Why do so many people hate buddhist?

I don't get it, Buddhist are proble the most kindest people on Earth. Yet all I ever see is people ranting about how precious all life is to the buddhist, from a gnat to a human, along with other thing.
Also no ingorant answers.

Yes well joking apart all life is precious Buddhism teaches We have been taking rebirth since beginningless time In all the six realms of which this Saha World is but a small part This being true We have all been each others Mother at some time or another
We are also encouraged to have a Bodhichitta attitude towards all sentient beings A sentient being is any being who can perceive
It doesn't matter whether you are Reptilian and I am Human we can both experience suffering When push comes to shove I want your suffering to cease just as much as my own
Take care Okay

Buddhists didn't go around shoving bibles or qu'rans in people's hands with guns\swords at their heads. Buddhists did not forcably convert ANYONE. Buddhism is a truly peaceful, tolerant religion, which some consider to be more like a philosophy\teaching, then a doctrine that one HAS to abide by. Out of all the religions, Buddhism is definitely the one to go, if one feels that you must adhere to some sort of organized faith-group. Personally, I think that you should take some University philosophy classes, do alot of thinking, keep an open mind, do alot of reading on different beliefs, and form your own beliefs instead follow anothers'.

This is a bizarre question. I really haven't seen any hatred directed toward Buddhists. If anything, I think that Buddhists concepts are too easily accepted and should be more sharply critiqued.

More than other religious group, I think Buddhists get an easy pass.

What has lead you to this question?

I haven't seem much hate directed at Buddhists here, and the atheists here seem to have a great deal of respect for them. This may happen where you live, but not here in R&S. At worst, some Americans dismiss Buddhism as a 'fashion statement', but then again, some Americans are amazingly ignorant.

No one hates buddhists. Christians and muslims are destroying the world, but buddhists are not even on most people's radar.
