Islam is just the current hated religion/ group. Give it a couple years and people will hate something else.
You mean like people have since it founded or since they siezed spain? Islam has attached Christianity a lot over its history

The Western and Middle Eastern worlds have been at it since way before Christianity was even a thing. The Greeks did have to handle a lot of **** from the Muslims back in the day (The Persians Wars, the first one being as early as 492 BC 300 may be mostly fantasy, but it was based on a real war (Battle of Thermopylae) )...

The ancient Persians were NOT Muslims, they were Zoroastrians which is actually the precursor religion of the Monotheists; Christianity, Judaism and Islam. And I should mention, in that situation the metaphor for today is kinda ruined since it's Greece who are the xenophobic, sexist, racist ones and the Persians are the diverse, religiously free ones. Oh, and Zoroastrianism forbids slavery, as does Islam, something Christianity never picked up on...
1) Thanks. I didn't know that about the Persians.
2) My point was that west and east have been fighting each other since very long ago. Who was the racist asshole is irrelevant in what I wanted to say.
3) Ok. Maybe the Greeks didn't have the best standards, and maybe the Persians had better ways. I can't tell. History is not my field. But it was still them invading the Greeks, wasn't it? hence why I said "The Greeks did have to handle a lot of **** from the Muslims" Zoroastrians, again, thank you . Regardless of who had the better ways in culture, being the invading force has never been seen as the "good guys" move.
4) Islam forbids slavery....
"Muslims are encouraged to live in the way of Muhammad, who was a slave owner and trader. He captured slaves in battle; he had sex with his slaves; and he instructed his men to do the same. The Qur'an actually devotes more verses to making sure that Muslim men know they can keep women as sex slaves (4) than it does to telling them to pray five times a day (zero)."

"Only children of slaves or non-Muslim prisoners of war could become slaves, never a freeborn Muslim"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_views_on_slavery
"From the days that Muhammad drew his sword to rob and conquer non-Muslims to this very day, Muslims have been taking non-Muslims, and even other black Muslims, as slaves."

"To begin with, the Quran justifies slavery, and often mentions slaves. Here are some relevant verses:
33:50 - "Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have granted dowries and the slave girls whom God has given you as booty."
23:5 - "... except with their wives and slave girls, for these are lawful to them:...""
......yeah... sure, whatever anon...

Except if you weren't a dumbass you would realize that hating islam isn't just one of your interwebz may mays and is actually legitimate and based on good reason.
I'm glad idiots like you get to post these smart comments on the internet while good people die gunned down on the street tho. Everything will surely get back to normal aaaany minute now.

Your right, the hate is learned by the younger generation. How do you break a 1000 year old tradition of hate?
I feel like if the right people on the internet got together and brain-stormed ideas , they might come up with a viable solution. Kinda like a Internet Think Tank.
