I would like the help of my fellow ATS members with this question.
Why do so many people and western countries around the world hate the Muslim religion and the Muslim countries?

When I look at the war on terror that aims only at Muslim terror groups, and I look at the big wars in the past 10 years that were mostly directed against Muslim countries and people.

And when I see the people of European countries (France, England etc) who hate the fact they have so many foreign Muslim residents coming into their countries. And I see that the Muslim terror groups attack many countries that have a lot of tolerance towards them, like Spain, India, England etc.

I wonder if it’s because of the western countries or the Muslim religion and their leaders?

Also please answer why do you think most Muslim countries in the Middle East have the lowest freedom of speech and civil rights laws in the entire world. And why they are all considered third world countries controlled by extreme religious governments?

They're hated mostly because they understand that our way of life is stupid and redundant. That our so called "democracy" doesn't work. They're a thorn in the eyes of first world countries because they don't have the same skin color, and they don't pray to the same god. (although that's debatable) Furthermore, you heard George "if your not with us, your against us" and they're not in agreement with Western Idiology. That's why the media and our leaders single them out for discrimination and wars.

Same reasons people hate Jews, Black, Hispanics, Conservatives, Liberals, etc etc etc.

Fear, ignorance et al. take your pick

You answered your own question. The parts I have bolded are what a lot of people hate. It's not Muslims in general, it's not Muslim countries in general, it's not the Muslim religion in general. It's the extremists that think blowing up non-Muslims is a good idea that will get them into their version of heaven. It's the extremists that think being a suicide bomber is the greatest thing ever. That is what so many people hate.

Not too sure actually. I think it's because of their religious beliefs that they have less freedom of speech and civil rights. They are considered third world countries, generally speaking it's because they are under-developed and are politically unstable.

in just one word.....

hummus?

I think OP might be right. If America hates them, which they seem to... for whatever reason, be it 9/11 or the previous wars in the region, then it is possible that the other countries follow in America's footsteps. Could hating Muslims be "in style?" Does it travel around the world like fashions do?
It may be a case of monkey see, monkey do with the other countries.

That may be the smartest assertion i've seen this year. Your idea makes alot of sense, the US is suppose to be the world's watchdog,and they have the most political and military influence of all countries. Remember what George said, " if your not with us, your against us."

That's a good idea, too. I wasn't sure what you meant by it being "because of the Western countries and their leaders" so that's how I interpreted it. Thanks for specifying, though.
