Why do people hate islam?

[Spendulus]

I think some people hate Islam because of what they see and hear in the news, social media, radio and television. The terrorists attack and suicide bombing were claimed by ISIS that's why some people generalized that muslims are bad. But for me, I don't believe that religion is the reason why they do those kinds of thing, because I myself have muslim friends and officemates and they are good people. We can't judge people base on their religion.

However, we can judge religions by the acts that they condone, or even encourage. The question is why do people hate Islam (the religion), not muslims. Most people are decent in spite of their religion, or we would never have left the caves.

One interesting part of this discussion is that various people want to say that people who do Islamic extremist atrocities do not do them because of their religion, when the people committing the atrocities themselves say they are doing them because of Islam extremist beliefs.

In other words, people who leave their suicide-bomber goodbye video and explictly say they want to be judged as Islamic, others are saying "we can't judge people based on their religion."  I don't understand this.

Rather a bit of 1984 style double plus goodthink, isn't it?

What you say seems very logical to me.

but if some one hate islam it meant that he hate to muslims. because islam without Muslims is nothing. Mulims are the representative of Islam. however i will like to add that there are different kind of people in this world having differen mentality and thoughts. so you will find some people who hate islam some hate cristiannity other hate budist and so on.

Bull.  You cannot speak for others, only yourself.  If someone says he hates Islalm but not Muslims, why not take him at his word?

You're wrong. I hate Christianity, but I don't hate most Christians. I think they're deluded, and I'm dead certain that their various sectarian institutions are criminals, but they're just people who believe something unbelievable. Much the same with Islam and Muslims.

Some people hate math. 

Many, many "Things" are hateable.  The varmits that get into my garden are hateable.  The squirrels that eat all my peaches.  Stupid, ridiculous theories and cultural things are "hateable."

Smells and colors can be hated.   Certain cities, parts of them, and certain times of day can be hated.  The timeclock that people punched in at the beginning of a day was certainly hated.

Lol...

People hate Islam because they are shown on TV as evil people killing innocents all over the world in the name of the religion. The media is portraying muslims as evil to keep people away from the truth of Islam. No matter how much they try, still people find the truth about Islam and accept it. After 9/11, many many people accepted Islam because they wanted to know how a religion can preach so evil. In their research, they came to know about the beauty of Islam and accepted it.

[Xester]

I personally do not hate the religion Islam.  I have a friend before who were Muslims and they are just like the same with us.  They are friendly, courteous, and disciplined.  They really have time to worship Allah. 

Terrorist happened to be under the religion of Islam and tend to bend their beliefs by committing crimes.  They said that it is the teachings of their religion, to kill who were not one of them.  To kill those who didn't believe on their teachings.  Maybe they took it too literally.  Or maybe they just want to do those evil crime and used their religion to validate their immoralities.

yeah, so do I. I think many people has wrong understanding about Islam or Muslim. As I know, Islam is nice religion like others religion. I think just because terrorist are dominant by Muslim, people just take short cut to understand it. Like this logic scheme: Terrorist members are dominant by Muslim, and terrorists are bad people, people hate bad people. So the conclusion is people hate Muslim. It is absolutely wrong logical thinking.
Can I say that the true or nice Muslim are the victim from terror tragedy?

Actually if we see again, there are many isms in some religions. Like in Christian, there are Bethelism (Church), Pentecostalism, and so on. So do Islam, in my country such as Muhammadyah ism, Naydathul Ulama ism, and others (I don't have many knowledge about it, maybe there are many local ism more). So, the terrorism has it own ism which based on Islam religion. Although, (I think) its not the pure or the true Islam anymore.

So, maybe that's why people see Islam as religion of terrorists and they hate terrorist.
I don't have Muslim or Islam, but I hate terrorist.

You just described almost every religion out there, not specifically Islam. The Christian bible has several instances of women being stoned to death as well as people being burned alive with fire for partaking in homosexual acts.

No, I have not described almost every religion out there.  I have specifically described Islam today.

You are attempting to equate Christianity of way in the past as comparable.

People see through that pretty darn fast.

Well..
no. But the major ones for sure. However, Christianity (which I view as a horrible religion), has mellowed out. Islam has not. If Christians followed their religion, they would be as or more violent than the Muslims. Thankfully, Christianity grew up. They've realized (for the most part) that not everyone is going to convert, even with the sword. Islam has not reached this point. Given the seven hundred year disparity, not all that surprising, but with modern weapons, it becomes a MUCH more serious problem. 700 years ago, ONE fanatic couldn't waste very many innocents before being killed or negated himself. This is no longer true.

The questions stand. Your red herring has been addressed.

Give examples of where you can see that Christianity is a violent religion. Yes, Christians, strict rules. But it is not cruel. Christianity encourages strictly refers to itself. But Christianity, or when they did not call for violence against other religions. When you see examples of Christian violence. Do not confuse the Orthodox and Catholics. Orthodox, or when not to attack other religions. Orthodox, defended himself.

People hate Islam because of the current media view on it scaring the shit out of people. Combined with the fact that due to the mass number of Muslims around the globe, there are a large number of secular and unfortunately fundamentalists alike.

Many people on here will accuse Islam of having barbaric views but religeon is about what you focus on. I assure you Judaism and Christianity have barbaric scripture as well, but we don't focus on them in today's society. its unfair to blame or categorize all of Islam as one group of people because they are actually hundreds of millions of people, with very different beliefs and values depending on where they are from and how religiously they were raised.
