Why do people hate Muslims and Islam?

I’m a Muslim and I do my best to follow my religion, I’m not an extremist though. I just want to know why so many people hate us and our religion? Their excuses are always because of 9/11 and the Sharia Law. I know and guarantee for a fact that most Muslims DESPISE Osama Bin Laden for what he did to make people hate us so much. It’s just that why can’t people see that not ALL Muslims are terrorists? Some people are really ignorant about this.

Example: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=187143034770477&set=a.181375042013943.1073741828.181372242014223&type=1&theater

I don’t want to be hated on. Muslim means peace but what Osama brought to you wasn’t. It’s not all of us that are terrible.

  • Most folks were unaware or unfamiliar about what muslims and Islam was all about, – until 9/11.

    So much for 1st impressions. – Now y’all have a tough row to hoe.

    (and you can’t go around claiming – “Look at how many people we didn’t kill today!”)

  • They why don’t you bother to try and change those Muslims who ARE the extremists. You so called moderates just seem to ignore them and let them kill and kill. If you ignore it, then you are just as bad as them

  • Western media and propaganda is the problem. The Americans have little exposure to Muslims in America so they assume that all Muslims are those represented in their daily doses of propaganda and misinformation. Then there is the simple element of xenophobia. In summary, chock it up to disturbingly profound ignorance and arrogance.

    R&S is also the wrong place to look for sympathy. This section is dominated by mean spirited atheist trolls.

  • I don’t hate people, I just don’t like the religion. It makes represses freedom and segregates people.

  • where do i start OMG

  • If you don’t like being hated on, the internet is not the place for you. lol

    Even non-religious, heterosexual white males like myself get “hated on” on the internet. Grow thicker skin or leave.

  • Most people dont hate Muslims, yall think we do because thats all thats on the news and the news stations know that will sale. Now a lot do hate Muslims, but I myself refuse to get caught up in the propaganda from either side.

  • Honestly I don’t hate muslims or Islam. I do have a problem with terrorists, or extremists as you call them.

  • Why don’t you take a look at this ranking of countries by women’s rights. It’s a pdf file and the countries are listed on pages 8 and 9. Notice the countries crowding out the BOTTOM of the list.

    Why don’t you take a look at Islamic scripture. It allows husbands to beat their wives. Muhammad himself beat his wife Aisha. Apostates and gays are to be killed.

    I don’t hate Muslims, but I despise Islam. It is a plague upon humanity.

  • Yeah, just like Rezluz said, your leaders arent acting against the extremists. They usually just say terrorism is very sad and then move on. They dont really speak out or take action against the terrorist groups.

  • It’s very complicated. Part of it is the media; violence sells, so by promoting a narrative that all followers of Islam want to kill “infidels” news networks get more viewers. Obviously, this is a goal, so they do that. The fact that there are people still bombing American forces in Afghanistan (never mind the fact that that COULD be as much due to the fact that we more or less invaded and are imposing American ideals on a country that doesn’t necessarily want them…) doesn’t help.

    Another part of it is that we fear that which is different from our experience. Christianity is the predominant religion in the US, so we tend to be nervous about non-Christian, non-white groups.

    Basically? Base prejudice. It’s not a good reason, and some of us are more levelheaded and do try to explain that most Muslims see Al-Queda and other extremist/radical groups as the equivalent to the Westboro Baptist Church, but we can only do so much when the media promote a different view of reality.

  • The real test of the Christian faith, in the foreseeable future, is in the church’s willingness to love those who do not subscribe to the Jesus Way.

    I do not have facebook and never have, so I can not see.

  • Dear Friend,

    (Misconceptions due to media)

    The common misconceptions about Islam arise in the minds of a majority of
    non-Muslims, because they are constantly being bombarded with
    misinformation about Islam. International media is mainly controlled by the
    western world, whether it is international satellite channels, radio stations, news
    papers, magazines or books. Recently the Internet has become a powerful
    medium of information. Though it is not controlled by anybody, one finds a large
    amount of virulent propaganda about Islam on the Internet. Of course, Muslims
    too are utilizing this tool to portray the right image of Islam and Muslims, but
    they are far behind as compared to the propaganda against Islam. I hope the
    efforts by the Muslims will increase and continue to be pursued.

    (Da’wah is a duty)

    Most Muslims know that Islam is a universal religion, meant for all mankind.
    Allah (swt) is the Lord of the entire Universe, and Muslims have been entrusted
    with the duty of conveying His message to all mankind. Alas, most Muslims
    today have become callous towards this duty! While accepting Islam as the best
    way of life for ourselves, most of us are unwilling to share this knowledge with
    those to whom the message has not yet been conveyed.
    The Arabic word Da’wah means a call or an invitation. In Islamic context, it
    means to strive for the propagation of Islam.
    The Glorious Qur’an says:
    “Ah! Who is more unjust than those who conceal the testimony they
    have from Allah? But Allah is not unmindful of what ye do!”
    [Al-Qur’an 2:140]

    If you Truly want to Remove the Misconception about Islam from the back side of the Non-Muslims Mind then the link given below help you through.

  • don’t hate you – just have bad nerves when i see any muslims – just in case its a jihad day in the neighbourhood.

    sura 8:12 and sura 2:216 say you are not a real muslim if you don’t do jihad

  • Not all Muslims are terrorists but all Muslims belong to the world’s largest terrorist organization which is called Islam.

    Your problem, sir, is if you had any moral values at all you would throw out the terrorist organization you belong to. For some reason you won’t do that and that’s why you will always have my complete contempt.

    One more thing: Since Islam is a branch of theism it’s fair to say theism is a terrorist organization. Therefore if theists had any moral values they would throw out their theism disease. They won’t do that because they don’t want to throw out their cowardly idiotic magical heaven fantasy which by the way makes terrorism possible.

  • It’s nothing to do with media. If you wanna a religion based on violence and killing infidels then you can’t complain when some people take that aspect and use it as an excuse to do atrocious, evil things.

  • Simple answer? As the previous writer stated, stand up and shut down all Muslims who spew the vitriol that motivates the killings. No one sees the ‘good’ Muslims doing this so how can you trust any of them?

    Complex answer? Islam has to eradicate from its codex all notions of killing as a justified means to an end. So long as this sort of ‘code’ exists the programming is allowed to be carried out by the mules. Then there are the cultural overtones that exacerbate the ability for rational people to accept ‘Muslims’ since so many practice in country’s where people are treated like dirt, especially women. Finally, all religons have a egoist based condition that is problamatic. No prophet would espouse death and destruction much less treating people like dirt. It is the egoists who create these conditions and then hide their despicable behavior behind the cloak of ‘religion’ or religiosity to justify their actions.

  • You do your best to follow your religion. Then how could you possibly not expect to be hated? Have you not read the Quaran? Are you completely ignorant of the things Muhammad says? I don’t need 911 or the insanity of Sharia law to assert Islam is insane. I don’t need even one terrorist when I have the writings of the Prophet Muhammad.

  • Understand: I HATE is all EVERY RELIGION in the earth Jeremiah 10:14-15-21 and Jeremiah 51:17-18 and every nation that wars on G-D in the earth and every person that says there is NO G-D in the earth religions have made all others in their many religions HEATHENS. Psalm 2:1 to 7.

    Note the Bands Broken are between G-D’S people in every nation Ps.2:2-3. Note: the Cords cast off are the CORDS that would of UNITED you with G-D in HIS WOMB Jeremiah 10:20.

    So they make WAR ON G-D and HIS anointed in doing so: Ps.2:1 to 7 no children none HEAR or OBEY HIS DECLARE DECREE: This is HIS LAW and all the earth are being DESTROYED for LACK of this KNOWLDGE. Hosea 4:6.

    The Word EVERY means just that ! Jeremiah 10:14-15 and Jeremiah 51:17-18 is repeated for you to LOOK and LISTEN. Come out of them….G-D is NOT in them, HIS BREATH is NOT in them.

    They WAR on G-D IN them EVERY ONE does not call on the name of the LORD in them Jeremiah 10:21 and Jeremiah 51:23 Come out of them why PERISH with them Micah 4:5 and Hosea 4:6

    G-D did not create fools why be lead by a man or angel ? Did He not tell you over and over TRUST IN G-D alone ? Psalm 75:12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth. He led them in THERE SO CALLED holy war that killed G-D’S People in the earth. All religions have killed in the name of their gods.

    Psalm 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sons of man, in whom there is NO help.

    Now listen and look it is repeated TWICE for a REASON Jeremiah 10:14-15 and Jeremiah 51:17-18 same words.

    Jeremiah 10:14 EVERY man is BRUTISH in his KNOWLEDGE: EVERY founder is CONFOUNDED by the GRAVEN IMAGE: for his molten image is FALSEHOOD, and there is NO breath in them. 15 They are Vanity, and Work of Errors: in the time of their Visitation THEY SHALL PERISH.

    The THINKING of mankind and their RELIGIONS are not of G-D and they will PERISH as it is written: Jeremiah 51:23. They will PERISH when you all OPEN your eyes and ears….look and listen HEAR HIS VOICE .

    Jeremiah 11:7-8 you do not HEAR & OBEY Proverbs 1:7-8 you do not HEAR & OBEY.

    We all are seeds sow in His Spiritually DNA of His House from every nation and every people Jer.31:27 and Jer.32:27 that are to enter HIS BELLY and grow in our INWARD PARTS a new creation in the earth Proverbs 20:27. First Man was created above spirit Ps.82:5 to 8 first Man entered a vessel flesh Gen.6:3 . G-D broke the spirit with in them from HIM Ps.51:8.

    IT is not your FLESH mother that makes you a child of the LIVING G-D OF HOST it is your SPIRIT MOTHER that gathers the seeds of His DNA of His House in HIS WOMB Jer.10:20. It is DONE not by men nor princes BY HIS SPIRIT are you changed Zech.4:6, not by your holy days, your Sabbaths days, your new moons, your feast days…none of it did G-D ask of you Isaiah 1:12-13-14.

    The book you study from G-D did not MAKE Ecc.12:12. the lies are woven around TRUTH to make them believable…TO DECEIVE you in them. Only the BOOK OF THE LORD you need to read: Isaiah 34:16. Then when you read the many books of men and princes you see the TRUTH and see the lies hid in them Isaiah 28:15 they cover over you…. Isaiah 30:1

    Spiritually all are dead in this earth…all need to UNCOVER the lies and deceits of generations leading them in there spiritually graves. Seek only ONE G-D Isaiah 45:18-21-22. He is seen and heard in HIS DWELLING PLACE Ps.90:1 Ps.91:1 Ps.51:6 were you are MADE to KNOW Jer.31:33 HIS LAW is written on your HEART.

    G-D is your only Teacher Jeremiah 32:33 and He waits for you to TURN your backs from Him.

    To come out of the houses you build with your hands Jeremiah 32:34-35 and Micah 5:13.

    Only G-D can BUILD HIS TEMPLE Psalm 127:1 with HIS stones HIS SPIRIT gathers in the earth and makes ready to build above and below HIS KINGDOM 1 Kings 6:7 and Psalm 118:22-23.

    Come to G-D and He will embrace you. Isaiah 56:7-8 come and Hear & Obey Prov.1:7-8 Jer.11:7-8

  • Look a the historic record. Islam has a long and bloody history ripe with aggressive expansion and oppression. If it’s a peaceful religion it’s peace comes on it’s own terms and submission is the price. You might not be a terrorist,but the religion you follow uses them like a tool. The argument not all Muslims are terrorists holds no more water than any other “no true Scottsman” claim. The facts are that Sharia is a Muslim instution and it is opressive by our standards. Bin Laden was a Muslim and had a strong following of Muslims.

    Believe what you want but understand this. If you want us to trust Islam then Islam is going to have to change. Deeds must match words. Jizya, taqquia, kitman, foster distrust and demonstrate bigotry and arrogance.

    Instead of trying to change our perception of what we see. Try changing what we see.

  • So you don’t hate Osama Bin Laden because he killed 30 people in the name of your religion, you hate him because he made you and your cohorts look bad?

    That pretty much sums it up.

  • Osama Bin Laden- 9/11 was it really osama? “might makes it possible to get favours but it can’t buy & always going to lose from truth”
