You are contradicting yourself. In one place, you say that you hate Jews. In another place, you seem to be saying that you hate the actions of Jews, but not the Jews themselves. So, which is it? Do you hate Jews, or their actions?
During the time I have spent on Islamic websites, I have often been astonished by the great pride many Muslims take in their hatred of Jews, Christians, homosexuals, etc.
Does the Koran teach that Muslims must hate those people who don't follow Islamic law? I find the message of love, taught by Jesus, to be much more comforting:
Quote:"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Matthew 5:43-48
In other words, "hate the sin, love the sinner". The world would be a much better place if all people followed this teaching of Jesus.
