Looks like we better hate them back lol

it doesn't make sense for different religions to hate each other..
despite all the differences they all have the same golden rule:
"treat others as you would like to be treated" (i read this somewhere )
The problem or the Muslim people is that there is a small group spoiling it for the rest (on a large scale, i might add) and making the faith look bad.
Most people who follow Islam are nice, respectable people.

Im not just talking about Al-Queda and the Taliban crew : Pan-European Arab Muslim Gang Rape Epidemic - IRIS Blog

same story with Sunny and Shiite but Christians use less violence

I would say they are all equally hated, but I only voted Jews because I wanted to even out the score.

Hating Muslims I would say is the most accepted and outspoken because of current events and the War on Terror. Everybody seems to look down on Islam these days and grasps with differentiating between the religion and terrorists. I myself grasp with the difference, as I find it hard to respect a religion that condones covering women in scarves, but I cannot judge or stereotype.

Hating Christians happens a lot in the Muslim world and the European/American world by Atheists in particular. I couldn't believe some of the things they've said, as well as much of the far left's severe vitriol against Christianity.

And finally, we get to the Jews. I think if there's one group that's been forever blamed for all the world's problems, it's been them, and that will not likely change. But to say Jews don't hate others and are completely innocent is wrong. There is racism and xenophobia among many Jews like there is among Muslims and Christians.

Everyone is equally hated and equally hates if you ask me.

Here's another question: what was the point of this thread? Was it just to get people talking about who they hate? Was it to justify the OP's own personal bias? Or was there a legitimate reason--in which case, I would like very much to know what it was.

Muslims are the most hated, because they are the ones who most live by the stuff thats written in their old book. The saving grace of Christians and Jews is they tend to not follow their own beliefs.

People believe that are the muslims, but guess what they are creatures of god and we should pray for all muslims, because there is bad people allover in all religions so the guaranty of a good manner or behavior is to accept jesus as lord and savior.

Of the options I picked Muslims, but on reflection I actually think it still might be Jews. Negative opinions of Jews are almost universal in the Arab League (this is true of both Christians and Muslims in the League nations) while they remain fairly common in Eastern Europe. Living in the US might have biased my vote as Anti-Semitism in the contemporary US is, comparatively, rare.

On a personal level, the most hated religious group on the planet changes regularly. Whichever one is trying to push its belief system in my face gets the gold that day.

I'd say Muslims today, at least in the USA. Then maybe Christians/Catholics.
