Hate is reserved for those who bring harm, causing an ongoing distress and loss of quality of life. Nobody here hates you, or Islam, or Jews. That's because we are all sitting in the comfort of our own homes, listening to our favorite music, sipping a nice cup of tea, and generally enjoying life.
To hate you, I'd need to be threatened by you or by your ideas, and in a very direct way. I don't really hate the 9/11 bombers, or rapists or murderers. I have more a feeling of revulsion, and a general sense that actions must be taken to minimize these problems as much as we can. I can sympathise with crying people on the news, or imagine how I'd feel if I were in the same situation as those bombed in weddings by drones etc.
But I have to say-- it seems to be the goal of the more militant muslims to bring the world TO a point of actual hatred. That seems like a counter-productive goal.
