapc"][QUOTE="Just-Breathe"] Have you read the bible?MAZ85

The Quran is an interesting book. Early on Muhammad spoke very favorably of the Jewish people (he really had a thing for Moses in particular) as a means to convert them, but as time went on and as Jews weren't converting Muhammad's opinion of them changed (a similar thing happened with Martin Luther). This evolution of views is reflected in the Quran itself.

As for your quote challenge:

Surah 4:161 -That they [the Jews] took usury, though they were forbidden; and that they devoured men's substance wrongfully;- we have prepared for those among them who reject faith a grievous punishment.

Whether it is directed at Christians, Jews, Muslims, blacks, asians, latinos, gays..... the one thing there is no shortage of in this world is hate-filled people.

I found it kinda funny though that towards the end of OP, TC seems pretty angry (dare I say hateful) towards religious folk in general.

the mormons had this pretty racist thing going on for awhile about the existence of black people. Diviniuz
