Do you think Islam really hates us like everyone says?

All I hear about Islam is they all hate Americans. I hear people spreading hate on Islam like its Ibuprofen. I just want everyone to think for 1 minute before responding. I am appalled after this paradigm shift. If the hate existed like everyone I hear say, we would have ZERO returning servicemembers from Iraq and Afghanistan. If we succumb to the hate we fuel the radicals. We must see things as they are. Not every one person from one particular religion is what the majority of the masses believe. Extremists exist is every religion and every culture.

I respect everyone for their beliefs, as I have the right to mine. Thanks for sharing

It is a bold topic at best to mention. I wanted to bring this topic here to RP. Civillians make my left eye stare at my right eye, it gets painful listening to them.

SSgt Obom Bowen Respect is the biggest problem in the world. If everyone would respect the way others want to live, worship, conduct life then we'd get along just fine. It's when people want to superimpose their beliefs, standards, way of life on others then we have the problem.
I never really understood this simple word until I was deployed for OJE in 95-96. This Idaho cowboy had never been in the "real open world" before and boy, did I get an eye opener.
Too many people put too much time on themselves and trying to get their way instead of looking outward and being respectable - but then again it comes back to KNOWLEDGE!

The media frames it that way because it builds fear and insecurity. Fear and Insecurity leads more people to watch the news and read from their websites. In Communications Theory it is known as Agenda Setting. By setting the agenda, the media spins what is a highly exaggerated narrative that suits their financial goals. At the same time, we, as viewers, selectively perceive and retain what best aligns with our internal world view. We pay more attention to the negative stories because they fit into our mental images better. This is how things get so warped that people now believe and preach ideologies that 5 years ago would be unheard of. Absorbing only what fits into your world view severally skews your sense of reality.

While I applaud anyone who refrains from generalizations about particular groups of people, I disagree. Is everyone a terrorist? No. But you have to understand that Islam exists to spread Islam. This is the only religion in the world that allows its subjects to lie and be deceitful, and otherwise disregard morality as long as it is for the good of Islam. Ultimately the goal of the religion is world domination and Sharia law, which would literally be taking our civilization back 4000 years.
I believe Muslims deserve the same rights as everyone else, and I wouldn't treat one any differently on the street than I do to any other people. I've even had Muslim friends in the past, although I fundamentally disagree with the concept of Islam. The short version here is that I don't think all Muslims are terrorists, but tolerating radical Islam is just as bad in my book.

Islam is a religion. Religions don't hate, humans hate.
Do certain verses in the Koran and the oral transitions marginalize the lives of women and non Muslims. Absolutely.
Does that mean all Muslims are bad; of course not.
What can clearly be said though is that not enough moderate Muslims who are being courageous and speaking up and demanding tolerance. Not enough petition for other religions to be tolerated, never mind respected. It is illegal to build a church or synagogue or even practice another religion in most Muslim countries. No one calls them on this hypocrisy and too many in the muslin world are comfortable denying others the same tolerance for their beliefs, personal and religious rights and freedoms that they expect to enjoy in the United States and Europe. In addition the world is tolerating a Muslim genocide of middle eastern Christians. Meanwhile the UN, US and Europe are cowardly and quietly ignoring the loss of these people because they are either unimportant, not preferred or it simply not politically correct to protect Christian lives when it conflicts with Islamic extremist agendas.
The problem is allowing people to spread hatred intolerance and bigotry. It doesn't matter if it is the majority or minority spreading it. Everyone should enjoy the same human rights

The biggest problem with people is tgey will generalize but hate to be generalized. We all know not everyone that belongs to a certain race, religion, ideology, etc. are like the extremist faction but get lumped in anyway. I guess its a defense mechanism used to get caught of guard. The answer is no cause like you said if that was true would be no soldiers left

Remember- The Koran was written after the death of Christ, with Christ we moved form the Eye for an Eye of the Old Testament to turn the other cheek with the New testament. Islam has no New Testament period- The Koran does spell out charity, good doing, etc. But it also still has the parts about killing Infidels and non-believers, and it's punishments are strictly Old Testament- stoning, cutting of limbs, blinding, etc. The problem is every religion has things that can be used against non-believers, but Islam radicals have a lot to choose from. Suggest you read the history of the Spread of Islam- only the Mongols out did them in cruelty.

No. But all it takes is a radical imam to turn an entire mosque into an army.
