do yo hate or dislike muslims?

As an ex-evangelical Christian, now secular humanist (atheist +) , I have never spent time around any Muslim and disliked them.

Well except the ONE security guy at the Dubai airport that decided he didn't like me and was going to make my life miserable by strip searching me TWICE and dumping everything out of my bags.

Still, I didn't dislike this one guy because of his religion, but because he was an azzhole.

I have affection for Islamic culture. I am also a Zionist which puts me at odds with some political factions in the Mid-East. I have no truck whatsoever for the Palestinian cause except that the continued Israeli expansion into Palestinian territory hurts Israel.

I also think the Islamophobia and mistreatment of middle easterners and south Asians who "look" Islamic is terrible. I think people want to create a new "out group" or racial underclass, to replace racism against African-Americans (which is alive and well, mind you) and what kills me most is that many African-Americans are the first to jump on that bandwagon.

So no, I do not hate or dislike "Muslims".

You can't dislike people because they follow a particular religion - especially if you reckon that ALL those who believe in that particular middle-eastern primitive pastoral culture invented supernatural entity are delusional - that includes Christians, Muslims and Jews, who all worship the same god. Even if people are deluded, that is no reason to dislike them. It's only when they use their religion, whichever it is, as an excuse to kill other people that they become deserving of contempt and hatred.

Although it is unfair to blame the entire community for the Devilry of some terrorists amongst them, it is really becoming difficult these days to follow this norm of equanimity with instances of terrorist strikes increasing by the day all over the world and almost all of them being committed by some extremist Muslim groups/organizations. What would really help is if the religious heads/authorities of Islam take courage and denounce the extremist groups and organizations openly and consistently.

You can't paint a whole group like that with one brush. There are good and bad among them and any group. But I'm not sure religion has done much for us over time - and still.

Nope, only the ones who are responsible for terrorism.. But they can't really be following the religion, can they? Not that I know much about it, but I know a bit more about Christianity, which wouldn't condone any of that violence.

No.

I worked at a major airline for many years, and worked with many muslim men and women, all of whom were very nice, and they just wanted to raise their families in peace like anybody else.

When I was growing up, my three best friends were Jewish, Muslim, and Catholic.

(If you must hate somebody, make it the Catholics, just kidding.)

No - but I dislike their religion, what it stands for, how it oppresses women and girls, how it encourages violence, is prejudiced against other religions and atheism, teaches against being gay and refuses to accept that this is the 21st Century.

I hate the criminals who use their religion as an excuse to do dastardly things.

yes,if islam is exterminated the whole world will be at peace
