Why do west or Us Hate Arabs without an Obvious Reason ?

First of all, the West does not hate Arabs and the ones that do, hate because they sterotype an entire group of people based on the actions of some (kind of like you did by assuming the entire US hates Arabs)

Hating is ignorance, I don't think that anyone hates you because of your ethnicity/race or religion. America is a diverse country too. Some naive Americans may hate certain people and it is around all races hating on each other, not just everybody hating on Arabs. Just because of the acts of few of your people is all it takes for some Americans to draw a conclusion about your ENTIRE RACE and start to hate. IGNORANCE.\n\nI am sure, there is racism in your countries as well against Black Arabs, or the Filipinos or other Asians working/living there. No doubt.

HATE is a very strong word, but along such negative sentiments, perhaps it's because the U.S. has a very aggressive foreign policy that involves itself in the affairs of other nations, often times for its own interests above those of those countries. According to the President's last State of the Union address, this progressive and competitive edge is what affords Americans a certain lifestyle which, often times, is unavailable in those "hateful" countries. The U.S. comes across as "arrogance" at times and in many cases, just "ignorant' of other countries.\n\nOf course, there are religious assumptions as well. And what exactly you mean by "Americans"... in general?

Sir, some terrorists hate freedom. Some fight for it. What ever their objective is, any form of terrorism is plain bad as it means as the name implies - gianing ground through terror. Holland, Canada and Sweden do not help organisations such as terrorist groups in direct ways. But US does. When ever a country elects someone we do not like (like Chilie, like Nicaragua, like Cuba) we fund people to destroy that establishment and therefore denying their democratic right. We also bomb countries with leaderships that are not selling us oil. That is why Amenricans are hated by all smaaler countries. Israel - where I believe Jews do have a rightful claim to the land - we help them despite of atrocities and despite of the obvious fact that they STEAL LAND that belong to Arabs. Jews and Arabs are cousins, even according to the Bible. But to steal from one cousin to give the other...... mainly because we are bullied by Jewish lobby and we need a controlling factor in Middle East is something all US presidents will have to answer the God when their name is called to justify their actions. \n\nNow you know why we are so hated and bombed by peoples around the world. I have, for reasons of brevity, left off VietNam - where many died on both sides in the battle to stop communists from taking over. Just one question though. WHAT WERE THE COMMUNISTS TAKING OVER? Answer is IT WAS FROM FRENCH COLONIAL RULE - SOMETHING WE ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED bcoz we need to have other people exploited. No religious man with ANY rightousness shall condone imperialism - ALAS, WE THE WORLD POLICE OF FREEDOM.......... God bless America.

I understand your question, but, unfortunately the answer isn't an easy one.  Apparently you disagree with the type cast or stereotype.  But, look around the world.  That is the choice that their culture has made.  SInce the early seventies I have spent several months in the middle east nations for a variety of reasons.  And yes, I have met some very wonderful people.  However, throughout that part of the world there is a constant undercurrent of hatred for the west... the devil... the evil of democratic western countries and that list is topped by the U.S.  Which leaves us in a precarious position as a society.  We don't understand why they hate us, but they do.  So it is natural as culture to hate back.  So goes the viscious cycle.

The way to win against terrorist is not with bombs but with policy changes. We need to get at the root of the problem, not just attack the periphery. Why do they hate us? They hate us for our indiscriminate use of overwhelming power (Iraq), and our unconditional support of repressive regimes (Israel, Saudi Arabia, etc). Forcing Israel to abide by international treaties and laws, admitting our mistakes in Iraq, and removing support for Saudi Arabia's, Pakistan's, and Israel's oppressive and destructive governments would go a long way toward striking at the root of the problem.

Americans are dealing with the Arabs and Muslims because they want oil but cannot give compromises against Israel which is a blood relative as a country.  It is very hard since there are conflicting interests in economy and heritage.

I don't hate Jewish as Jewish, they're a religion group such as all others, but I hate controlling the western media and money world, I hate what the Zionist did in Palestine, the same I hate what the Spanish did in the new world, what America did in Vietnam and Iraq, what Bin Laden did in 9/11, it's about hating evil, not about being a bigot, which is the reason why some people hate the Jewish for..

Well, it's really not "Arabs" that are causing any "situation" now. Some people assume the terrorists who were responsible for the 9-11 attacks, etc. are Muslims, but that too is overly broad. Most Muslims are peaceful, and only a minority are “fundamentalists” who want to destroy the west. We should remember that the country with the largest Muslim population is Indonesia, and the inhabitants of that country are not “Arabs.” Another large Muslim country is Iran, where the population is Persian, not Arab, and they speak Farsi, not Arabic

Manipulating the politics of other countries is what has caused hatred for the U.S. in the Arab and Muslim countries, do you want it to spread further in the Americas now?\n\nHugo Chavez's attitudes are more in line with nearly 70% of the U.S. population now, so I think you are way off track suggesting such a thing.  \n\nRemember, "absolute power corrupts absolutely!" How about using our power for some good?"

I would suggest that average Americans don't consider the 'average' Arab as an enemy but rather that there are a proportion of Arabs that seem hell bent (no theology intended) on destroying any civil link between the societies.  I also think that there is an ignorance amongst many Americans re the difference between an Arab and a Muslim.\n\nIt is difficult to criticise this as a large amount of the Arab/Muslim media do seem to be very keen to show large and very aggressive protests against something as benal as a cartoon.  Also crowds dancing and cheering around the mulilated remains of murdered western contractors hardly gives a good impression and will have a disproportionate effect from the numbers actually involved.\n\nI really feel for the moderate Arabs/Islamists who genuinely believe that Islam/the nature of the Arab world has been corrupted; I also don't agree with many of the Western countries dealings with the Middle East at the moment.\n\nBridging the gap will be difficult as there will always be groups (probably on both 'sides') intent on fueling any resentment.  I do think that the Islamic hierarchy (as well as the Arab media) could do a lot to take a more moderate view of world events and be quicker to condem terrorism.  \n\nThe example of the reaction to the Dutch cartoons noted above shocked so many people that I know - not because of the offence but the amazing over-reaction and double standards being shown (bearing in mind the lack of sensitivity to the Jews shown in the Arab media).  Why would people kill because of this sort of trivia? - if your religion and faith is strong then accept that sometimes others will criticise or even lampoon it ... I don't see book stores on fire due to the Da Vinci Code or any newspaper staff being killed due to the regular cartoons mocking religeous personalities in the UK.\n\nThe central theme is that folks can't understand what drives the fundamentaists to the sort of extremes we see every day ... even anger doesn't seem to explain it.\n\nPeace (hopefuly) out.

No, of course they don't hate arab people. They just disagree on some issues. You see: Arabs don't like freedom and liberty America has (which gives them liberty to invade other countries for oil), and Americans think that's just wrong. \n\nWhen grown-ups disagree on issues they declare war on each other. So that's what America did. Hopefully when the war ends the Arab people will agree to what the Americans want, and they will love them once again.\n\nOh by the way, most of the Americans disagree with the war and they sure did a lot to stop it from happening. They walked on the streets once or twice.  They published some books calling people liars. That didn't solve the probem, and they did the right thing: they started nagging about it among themselves (preferably over a cup of coffee). \n\nBut since the Arab people can't hear them they assume that Americans all hate Arabs, which is, of course wrong. \n\nIf only they weren't this judgemental. America is made out of many people, races, and cultures. They don't all hate Arabs, they just let it seem that way.

Arabs are like all kinds of people, there are the good, and there are the bad. \n\nI know a few who are good, and a few who are bad.\n\nGood luck and Salam :)

because we always support the passive underdog...israel is not calling for the extermination of arabs..is it..???..if the arabs would go about their business without bothering israel or supporting terrorists that want to annihilate it, they might be able to get along better with us...why all this WE have to get along with THEM..?? getting along is a 2 way street

They hate America and the west in general for its support for Israel. They believe Israel, christians, americans, etc.. are all infidels. They are driven by a fanatical religion called islam. And the "peaceful ones" don't speak out or do anything, and they only get angry when someone insults islam.\n\nAnd yes, many "normal" citizens hate USA. They are very anti-american. Most of them are fanatics with islam. In Iran, there are days where they all parade in streets and scream "death to america!" over and over. Are you telling me thats just "some" of the people?\n\nbut Iraq hasn't been very anti-american lately, so may be in the future pro-americanism will spread across there and a more peaceful verson of islam will be created? ( I think theres already one, and it'll probably get more popular, don't forget that christianity and judasisim were pretty vicious religions when they began)\n\n"But most of these Muslim people are family-oriented, peaceful people."\nThe countries don't even have civil rights. women are treated awfully and theres blatant anti-israel and anti-american propaganda there.\n\n\n"If your family members were killed, your house was destroyed, you had no future, you could not travel, and your country was occupied by foreigners intent on taking your resources, would you be inclined to display a smile and say, "have a nice day?"\n\nFor one, if your family members were killed in Iraq (if they were citizens there) they were probably involved with al-quieda. \n\n2) Foreigners taking their resources? Ameriac hasn't stolen any oil, explain why the oil is so high. Saddam hussein took their resources and spent the money all on himself and left the people in poverty. WMDs or not, it was enough to take that phyco out. \n\n3) And, Iraq is not an official republic government. USA has made it clear that they would leave any time Iraq asks them to (Iraq has said they want them to stay until the jobs done).\n\nIMO, I would rather have my country occupied with a nation seeking to free me from an insane dictator than living under the guy for years to come.

Because the idea that they attack us from the "hatred of freedom" is silly.\n\nAt the core, the current troubles in the mid-east are an internal muslim civil war. These countries are caught between their own culture, which has a rich history, and modernizing, which comes with the risk of "westernization." (Until the seventeenth century the Islamic kingdoms were more advanced than their European counterparts.)\n\nThe attacks against the west are, in general, attacks against the source of modernization in the mid-east, and against the US in particular, the source of money for various authoritarian governments.\n\nThat does not mean we shouldn't fight terrorists and protect ourselves. Of course we should. But to understand this "war" we need to deal with the root causes - and those are all in the mid-east.\n\n("War" in quotes, because, as horrific as acts of terror have been, the current situation is nothing compared to WWI or WWII, or to the possibility of species extinction that came with the Cold War.)\n\nAdded:\nAlthough this is a minority opinion, I think the ultimate source of Arab anger against Israel is part of the internal muslim civil war. Of course the Arabs have grievances (as do the Israelis), but external Arab governments have done nothing but enflame the situation for 50 years. There are many cases of tragic explusions of peoples (Greeks from Western Turkey after WWI, the India-Pakistan split, Germans from Prussia and Poland after WWII), but in these cases other countries have attempted to settle the newcomers and establish new communities. This, tragically, has never happened for the Palestianians.\n\nIn my opinion, the Palestians have been cruely used by external Arab governments as a way to distract their own people from internal problems due to corruption and poor government.
