Actually, it's not about MY position. I'm asking what others think about it, provided the views are informed. I'd love to hear comments from people on the subject. Is it possible to justify hate? In order to answer, you'd have to look at the reasoning, and think about your level of respect for other's religion.
So why are you still trying to reject our arguments based on irrelevant things? Regardless of whether the issue is terrorism, holy books, or ancestry, dom180's point and my point still stand intact. None of those things have anything to do with an individual's character, so to "hate Muslims" or to harbor any other generalized hatred is absolutely not "correct".
But these things are NOT irrelevant to the person of faith. So, if you can respect someone's faith, how can you not also respect the factual issues that cause friction? I'm not asking what you personally feel, I'm asking how you can respect a faith yet see a person as being 'wrong' for harboring hatred.
Don't be mad just because you don't have the 'smart' answer...think on it.
1. I'm not mad.
2. "Smart answer"?
3. I've thought on it quite a bit, so please don't patronize.
4. I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. Again, if someone were to take issue with a particular conflict between two groups, that's fine. But you stated that this person "hates Muslims" based on some ancestral/textual dispute, which is by definition a discriminatory stereotype.
I never said I respect all beliefs. I tolerate all beliefs, and respect the right for people to have them. But I don't respect all beliefs.
Is one of these people more 'right' in their hate?

Well, you seem to have decided on your answer already, so I guess there's not really any point in responding further.
