There are certainly people who hate Islam. Generally,
they are motivated by one or both of the following
things:
First, some people hate Islam for reasons of
faith. They believe that Islam is an incorrect religion. Some Christians, for example,
believe that Islam is heretical because it does not believe Jesus was actually
God.
However, just thinking a religion is wrong and hating
it are different things. I would argue that many who hate Islam do so because they
confuse the faith with the actions of some people who profess that faith. In other
words, they hate Islam because some Muslims, claiming to act in the name of God, have
done evil things. This, I would argue, is the case with most Americans who hate Islam.
They hate it because they believe that Islam as a religion leads to actions like those
of Al Qaeda.
