The hatred should be towards the extremists though, not the entire community. I don't want to be held liable for what other Christians do, nor do I think all Muslims should be held accountable for the wrongdoings of others.
Nor do I, nor do the other true peace loving muslims but two things should have happened before we launched the war on terror.
There should have been a propaganda campaign about how the muslim extremists have strayed from the quran and the teachings of mohammed. We've got plenty of muslim scholars in the US that would have gladly helped with that.
the world should also have remembered that the middle east has always been primarily a religious culture that or millenium has been able to put aside their national issues and come together on a religious base. we didn't do that til AFTER we launched the GWOT and that was the second mistake.
Had we taken those steps carefully and let the arab world know beforehand that the extremists were wrong and those were the ones we were after, i say again beforehand, we'd have more support from the arab world.
