do americans hate muslims?

Of course not. We hate terrorists, but just because a person is Muslim, White, Black, Mexican, etc. does not mean they are either a terrorist or a bad person. Some people do judge people because of race, but the majority are not that shallow minded.

The USA doesnt dislike Muslims and Arabs. They dislike getting shot at and blown up. We have been giving aid to many Muslim countries such as Palestine and Pakistan. We are allies with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE.

First there are many Americans who are Muslim and of the Muslim Faith- so the hate that you refer to is more directed to us from a nation or country or extremist groups-not Muslims themselves-the Muslim Faith is a very peaceful faith.\n\nI think most reasons the Americans are hated is the lack of understanding or ability to respect other cultures.\nand \nThe desire to control and manipulate the trade market.\nThe desire of America to monopolize.\n\nIt is a shame that these attacks and acts of hatred are directed at American Citizens themselves when it is the big corporations and government that are the culprits not the people.  WE are now in a state of Corporations running the country and not people.\n\nI do feel support of Israel plays a factor too and the fact that are war prescience in Iraq is more a hindrance than a benefit.\n\nI do not feel Islam is Terrorism and that attitude creates more enemies than allies.  Terrorists are deviations from the just cause and harbor the Hate.  Not Islam not Muslims.

Nagla- \nWow- This is a powerful question, and one to be asked.  I personally had to answer this for myself, but first let me say "Salam Malakum" (sp?) \nI am devoted Christian American Military Spouse currently living in an African Muslim country, and I don't think you can't get more diverse then that.  \nI agree with you that Americans look bad, because most do not know what a true Muslim is and only know what is report on the news.  (I could have been one of these Americans a year or so ago, and two tours in Iraq could do that to a person.) \nNeedless to say, I would like to end this on a positive note.  All the Muslims I have gotten to know what to live in PEACE.  There are extremes on both ends.  Just as the majority of Americans would disassociate themselves from the ones that are protesting grave sites because the US has gays live there.  \nI would like to encourage you to show these people what your all about.  Not is a IN YOUR FACE way, but a here it is thing.  The pilars of Islam prove that Muslims want Peace for all, that they do not look down on who is that persons personal Savior.  For me that happens to be Jesus Christ.  Yet I feel we can still love one another, and see where each other is coming from with resepect, and honor, in a way that would be glory to both religions.  \nGod Bless You-

Because they are muslim groups who may be anti-American...Problem is what will they do when they realise most of the world is anti-American???

I think you may find that recent usa activity in the middle east is at least questionable in some countries.\nAnd this Iran thing now... \nYou could only hear muslims (don't get me wrong here) before, talking bad about america, now it's a global discussion...\nNo conclusion. Just thinking...\n\nI don't dislike americans. Have to go there and see what is this "new world" deal all about. lol.\nWhat's the best way to contact you? email me.

why you always misjudges our religion like that?\nwe know that the Americans are not to blame and that most of them are against violence so why we would pray for that?ISLAM is the religion of peace and love.Read your self about our religion and you will see how our prophet treated other people and how merciful he is even with his enemies.Dont listen to peolpe who hates us .Our prophet himself more than once said that he was not sent to curse other people but to be merciful to them.We only pray for the innocent people whom your president attacked without any reason .We pray for their survival because they didnt do anything.We pray also for the palastinian who are suffering from the israelian peolpe.\nAsk ur self why AMERICA is aiding Israel?

I don't think this is a strictly american syndrome, and i hold no hatred twoards foreigners. We have social programs specifically help minorities/ ie affirmative action NAACP etc. And we are teh only superpower so I think that the superiority complex is innate. As far as discrimination and predjudice, I was in france and had a discussion with some french dude about why they all hate blacks, who moved to france from french colonies in africa. Also, look at Iraq, Sudan, and who can forget slobodan milosevic, in serbia...where not only do they hate ethnic groups but they assasinate them. So I guess in conclusion it is not a American issue but a human issue and I am farily certain it occurs in all racially diverse countries. Maybe the majority/ruling party likes using minorities as scape goats. Anyways dont hate on Americans, at least we try.

Erm, maybe re-phrase this question.\n\nIf its why do Europeans & Americans Hate Islam and Muslims then you may be reading too many negative articles in newspapers.\n\nYou seriously need to re-phrase the question though!

Nobody is against muslims ... its just that the majority of terrorists are muslims ... there are some people who are against muslims just cause they think every muslim is a terrorist but i have some muslim friends n once you(people) get to know them you(people) will definitely change your opinions about muslims ... n about bush well i havnt met him and i dont know whats going on his mind but he has made some really good decisions for america ... so i'll put it this way ... SO FAR NOT TOO BAD ;)

Americans make fun of islam on south park.\n\nIs there an equivalent person mocking America in Iran saying why do the americans mock our religion on south park on their tv?\n\n\nIt is clear they are indoctrinated to believe America is the big satan.  We have two choices in my view.  One, bomb them all dead. or two, persuade the government to stop being anti american, or we will eliminate them and find a government that will be pro american.\n\nThis is essentially what we have done in afganistan and iraq.

Because Islam does not preach the killing of infidels. You can see many ancient communities still living in Muslim societies like the Jews and Zoroastrians of Iran, the Coptics of Egypt, and the aboriginals of Malaysia.\n\nThe "sudden" hate towards US is not specifically by the Muslims, in fact Americans don't know that most of the world aren't fond of America. This is because of it's forcefulness towards other nations by implimenting forced democracy and its very bad foreign policy. It's media are also to be blamed as they say that America is the best country in the world and that made Americans think that they are the only important thing in this world.\n\nAfricans are getting thinner and dying, while Americans are getting fat and partying. Distribute and share your wealth! You're like the millionaire in a very very very poor village. Do you think the village will respect you?

No I did not see Americans hate some kind of people specifically.\nsome Americans would hate blacks some would hate Arabs some would hate the Natives...etc.. so they are  just like any other normal people or nation.\n\nI am sorry for what happened to your friend, but that  dose not give us the right to generalize one case on ALL the Americans, they 350 million people...take easy man

I don't think americans hate muslims. Muslim has been anew word in this culture moreso because of 9/11. Extremist came into veiw with muslim at that time. I don't practice religion. Most people are of Christian decent in the US. Muslims are good people that practice a religion that teaches them values to live by. Just as Christians do. Maybe Christians aren't involved in a large bombing, but they have done alot of things that probably add up to as much death and destruction as any Islamic group. There are many people that claim to be modern-day-muslim Them I know are nice people. Remember these; James Jones Waco,Tx Jim Baker & Adolf Hitler

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.

For me , i do respect americans , they are very hard workers,they made a great country in nearlly no time , they are going towards the future in a really fast spead and above all you as as people like knowledge and always asking why? when ? and where ? , etc ... and this is very important. \n\nIn islam ,there's no hate towrads any body, as a mulim i like every body ,even who do bad things to me , i should forgive them. \n\nThen why USA is hated? \ni think one of the best reasons is the Support to Israel , now and ever , even there's reasons or there's not , it's always supported no matter what it does to the palastenians.\n\n2nd reason i think, is attacking Iraq, and afganistan.\n\n3rd , it's always against any country which seeks for self protection specially with nuclear weapon, i dont understand why america is against nuclear protection in the time it has the biggest nuclear amry in the world ? and it's not a member of the anti-nuclear countries ? and it's emitting 25% of the world CO2 gas ?!! why being selfish and protecting it self with all possible ways, and always saying when anther country is trying to protect it self" They are terrorists , They MUST NOT have a nuclear weapon" \nEven if those nuclear activities are Peacful , and used to generate power ,still it is not appicable ... \n\n I hope u answer my Q , Why america wanna be the only protected country in the world , and every body else is very easy for it to be attacked?! \n\n And still i do repect americans and wish to go there to their to get better education :)
