So now we know that Muslims hate amreeka because they are jealous of its freedom etc. Now it’s incumbent upon Muslims to tell amreeka why amreeka/West hates them.
What are some of the main (among few dozens let’s only talk about big major top three ones) that America and/or West hates Muslims?
I wouldn't be surprised if there is racism at play, and most Muslims are colored. Now with 9-11, they can get away with that racism. And plus, we are "different", lesser, backward.
With all the stereotypes flying around they percieve our lifestyle as directly clashing with theirs. I mean for example, just look at after work when colleagues go off for a drink its usually the muslim co-workers who don't go and integrate with them. Some take this as 'offensive' or that we're not of their 'kind'. This may not always be the case but generally its the feeling most muslims get.
Romeo, seriously, when you go to someone’s house, you break his Hukka, and Yeh his Malangni, they will hate you for that. No one hates anyone without a valid reason. I am not saying that hatred of US in the Muslim world is due to a valid reason, but what I am suggesting is that one type of hate is purely out of ignorance (e.g., American’s hatred of Muslims) and the other type of hate is out of a sense of superiority solidified and enforced by one’s scripture and religious beliefs. When Quran says that Jews and Christians cannot be your friends, it has to leave some mark on some un-refined people.
A nice thought provoking question. I dont think that they hate us at all. I think they love us. It's muslim perception/paranoia that makes us think that way.
If people in the west think that "God created us in his image" and they see God blowing himself up and taking innocents with him, they get confused, and rightfully so. How can a compassionate conservitive God do such a horrible thing. So in the end the question is not about hate but more about being "perplexed". Please change the name of the thread to
"Why is the west so perplexed at us"?
Its not hate its just that we are different....and the standards are different when dealing with Muslims.

Now look around you, Change Britania with any other western domocracy and the images can be easily labled April 2003 or 2005, nothing has changed its just the facade.
How about---- Everywhere you look in the world Muslims are in conflict. Conflict in China, Russia, Kashmir, Middle East. Conflict with Hindus, Christians and Jews. The common factor in the conflict is Muslims. That is the simple premise of the Clash of the Civilizations, and to most observers of current affairs, it appears to be a pretty simple self evident truth.
