Why is there so much hate here?
It seems like no matter how long you are away from QL, when you return its the same old with the muslim and west bashing. Some Muslims highlight whats bad about the west and other religions and some non muslims jump at any given chance to criticise muslims or Islam.
Now healthy debate is fine but here its mostly blind judgemental users who have so much anger towards each other.
Why is there so much hate. Why do we care so much about what other people believe in. We all have our faiths and religion, is it really hard to respect and tolerate or even try understand each other. Are we not all human beings striving for the same things in life. It seems like theres so much anger towards each other that its eating people up. Life is too short for all this anger. Grow up people and learn to live alongside each other, who knows you may grow to like each other(when you place aside all the hate and predjudice)and realise that we are not really that different.

leave this boring topic let us talk about chinx tatoo
goch munhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
lovely na
Brit I am sure you know by now that I respect you a hell of a lot.
I see an Anti-Indian Bias on QL, maybe because I am Indian..
My friend sees an Anti- Filipina Bias on Ql, maybe because she is a Filipina.
My friend sees an Anti-Christian Bias on QL, maybe because he is christian.
Same for you sir..
But if you really trust your belief, nothing can offend you, I have never seen the user "Bleu" offended by anything though I am sure he is local...
You can only be offended if you want to...
for those really wondering why there is so much hate they need only to read through this forum and recognise everone's opinions which ALL seem to be right in some way. If we are all right then who is most right? even this topic has brought out the haters!
ah there is so much to learn from others, expecially those we disagree with..
Sorry to disagree with you folks, but in my opinion there definitely is an anti Islam bias on QL. I agree that some of the posters "try and push Islam" down the throat, but all you have to do is ignore them. I have seen people regularly publish excepts from the Bible, yet no one takes offence. As soon as one posts something from the Quran, people become offended.
Sometimes I am really stunned when they recite the exact phrase from their holy book(which shows they have read it) and yet they hate someone from other belief ( which shows they haven't understood it)
During my time here, I have seen some thread made featured threads and displayed on main page, this is my plea to the owners to make it a featured thread..
I just hope that all the users read this thread...
too right navdac,we are all just human beings! Heres hoping to some positive change:0
I hope your words come true nadt... We are all humans at the end of the day...
Of course it can navdac, we dont have to be the same to see eye to eye, just respect each other and our differences. Anyway thats what the whole point to this thread was, lets celebrate our differences and stop hating each other just because we view the world differently.
Yes it can be nadt.. As long as we behave in a civilized manner.. By the way I read your comment on one of the Minarets banning thread and you are very wise too..
"Oh i can feel the love" tonight between the beleivers and the non belevers, you see it can be pleasant and possible ;-)
Thanks NAdt for this thread,You speak out on my behalf for what you are telling are true,but i never put hatred in my heart..inshallah GOD forgives THEm...
Thanks also Alexa for enlightening more my heart and mind...
NAvdak,i still remember your words on that thread and applied it,,,Thanks to you too...
"never ever give up"
Thanks Ma'm from whatever I have seen here, most religious people don't talk to Non-believers in a polite way rather they are abusive on most occassions. You have a great heart and maybe just maybe one day I will return to the religious fold.. Thanks..
I wish there were more sensible people like you Ma'm..
jervis Amen...
jervis I aint a philosopher for nothing ;)
Alexa Ma'm somethings make real deep impact and I can't get over them. I blamed religion only for the violence I saw and still do. Still if someone practices it peacefully then I don't mind at all. Just don't hate anyone for having different sets of beliefs..
Hate is a fear of loosing, and the product is uncontrolled anger. When one cannot control the anger one should walk away. Then walking away is not easy, and also takes a lot of courage too..

Too hard Ma'm. I just don't have any faith left for anyone anymore. I have seen all kinds of crap due to religion, people from every religion killing or beating people from other religions infront of my eyes only due to different religiious faith. I have decided not to be religious and surprisingly I am more at peace with myself since then.
I don't think any religion in itself is really the issue here... It really all comes down to greed, people are either greedy cos they want more or agressive cos they feel threatened. Either way they aren't acting the way that their religion says they should.
Interpretation is the key word Ma'm.. I used to be reasonably religious before I started listening to the so called religious people, turned me off religion completely. Everyone was using it to his/her own advantage.
yes you're absolutely right!
scapegoat alert!! they use it as an excuse..
Kiwi do they even remember what the author was talking about, everyone remembers the written word.
I am sure none of the authors told them to kill in his name, to hate in his name.
it's not the book people are arguing about.. I believe it's the author
If only we can stop living our lives as per books written in another era.
I was reading a book the other day and found the following saying pretty interesting..
There is one thing in Islam which is Haram, however consuming that haram thing and keeping it down, actually gives you more rewards than any other deed? The Haram thing was anger/hate.. Biting it and keeping it down.
If only we could all keep the lid on our anger and never let hate take over us..

really, if you think of the last time you were angry about something you might find that underlying fear lingering in there.
It is abundent in the animal kingdom as well.. agression is the number one defence mechanism.
If one is defending something or someone then surely therin lies the fear..
Get rid of religion from this world and you will get rid of hate.
Till then keep trying.
Alexa, i dont see being sensitive to other people religion is pussy footing around, we can say what we want just without the insults. Who knows it migt work, but very unlikely to happen.
then lets start spreading love....
advance merry christmass to all
...listen to the sound of silence....
Anger is fear disguised
Same here Alexa, I dont mind discussing and getting to about other religions, as long as like you said its discussed in a sensible and sensitive way.
Kiwi chick, im rally not wallowing in the negative aspect, im just curious to know why people are so angry and have so much hate towards each other and especially other peoples religion. I do agree with you though, i think it makes people feel good about themselves by putting others down, i suppose they must have their own insecurites to behave in that way.
they just pour their frustrations in QL, thats all.
I come from halfway around the world in the southern hemisphere and trust me, the hate thing is everywhere... if you are noticing it.
If you are then you must be attracting it for some reason, look for the beauty in life and beautiful things will happen.
If you wallow in the negative aspect of everything then you are allowing it into your life.
People always want to put others down because it makes them feel better about themselves...
I've decided to stop noticing, I must admit I smile lots more now.
let's just respect each other and avoid discussing about religion!
if you're wondering, the formula for hate is:
Q = A + T + (A * R)
Q: Qatar
A: Arrogance
T: Toyota Landcruiser
A: Arsehole
R: Religion
i know which part of the formula i could do away with.
Yes Alexa they are but everytime someone tries to calm everyone down, I see someone like him coming and posting something to provoke one side.
I think you maybe talking about me stone cold. All I asked and I am still awaiting answer for that is why do you try and stoke the fire on all India- Pakistan threads. You are present in all of them and you always try to provoke one of the sides. I am just curious what pleasure you get out of it.
Veri, if you dont get the gist of the thread, theres no point explaining it to you. Hate is a strong word and is used loosely.
It's about people not getting the logical and realistic point of view.
It's like "What's this have to do with this one??"
Well some do tend to sway to religion easily, I can see that. ;-P
"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach
Thats right. Not only religion, and some dick head keep telling me to mind their own business when the thread should be an open forum. Its the issue that matters, not personal problem.
even this is a hate thread...
you are hating the haters :-)
so i guess theres no hope then. Good to hear you had a nice break from Doha.
Hiya Alexa, yep i totally agree, its very hard to keep quiet at times, and other times, you cant help yourself.
You know its not even opposing opinions that bother me, its the god damn hate that comes out, and you know its people real feelings, because they can express that behind the screen. So much hate channeled in the wrong way. oh well i guess you cant change people, can you.
I had a great Eid thanks, how was your Thanksgiving?
i would walk away and laugh, dont fancy killing cockroaches, they can fight amongst each other until they kill each other.
what do you do when you see two cockroaches fight??
1. you either kill both of them
2. you just laugh and walk away.
;-)
at first i also interpreted these things as hate talks and more. but if you will just read between the lines, what you can see is not hate but simply wanted to be heard, the need to be needed. some is voicing out there sentiments in the form they know. some are just catching attention.
we need to admit, little learning is a very dangerous thing. we cover our little learnings with hatred and more....
progress
why drool yourself with so much hate...taking it seriously leads you a heart attack...there's no need to waste time.each one of us has its own belief..culture bashing same as religious predjudicial attacks are generally pathetic but still lots of people like to dig further out of curiousity and others just want to heap up the issue.
Thanks Darude, some people didnt get the point. This thread has taken a different direction.
See its not about right or wrong, its abouit respecting each others differences. I guess people will never change, unless they want to, but its sure sucks to be living with all that anger inside you.
I have a Hindu negihbour,i introduced myself to her one day when she moved in and we had coffee and spent endless hours talking about our kids, cultures,life as expats in Qatar, etc. Now to me she wasnt the Hindu with the colorful costumes who worships gods/godesses nor i was the "terrorist" who was oppressed by Islam. We were two individual people striving in this world for our families, experiecing a lot of similar experiences, that despite our physical differences, we were really the same. How simple is that concept. We are not really that different in the end.
Literally speaking yes, but I think nobody takes it seriously.
Including yourself. this is a cycle. a man who is true to himself cannot hate anyone. the most importatnt thing is to seperate the govts and the people. govts foster this hate mongering for their own needs. often people are silent victims

I have come to realize that people don't understand 'difference' at all. Everyone pretends to be open minded and democratic, when in reality, no one is.

for some people they think negitively so dont care abt their comments
He gets rejected by every new girlfriend he makes.
thats because his first GF chopped his balls off his body.
Perhaps what we need here on QL is another forum to hate. That would unify us all, and we can bash them together. Right what forum should we pick on.... I know, I hate vbforums... damn then, who the hell do they think they are?
yeah he caught my attention yesterday , but after reading three words he lost it again!!! what's wrong with him?!?!

People who are filled with hate are everywhere. Best solution would be to ignore them. Let them hate themselves to death. :))
peace pipe....ohhhhh

The American Indians had it right. Bring out the peace pipe, no more arguing, no more fighting, everyone in the tepee gets along fine.
There are just a lot of crisp packets and chocolate wrappers on the floor in the morning.
I love the western bashing! Bring it on...it's quite entertaining really. :P
MJ is right - its been India/Phil/Pak Bashing to be precise.

Actually Brit I have read more comments on Indian and Filipinas bashing than Muslim bashing since joining.
Prodigy good point.
we are all humans
means
we are the same & we also do mistakes
It's not so much a case of imposing one's beliefs. In most cases, It's all too easy to switch to Islam bashing.
express of feelings, as we say no hurt feelings.
relax, enjoy and don't mind them otherwise u will always end up with headache.

Well this is news to me
I guess I haven't been around long enough to take note of all this hate that is going around.
But I have been a member of several websites with public forums for discussions and people hate on each other very often, people of the same race, religion, and country, now BEAT that!
Hate will always be around it's usually every loser's quick fix to anything debatable.
Yeah i do agree with that PM and i also think that the media plays a large role in fostering and reinforcing prejudice amongst the communites.
struggling to control terrorism, megalomaniac leaders and an arms race foster a lot of this hate. I also think we bring a lot of this on ourselves -- both Westerners and Muslims.
I didn't drink the kool-aid! -- PM
Thats true PM but i guess you would have to have some level of maturity to take it with a grain of salt but i just dont get the anger inside these people. How can someone hate so much is beyond me.
Muslim) doesn't bother me, but you certainly can't expect everyone to take it as well as you or I would nadt.
I didn't drink the kool-aid! -- PM
I don't get irritated at all. If I start getting irritated that easily, I would be irritated the whole day coz believe me, being a Non-Believer you get it from all religions. I just love to irritate them who think they have the final say in who goes to hell and who goes to heaven.
Anyway I still know the limit and I don't think I have ever written any post here which can be interpreted as hateful.
No need to trouble your fingures Chinx.... if cannot write just enjoy reading...I never partcipate on any religious thread but enjoy reading it thoroughly..

Sand, do you really get irritated that easily when someone tells you , you are going to hell.If someone said that to me, i would just laugh it off and say well, you have your religion and I have mine. Why take the bait?
i find debates as tiresome...my fingers refuse to type any word..
Dont take it to the heart... whatever happens on QL mostly is not serious business, its just for fun....sail along and enjoy QL....Cheers.

Nice talk!
I salute you and agree with your recommendation!
I have no problem with people believing in something different from me but the moment they start imposing their belief on me and start telling me that I am going to hell and they are travelling to heaven, I love to irritate them further. Follow your beliefs and let others be what they are.
