Why are Christians, Jews and Muslims so hateful?

I don't think they are hatful. I think many of the leaders are frustrated or perhaps selfish or otherwise suffering from the trials that life brings with it, but I don’t think the majority of the people are hatful.  \n\nI do believe however that many of the followers of these faiths are misguided...just as you are. Not in their choice of religion or faith, (or lack there of) but in the way they practice. Certainly there is no reason for Christians to treat practitioners of other religions with hostility. Nowhere in the bible does it say that Jesus teased, belittled and harassed those that would not follow him. Yet many Christians feel obligated to do so today? \n\nStill, I think you are looking at the minority of the practitioners and allowing their actions to be interpreted as the actions of the majority of people. Regardless of your faith or beliefs, try to be companionate and understanding and look at the situation with some perspective.  \n\nI hope this helps.

We Christians are not taught to "hate" anyone! However, we are taught the truth, which is, that Jesus is the Son of God. This guy they call mohammed never died on the cross for anyones sins! He is not of importance, but just another man who thinks he knows it all. If you are a real Chrisitan you will realize that when someone does not have Christ in their religion, they are called, you guessed it, an anti-Christ. We do not hate muslims, but we really don't like them trying to push this Islam off on us. I have seen on TBN where there are many muslims converting to Christianity. When you tell muslims this, they report you!

Jews are hated by some not for their religion but mainly becasue of the politics going around in middle east and occupation, violance, bulldozing of houses, terrorism etc. etc. Actually prophet of Islam, had a very good relationship with jews who were not fighting with him to get rid of him. He used to visit Jews when invited or when they are sick etc.

I think you are wrong. True there are some Christians who try every chance they get to cram down your throat their version of their religion. And is it also true that in other religions that same type of narrow middle zealots exist. So the problem really is one of the zealots not getting along and not the billions of us left in the world who do get along.

Hatred motivates them both, ignorance and arrogance causes their motivation, and narrow-minded bigotry underlies their ignorance and arrogance.\n\nBoth are brutal and cruel.  Physical violence is more obviously harmful and dangerous.  The "Christian" who does this, by the way, is not really true to his or her faith - and may be considered a cultist depending on which denomination is involved.

Because they reject God, not necessarily us. But Jesus did say that "those who hate me will hate you also". I think it's sinful nature to hate the idea of an almighty God that is gonna judge those who don't repent.

Jews will always be the enemies of Muslims no matter what because it is written in Al-Qur'an... Read the following verse....\n\n\nStrongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "we are christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. \n(Al-Qur'an 5:82)\n\nIf Jews really want to prove Qur'an wrong they need to love Muslims, isn't it easy to prove Qur'an wrong. If any Jew is reading this, he knows it is impossible for a Jew to love a Muslim, that is why they can't prove Qur'an wrong...

I think you mean "hated"... This is my opinion.  It comes down to who's God is the real God.  God is Jehovah-Yeshua.  Allah is not God and all the world will soon have no doubt of this.\nMaybe I should explain further.  Israel is the focus of the Arab world's hate and America is the only supporter left of Israel so they hate us too. Why do they hate Israel?  Look how tiny it is compared to the Arab world.  Why so much hate?  It goes back thousands of years to Abraham and his two sons, Isaac and Ishmael.  According to the Torah and the Old Testament, Isaac is the rightful son and Ishmael was the older and illegitimate son.  The Muslims believe otherwise.  They even claim is was Ishmael Abraham was asked by God to sacrifice and not Isaac as Jews and Christians believe.  At this point in history the two nations began to separate: the descendants of Isaac: the Jews and the grafted in Gentiles (Christians), and the descendants of Ishmael: the Arab nations.  There has been a hatred between the two ever since.  It is a supernatural hatred and was prophesied by the Bible and Torah.  The descendants of Ishmael changed the God of Abraham, Jehovah, into what they call Allah, something very different.  The "politically correct" have of late tried to claim that Jehovah and Allah are the same God, by going back to Abraham, but while it was true up until Abraham, today nothing could be further from the Truth. <><

No, what we hate is fanatics who cause countless deaths like Sept 11th and the London underground and bus bombing.\n\nMy Muslim neighbour was crying his eyes out a few weeks ago asking me 'what's going to happen to my children, we don't want to hurt anyone.' I love my neighbour and other Muslim friends to bits and don't care if they're Muslim, Jewish or a green man from outer space.

It's a sad thing that people call themselves Christians but do things that shame the name of Christ and His followers. Then because that one man did that horrible thing that makes all Christians go through the same trial and condemnation even the ones that honestly live their lives according to what Jesus commanded. Why are we being hated the most than the other religions in this world? All people are hypocrite in their own way because no one is perfect, only God is perfect. All humans fail not only Christians but you expect the most of us, to be holy and just shrug our shoulders, and get over even when we are being pushed on and rediculed at. A true Christian would do everything to be a good witness for others but even though we live a quiet life people still has so many things to say about us especially the ones that doesn't even know us. I don't think the man in that story is a Christian at all, just the label but not in the heart.\nGeneralization is mean and a crime towards conduct.

Most religious books are full of some hatred. Even the Bible is full of such hatred. It's not fair to single out one text.

What people don't know is that the Jews were the first around in the world. People are jerks that don't like other people because of the religion.

It is hate that you must understand if you are to understand the why of your query,as well as so many other questions.\nPeople hate some have reasons,some remarkably hate because they are good Christians,others hate because they don't understand,still others are pure evil and hate just to hate.

I think this is an overgeneralization, but I see where you're coming from.  And the people who respond that bashing doesn't exist and that Christians are just "spreading the gospel" are dead wrong.  Although Christians may not be declaring a "holy war" there are other more subtle ways of bashing- such as racial profiling, racism (towards arab/middle eastern/ muslims).\n\nJews have been persecuted and victimised for centuries.  I think they probably can fully understand the ramifications of doing so, therefore they refrain?  Jews have suffered so muc, perhaps they don't want to cause suffering to other groups like they have put up with in the past, or perhaps they know it solves nothing, or perhaps they want to remain neutral to avoid making themselves targets.
