Foreigners do not hate America, I think they hate our politicians. But, I agree with you, I do think it's ignorant. But at the same time you have to consider the fact that our image is influenced by what the world sees on the news and what they see in our movies, music, etc. But, I think it's mostly influenced by the media.

I have learned that it is not the American people that the rest of the world doens't like, it's the politics and policies of the government.  Sometimes it comes across as anti-american.  I do wish that the ones who are saying these things would get to know some Americans as you have.  There are good and bad from everywhere.

You shouldn't be nice to Americans, they're mostly stupid rude and lazy. Clever insults are more fun to read anyway. PS I'm American.

I don't think Americans hate Muslims in general, but I do think that a lot of it have to do with Americans being ignorant and not understanding that Islamic fundamentalists do not represent the views of most of the world's Muslims.  It's just easier to group things rather than understanding the various intricacies of the religion.

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?

Well, I have to say, you're being very stereotypical. It's obvious that you don't like Americans, but don't you think that you're generalizing, just a bit? Most Americans have moved on from being prejudiced. Now, I'm not saying that the whole of America isn't prejudiced, because there are a large number of prejudiced people. But isn't it the same in other countries as well? And how exactly do Americans show off? I don't understand. And perhaps we do sometimes get in business that maybe we shouldn't, such as Iraq, but that shouldn't be a reflection on our country, it's a reflection on the choices of the president. And like the person above me said, there are some tourists who think they're God's gift to mankind, but not everyone is like that. A few people shouldn't be cause to hate a whole country. No person, no country, is perfect.

No, I don't think Americans have any dislike for the British. Also, I think it's hard to generalize the characteristics and opinions of a whole entire nation ..especially one as diverse as the United States.

The brits hate americans because in britain they have a "class system" which in america there is also a class system but its alot more prevalent in the UK. The brits instictively want to find out what a persons class system is when they start a conversation and this same need follows them everywhere. A brit wants to feel superior to an American but the problem with the UK is that it has alot of very poor brits. The US has alot of money so brits will throw their "culture" at americans as fast as they can so the can feel they're a higher "class" even if they're a lower class brit.

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.

No, regardless of the monumental efforts some Americans apply to that goal, and some policies and laws that by themselves could make the world hate Americans, despite all that, people love peace, although peace will not endure, therefore, people do not hate Americans ( one has to realize that the term American also applies to inhabitants of the rest of the Continent which is called American continent)hence, not all people hate Americans only some. (ha)

We don't hate the American people, they're victims of their own media and education systems. What we are strongly against is the current American governament which is a worse lier than gobelz .

I don't think all Middle Easterners hate Americans, but I think there are some who abhor Western influence in that region of the world.  There are others who hate us due to intolerant religious dogma and there are others still who hate us for our unwavering support of Israel.  Keep in mind that some of the Islamofascists also seek a global caliphate, where Islamic law is the guiding principle for each nation...no exemption.  Add all of that together and you have a sizeable chunk of the Middle East that hates us, but I hope it isn't all Middle Easterners.
