Although unjustified threat to your life and possession can be the cause of your hatred and your hatred in this case would be justified however, my article is not about the hatred that usually triggered against oppression and unjust acts.

Contrary to your statement, almost all members of this forum have used self-indulging rhetoric in place of academic discussions throughout our discussions since I joined Atheist Forum (Jewish Forum)

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.
What are Taliban and ISIS? Who created them? Who have provided them the weapons? Who is funding them?
Who are the people who attacked Afghanistan in search of Bin Laden and still fighting in Afghanistan after the death of Bin Laden? Who are the people who attacked Iraq in search of weapons of mass destruction and the world has not yet seen those weapons? Who attacked Libya merely because Quaddaffi wanted to create his own currency backed by the oil against the corrupt Dollar backed by nothing? Who attacked Syria with the help of a well-funded and well-equipped proxy army?
Since the Jews have robbed Palestinian lands, how many Muslims were killed by the allied forces in their home countries and how many Jews were killed by the hands of Muslims?
How many Jews were killed by Russians in the Bolshevik Revolution and during communist regime of Jewish led Soviet Union?
Apart from HoloHoax of 6 million Jews, how many Jews were killed by German Cannibals during the first and second world wars?
Who is financing all the wars around the world?
I am very keen to discuss all these questions with you.
