I have met many people who have said that all Muslims are horrible people and that their religion only teaches violence. I myself am a Christian and I see the truth in Muslims. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but most terrorists are considered Muslim. Why do most people hate/think poorly of Muslims?

I know it's a lot like that in school here. My friend always gets called a terrorist because he's Indian.
If people think like that they are ignorant.

Most wouldn't be the correct term to use. Are there some? Sure, there's some people who live in America who hate Muslims, Jews, religious people, atheists, etc.

It is far from most Americans, there are close minded people everywhere. It has nothing to do with Americans, or Muslims. Every country has people who are narrow minded and ignorant.

Because there are a lot of ignorant Americans who blame an entire population on the acts of a select few. Most muslims view the extremists similarly to how we view the Westboro Baptist Church.

I know. It really bugs me by how much people think they know the Islamic religion. They just follow the media. The media only posts the worse of situations to get views. Nobody would watch the news if nothing bad was happening. I'm not even Muslim. I'm white and a Christian and I still respect Muslims.

For the same reason the American people hated the Japanese (even their innocent civilians) after the attacks on Pearl Harbor. It is this ignorant mindset some people have that think that all of them are that way. It is an irrational fear they have. It's kind of depressing really.

Well where I'm from its kind of bad. A lot of people here think poorly of Muslims. Even my dad. I tried talking to him about it but he's got his mind set that the Quaran (I think that's how you spell it. Correct me if I'm wrong) only teaches violence and to kill anyone who doesn't agree with the religion.

But I've never really seen hate for the Japanese people. They bombed us and we nuked them. I think we're kind of neutral with the Japanese for now in terms of Americans and Japanese people disliking each other.

You also were not observing some of the actions that took place after Pearl Harbor then.
If this sort of thing bothers you, I advise you read into this and the physiology behind it.

Why do people think it's only people from America that hates an ethnicity?


Because of events that Extremists have caused, people blame all Muslims when it's not their fault, it's the Extremists.


Every country has narrow minded people who hate others because they are from a different background, it's stupid, embrace one an other.
