Why? I am a Muslim and why are we hated so much. Is it 9/11. Let me ask you this do you actually belive everthing Bush says? DO you have any proof we did anyting to do with 9/11? How do you not know it is a propagada?

Ok? and I could ask why people hate americans so much. But for real, lets stop the 9/11 conspiracy BS, that pisses me off, people who believe it was a conspiracy are just as ignorant as people who "hate" americans or muslims. But have you ever been to the middle east? Im guessing a majority of those people dislike americans because of what they see on tv n what not..so lets not start a double standard-being that its ok to hate americans but not ok to hate muslims(there should be no hate between either one though)

Actually, not everyone from the Middle East hate Americans. You can not say something like that.

I said a majority, that doesnt mean everyone-it means 51 percent or more

It's still not that and I have lived in the Middle East for 7 years.

i don't hate Muslims. i don't hate Christians or Buddhist's or any other religious people. i dislike the extremist's on all sides, but i have met many fine Muslims in my time just as i have met many fine Christians. anyone who hate by the group is a foul.

I don't see it as hate, but more as not understanding your values and not accepting it because they don't like the way women dress or such. People who hate muslims are still stuck with some terrorist idea in their head and should be ignored.

Im just saying people shouldnt be hating americans either... i mean if you read those threads about the marine throwing the puppy then you probably saw people saying they hate their own country now, yet theres some pretty disturbing things on the internet that terrorists(not nessascarily muslims) do to human beings, and no one says anything...so it jsut seems like theres more talk about hating americans than muslims.

I don't think anyone really can say anything whatsoever about the people of the Middle East purely based on what you see in the news. You can say things about the few that you see in the news, but not beyond that. There are an awful lot of people there who just want to be left alone and allowed to live their lives in peace. Think about how many people you see in the news from the Middle East. A very generous estimate would put the number at 10,000. The number of people living in Iraq alone is nearly 30,000,000. That means that if all you saw were people from Iraq, you'd still have only gotten a glimpse at 3.3% of the population. That means that you have never even seen anything about 96.7% of the population.

This is precisely why I try my best to never, never talk in generalizations.

I don't "hate" muslims, and I disagree with your hypothesis that western people in general "hate" muslims... however, I do think most westerners don't understand or trust muslims... I guess hearing some muslims espouse a position of "hate of" western culture and "death to" westerners in general without their muslim brother saying to STFU... makes us a little wary and distrustful... you don't usually hear "death to muslims" in the west without a significantly louder backlash from other westerners to STFU... I just don't understand why the muslim majority is so silent on this...

The media portrays it that way, that is why people think they hate Americans. Inall actuality the majority of them liked us being there, they are trying to become more independent as time goes on but the majority of them don't mind our presence, they usually invite troops over for tea and have friendly conversations.

The media tends to exaggerate things way out of proportion, but i guess that is how they get ratings and in their world thats all that matters.

Probably because we don't understand their culture/religion. Instead of trying to understand them, we choose to shun them. In all honesty, I have no clue, I'm just trying to sound somewhat smart.

Once again, when some of you guys say "Muslims" this does NOT include ALL Muslims since there are different types. Furthermore, if you have lived in the Middle East or were born there, then you can have a say as to what a sample of Muslims think of Americans and such. I would also like to mention that, Iraq is not the only country with Muslim people, obviously. And, not all Muslim women have to cover their hair, skin and such. There are a few sample of Muslims that have a different life style.

i don't hate muslims, one of my best friends is lebanese. bush never said that all muslims were evil or whatever, and it's proven that al qaida was behind 9/11. that doesn't mean that all muslims are evil, anyone who says that is just racist.

People who hate muslims are idiots. Not all muslims are fundamental radicals, and every religion has those groups who take things way too far out of context and try to raise havoc. Look at the WBBS and that kook Fred Phelps.

Muslim, Christian, Jewish, whatever we should treat each other with dignity and respect to those who earn and deserve it.

If I recall correctly, Phelps declares that everyone, even Christians, who do not belong to his church and his church alone are all going to hell when they die. Even Jerry Falwell, one of the biggest icons of fundamentalist Christianity, declared that Phelps was a nut.

First off I don't hate muslims. I hate people who pervert religion for their own ends, extremists.

Infact, being a Christian, I share the same God as Muslims do.

Just for reference, I don't appreciate you calling Bush a liar, when it has been proven several times over that a group of extremists, who happen to call themselves muslim, attacked the World Trade Center.

I don't hate Muslims. My best friend is a Shiite Muslim. He was born here and has lived here his whole life, so he's just like me. His parents have a THICK accent though. I hate the radical Muslims that wanna kill all Americans though. But he's not like that, he is just like me, except for his religion and skin color. And he has to fast during Ramadan and do all the other stuff they have to do, but he really is just a normal American kid.

Because the media tells people to. TV shows and magazines portray muslims as gun weilding suicidal maniacs when really they are no different from Christians or Jewish people (besides the core beliefs). It s the same thing with a lot of minority groups like black, gays, etc.

Christianity and Islam do not mix. There have been holy wars because of it. But as far as the people are concerned, i dont hate them, its part of my duty to try and convert them if I can.

In beliefs yes, but not in how they act on a regular basis. I can work/associate with/go to school with someone who is Jewish or Muslim, but it doesn't mean that they will act incredibly different from myself or other Christians. They're still people that have interests and feelings, and won't follow the stereotypical "crazy" muslim or "greedy" Jew images.

I don't hate Muslims, but I certainly have issues with parts of their lifestyles.

My biggest issue is and always will be... the religion itself. I've got a few religious friends, and I ALWAYS keep at the back of my mind that they are religious. I just can't help it. I will openly admit, I trully fear religion. I fear what it can do to a person, how it can subtly alter their perceptions of life and reality; I've seen friends converted and when they changed... it was hard to relate to them anymore.

I don't have a problem if someone says that they don't really want to get along with another group of people, so long as they have a real reason for it. Skin colour does not suffice. I don't give a s*** that muslims often come from non-European backgrounds. Most of my friends aren't European.

Living in New Zealand, I'll say it openly that I trust Indonesia (the largest Islamic country in the world) about as far as I can piss. Their leadership is borderline fundamentalist and their army's command is no better. Radical Islam scares me, it scares me BIG time. I fear war like nothing else. But when I see the Islamic world and the world of Bush and Blair's religious right lined up against each other, it pisses me off.

How DARE they let the world get into such a state. The whole Middle East v's the West is one of the most disgusting situations in the history of mankind. They forget that people who hold no belief live in this world as well; and that the majority of them want nothing to do with those barbaric warmongers.

I don't know every Muslim so I cannot say I hate them, but I hardly cannot really talk to a few of Muslims that I've known online *due to the fact that they have had attitude issues :x and we've never ONCE talked about religion... :?* also they could work on their spelling. >__>

But the only reason I'm not on par with Muslims is due to the fact I enjoy eating bacon. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to bash your religious belief about not eating bacon, but I just really enjoy consuming it in proper proportions every once in a while. :|

I do not hate Muslims, and have many muslim friends

(I live in Australia) you know what? All of them and most other muslims I know either dislike or hate Jews and/or America.

I talk to my friend and he says he hates Jews because of what Isreal does and I can't begin to tell him how unfair that is. Also that same for America. He hates Bush because of Iraq and now he hates America.

I would think many Muslims are guilty of hypocracy when talking about Hateing other countires and races.

Maybe because they tend to be unsocial. If you cover your face up you will get hated. When communicating with someone I personally feel its a sign of disrespect when the person doesn't remove his hat/or sunglasses. Just a thought...
