What percentage of Muslims hate Christians and Americans and how many don't?

I am confused. I was absolutely convinced that the majority of Muslims hate and would like to kill Americans and especially American Christians. I was basing this on what we hear in the news media, and also on a number of interviews with various Arab Muslims on TBN who said that Muslims are being taught to hate and want to kill American Christians. But now I am reading Arthur Blessitt's book "The Cross" and he says that Muslims like Christians and Americans. Then I recently saw someone say on Yahoo Answers that Muslims are Christians and that most people don't know this. Also, I have seen Rev. Farakan in an interview with a Christian minister and he complimented and liked Christians very much. Also, in Arthur Blessitt's experiences in talking with Arab Muslims in his world travels, he says that they admire and like talking about Jesus, but yet some won't go so far as to become Christians, and I wonder then why, if they like Jesus, do they want to remain as Muslims? Also, it seems that most if not all Muslims intensely dislike Jews....is this because of the land issues, or is it also about religious differences, and if so, why would some Muslims like Christians but dislike Jews? Any comments or input would be appreciated.

    I'd say about 90% of muslims at the very least do not HATE americans. In fact, it says in the Koran that they should lover their "Brothers of the Book" (Christians and Jews). It's just that the small minority get all the attention, and therefor all muslims are stereotyped like that, kind of like how christians are stereotyped as fundamentalists. Also, many muslims do like Jesus, but they believe that he was not the son of God and only delivered part of his word. Mohammed delivered the last part in the Koran, which is why they remain Muslims.

    what a great question, and the answers thus far are very

    charitable and kind toward christians and americans. I hope that more

    dialogs are opened with such probing questions.

    A big problem for americans is that the news media focuses

    almost entirely on American interests and we learn very little

    about how others live and worship.

    When my wife and I went to Turkey a few years ago we were

    treated very kindly and were invited into the Blue Mosque. I was

    impressed with the people being called to prayer 5 times a day.

    Media maligns Islam

    1.Islam is without doubt the best religion but the media is in the hands of the westerners who are afraid of Islam. The media is continuously broadcasting and printing information against Islam. They either provide misinformation about Islam, misquote Islam or project a point out of proportion, if any.

    2. When any bomb blasts take place anywhere, the first people to be accused without proof are invariably the Muslims. This appears as headlines in the news. Later, when they find that non-Muslims were responsible, it appears as an insignificant news’ item.

    Inspite of all the black sheep in the Muslim community as any black sheep in every community, Muslims taken on the whole, yet form the best community in the world. We are the biggest community of tee-totallers as a whole, i.e. those who don’t imbibe alcohol. Collectively, we are a community which gives the maximum charity in the world. There is not a single person in the world who can even show a candle to the Muslims where modesty is concerned; where sobriety is concerned; where human values and ethics are concerned.

    i don't know if it makes sense to ask what percentage of muslims hate christians and americans. how does one keep track of such nonsense. anyway, as a muslim i know that i nor do any of my friends or muslim family hate christians. we have so much in common with christians to hate them. but one thing that puzzles me is why christians continue to live by the bible when it has been altered so much. the quran is so pure its never been altered. there are translations for people of different languages but the arabic form is the same in every quran you read. personally, i feel that christians do not like the muslims....but all the ridicule and mistreatment of muslims makes me know even more that it is the religion everyone should be practicing. did God ever send a prophet with a religion or message and everyone was willing to embrace it...NO? there was always some ridicule and persecution behind it. look how that ridiculed jesus..the same they did to muhammad when he brought the message of this new religion called Islam. if you have never please pick up a quran and read it. if you truly are searching or do want guidance open your heart and pray to God (not Jesus) for guidance and (God willing) you will be guided to what is true. As far as muslim hating Americans..i have been to a predominantly muslim country and they love americans they love to hear the english language. i was told that it is like music to their ears. but of course there are some who do not care for americans for whatever reason. but i dont think that is a muslim thing. people all over the world could care less for an american. By the way, my son is named Isa(meaning Jesus)

    Well I thought Muslims were commanded to kill the infidels according to their book.
