    The existence of Israel is part of what causes that intolerance within majority Muslim countries. Israel, through its own racist apartheid and colonialism, has inflamed resentments in the region against non-Muslim peoples.

    But Israel doesn’t deserve all the blame! The other cause is the US actively propping up other repressive regimes in the region, as well as murdering so many people’s families that they see no choice but to take up arms against the Great Satan.

    The only way to believe that Islam is some kind of uniquely backwards and primitive religion is through racism. This situation is a product of recent history.

      Uh huh. All evils in the middle east are Israel’s fault. And if not them, than the Americans. Sunni vs Shiite violence has killed more people in the area than the Americans and Israelis combined, and started over a 1000 years ago, but somehow that’s the Americans and Israelis fault too.

      But hey, don’t let reality’s shades of grey ruin your pretty black and white imaginary picture.

      “Muslim” isn’t a race. Frankly all abrahamic religions are backwards, the difference is you can change your beliefs, unlike ethnicity/race.

      The word you’re looking for is islamophobia btw. It seems english doesn’t have a blanket term for religion-based hate/bigotry.

        True, I’m pretty sure they hate them for being Arabs. They love killing Palestinian Christians too. It’s racial.
