Do you think Islam really hates us like everyone says?

It is more of fear of the unknown why people say that Islamic people hate us. I have friends that are Islamic and we get along just fine. It's the radical Islamic that do not like American. There are people all over the world that dislike American and America. I can't say it's a reason to give people the right to be racist, because racist people have been around since the beginning of man. Islamic people started this war with America in 2001 and for that people feels it's right to hate them. They are judging a religion on the acts of a few crazies.

I think a majority of Muslims do, but not nearly the entire two billion. It only takes nineteen to kill thousands, though, as we have seen.

I don't know, i haven't ask the millions upon millions of Muslims, whether they hater America. This number includes those I serve with. But, I have met very few "Americans" who have not asked me what my nationality is. Lol.

I don't know what to make of the OP in this thread. If ALL you hear is they ALL hate Americans, it makes me wonder who the hell you are listening to.

Islam in general, no, radical elements within the organization that foster hate and ill will towards anyone not Muslim, yes. I would say the vast majority of service members know the difference, as well as the majority of Americans, but like with all things there are those that believe that all Muslims hate us.

As true as this is (after all what would non-Christians think of Christianity by the way most of conduct ourselves) I see no non radical Muslims doing anything to curb their "brethern".

In order not to further confuse others, Muslim or spelled Moslem in other parts of the world is not a faith. A Muslim is one who follows the religion of Islam. I beilieve that like in any other major religion, there have been those who have interpreted testimonials from a "holy book" and extremized or currently extremizing their beliefs. We have witnessed this in the past with the Catholic Church inquisition, Christian atrocities and others named in history.

I thought that Mohammad was the example of what a Muslim should be and do. So I guess marrying a 12 year old girl is permissible? Do we still believe that it is ok to kill our daughters if they dishonor the family? It still happens in in the Islamic world, hell it has happened here in the states. I do not think that all Muslims are terrorist. But there is a large amount of evidence that a lot of them are. How many Baptist, Jews or Catholics have attacked mosques lately? Read about how ISIL or ISIS has been exterminating the Christians living in the areas they occupy. Yea sounds like a religion of love and peace to me! Where are the moderates Muslims speaking out against this? Where are the thousands of moderates volunteering to go fight ISIS and show the world that these guys do not represent Islam and that they have high jacked Islam? I think they are all ran off to Europe and are now bringing their religion and values to this part of the world.
The Quran is not the only book or reference to this faith. The Hadith and Sunnah will further explain the teachings and belief of this religion to those interested in learning more on this subject.

esprit de corps

First off great question. Second I believe that Islam as a faith doesn't hate, but like every religion there are people that pervert the scriptures for their own selfish cause.
