Why Do They Hate Islam?

[DaWoad]

As were all those pesky diseases, like cancer.
Bio-terrorism. They started it.

It's even in their holy book! They say their god created the sun . . .biggest cause of cancer out there! If thats not promoting bioterrorism I don't know what is!

Did you know that the sun uses nuclear power ?
OMG - they have nukes ! We cannot let Iran have nukes after we gave nukes to all its neighbours despite all the treaties we signed saying we wouldn't ! We must blot out the sun !

lmfao nice!

The sun does not use nuclear power. The fusion it does is the fusing of the love of Jesus with the Holiness of the Holy Ghost.

Muslims don't want us to have solar power so we will be addicted to their oil. That's why we should invade Iran and take their oil.

Sort of like its moral for a drug addict to murder his dealer and take his stash. Its what Jesus would do.

Sadly, there is some seriousness in there.
While I do not want Iran to have nukes, they also have a point when they point out it is a bit odd that all those non-NPT signees in the neighbourhood were given them.

And shingles, which comes from space aliens.

This makes so much sense! Nothing else explains why a serious disease would have such a silly name.

[Scott Tree]

Not to mock the whole of your post, but these are fine examples of how spell-check makes mistakes funnier.

I know I made it at 3 am in the morning I figured something would be wrong thank for pointing out the mistakes.

[Conserative Morality]

I hate Islam in the same way I hate Christianity. Yet I hate neither Christians nor Muslims.

So the aliens are responsible for this AND for sex addiction? Those bastards!

Muslims... FROM SPAAAAAAACE!!

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but most terrorists are Muslim.

You've never heard of Northern Ireland, have you?

Or the Basque ETA... Serbian Chetniks... Croatian neo-ustasha... Italian Brigate Rosse, Ordine Nuovo, Prima Linea... French OAS (iirc)... German RAF... those Japanese buddhist whackos with nerve gas...

Ebil m00zlem, all of them.

Timothy McVeigh's real name was Tariq al Mehalel too.

[Vanzef]

I would like to know, where are there such a vast number of people who hate (or strongly dislike) people of Islam. I am a Lutheran Christian, but I have no problem with Muslims, my aunt married an immigrant from Iraq in '98. and hes a Muslim, and hes a perfectly nice guy. I mean, sure, Islam is very different then what the West is used to, but then again, at one point paper was too...

To re-state the question:
why do so many people dislike/hate Muslims?

You forgot to include the "I hate all religions" option. I voted yes because I loathe all religions and spiritual beliefs. I see them belief in them as mental disorders and the systems themselves as means of populace control which work admirably well at gaining money and power for those in charge, all under the pretense of morality and righteousness.

They're called stereotypes. Learn them. Embrace them. Love them.

Thanks, I could not for the life of me remember the name of the Spanish terrorist organization.

[Brandenburg-Altmark]

I don't like islam because many Muslims are extremisms.

But there are Christian extremists, Jewish extremists, Buddhist extremists, Hindu extremists, Sikh extremists...

Buddhist extremists? Enlighten me(lols) on this one, as i've never heard of it before. From what I recall Buddhism is so focused on promoting peace and so unconcerned with the beliefs of non-buddhists that it seems impossible for extremist groups to form.

[Geilinor]

I don't hate Islam, I just disagree with it. What kind of religion causes people to become terrorists/suicide bombers, etc.
Also, Islamic nations like Saudi Arabia have terrible human right and discriminate against women.I'm not a woman, but I still believe women should be treated the same as men.
However, I do hate religion in general, so my opinions are probably biased.

Iran isn't trusted by much of the world.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

i dislike the persians even more than the arabs. we should return to uor original faith Tengrism

Do you have a list of ethnicities going down in how much you like them?

I am inclined to believe this poster, Ulu Turan, is lying, through his teeth. From what I know about Turkey, of how people from different ethnicity and religious backgrounds co-exist in peace, his racism seems like a front.

Turkey, for starters, is a secular state. People from all denominations (Christian, Jewish, Armenian Apostolic, Sephardi, Greek Orthodox, and others) live there without a problem. Although a majority of the people are Muslim (7 million, IIRC), there seems to be no indication of the Turks sharing the same ideas as Ulu Turan.

Turkey has a very diverse culture that is a blend of various elements of the Oğuz Turkic, Anatolian, Ottoman (which was itself a continuation of both Greco-Roman and Islamic cultures) and Western culture and traditions, which started with the Westernization of the Ottoman Empire and still continues today. This mix originally began as a result of the encounter of Turks and their culture with those of the peoples who were in their path during their migration from Central Asia to the West

Some other religions that co-exist with Islam: Muslim 99%, Christian, Bahai, and Jewish.

[Intangelon]

Well, "strike off the heads of unbelievers" and "lay in ambush for them wherever they are" are kinda provocative statements for a so-called religion of peace. THe overwhelming majority of other faiths shook off their more violent exhortations a while back. Islam? Not so much.

[The Golden hoarde]

Watch Obsession, never mind it's mostly propaganda the readings from the Koran aren't...damn religious mucking everything up for the rest of us....

[UnhealthyTruthseeker]

Seriously, nobody got my reference to the latest South Park episode?

I don't hate Muslims. I don't hate Islam. I hate self-important, obstinate, close minded jackasses regardless of their faith, especially when they often have bombs attached.

I'm a Christian, but first and foremost, I am a clown, a wacko and a sex fiend.

Only a person of your insanity could make those things mutually compatible.

To start with, I think we only find what it is that we are looking for, It is all about our attituide. For example,am a musilm and almost all my teachers say the same thing whenever my mom goes for PTA, "he is a pleasure to have in class, he has good manners", etc. I choose to what am looking for, no one does.

[Tmutarakhan]

As an ideology, I find Islam to be the most irredeemable of the Abrahamic religions, although the fundamentalist Christians are a more immediate threat to me than the fundamentalist Muslims. Muslims that I meet here in the US tend to be students or shopkeepers, and I've never had a really unfriendly encounter with any of them. Muslims from majority-Muslim countries I only meet on boards like this, so perhaps I am not getting a good sampling, but my encounters with them have been uniformly unpleasant; even when I talked to a "moderate" Muslim (she was born in England, and converted in order to marry an Egyptian man and move there), the longer I talked to her, the more horrified I became.
