Why do so many people hate Islam?

[Napkiraly]

Do you even know what jihad is?

I know what 9/11 was.

We'll take that as a no.

[Spoder]

You say that as if being a Muslim is some form of prerequisite for being a terrorist.

They are terrorists because there Muslims, and hate american and I hate them back.

[The Union of the West]

I blame the media.

[Flyover]

I love the Kurds, and the majority of them are Muslims. I do have a problem with political Islamism, which is facsist. If you look at my flag, it is a symbol of the YPG, the group that is fighting ISIS in Kobani, and who rescued tens of thousands of Christians and Yazidis in Iraq.

But aren't the Kurds moderate, fairly-secularised Muslims?

They're still Muslims, so they still count.

[Senyosu]

Anger, fear, and ignorance blinds people.

Yes, those have been a big help to Islamist terrorist recruiters.

Fear is fuel to bad things.

#Jediism intensifies

[Patrimonium Petri]

Jihad is the Arabic for holy war. It was the reason why the initial Abbasid and Umayyad caliphates expanded so rapidly. It fell out of usage after 1650.

[Senyosu]

You say that as if being a Muslim is some form of prerequisite for being a terrorist.

They are terrorists because there Muslims, and hate american and I hate them back.

You really are a child, aren't you.

[Chumway Sucks]

They fight Muslim terrorists.

Not all Muslims are terrorists. Most, and I say most for I came from a Muslim majority country and understand their issues just as well as them--They hate the terrorists too, Muslims fear terrorists and foreign intervention alike.

You are like kicking a wounded child. Scared and enraged, just as you are.

They have lost all trust for me. Too many times have they hurt Christians and Americans and its time we fight back.

[Napkiraly]

You say that as if being a Muslim is some form of prerequisite for being a terrorist.

They are terrorists because there Muslims, and hate american and I hate them back.

You do realise there are Americans who are Muslim and have served in the military in places like Afghanistan and Iraq yes? You do realise that not all Muslims hate America right?

[Senyosu]

Jihad is the Arabic for holy war. It was the reason why the initial Abbasid and Umayyad caliphates expanded so rapidly. It fell out of usage after 1650.

That is the lesser jihad. The greater jihad is the inner struggle of the soul.

[Lost heros]

You say that as if being a Muslim is some form of prerequisite for being a terrorist.

You do realize there are American Muslims, who are ridiculously patriotic right?
Just because someone in some group did something bad to America, doesn't mean he entire group hates America and wants to kill them all.

They have lost all trust for me. Too many times have they hurt Christians and Americans and its time we fight back.

Tell me what is wrong with this statement:

"I have been hurt by Americans too many times, and even though I know it's a minority of Americans that are at fault, I will hate them all anyways."

[Senyosu]

Revenge and barbaric revanchism is not the answer.

Hear, hear!
Oh, and my first friend in this world was a Muslim. Therefore an Islamophobe doesn't know the nice people he's missing.

Have you seen ISIS? They have declared a new jihad, and it is sicking. We must do something about it, like fighting back.

Not sure what you are trying to achieve here.

Fun fact, most of those fighting them back are Muslims.

How naive.

[Saiwania]

The answer is quite simple. I hate Islam because I'm diametrically opposed to all that Islam stands for and find the actions of its founder to be deplorable. I'd be able to tolerate Islam more if a lot of Muslims weren't so hell bent on conversion by the sword and the subjugation of all non-Muslims. I refuse to submit to Islam as Islamists ask, who want to conquer the world.

Quran 8:12

Not sure what you're getting at. Judaism and Christianity have shitty and violent verses in them as well.

If you weren't a child you would realize the Us doesn't have economy to do this world policing anymore it's time fore the pussy Europeans to step up the Us would self destruct if it goes to war any time soon you don't realize how it costs just to do air strikes

[Murkwood]

Quran 8:12

Not sure what you are trying to achieve here.

"[Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, "I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip."

Beats me what he's trying to get at.

Read through this thread, and you'll see how absurd this argument is. You may have taken the cake for the worst possible reason to hate Islam yet, since at least the former holder of that title could use fear.
