Your hatred should be directed towards Islamic fundamentalists, not Muslims in general. Like all religions, there are crazy fundamentalists. Christians killed non Chrisitians in the Inquisition during the middle ages and early rennaissance. All heretics were burned at the stake. Even the Jews practiced a form of fundamentalism by killing early Christians. When anything is interpreted too broadly, fundamentalism occurs. Unfortunately, this is the era of Islamic fundamentalism, interpreting archaic laws from the Koran in too broad a manner. But the high majority of Muslims are not fundamentalists, which a lot of people do not know. You hear about Sudan, the Middle East, pretty much everywhere where some form of Islamic fundamentalism is occuring, but these are the theocratic governments, not the people. The general population of Muslims are not responsible for Nick Berg's death or 9/11. And remember, two wrongs do not make a right. Just because certain Arabs killed Americans and now have killed a Jew in a malicious manner does not mean we should be maiming Arabs. Americans are better than that. Revenge is barbaric, maybe even more barbaric than the original crime. Hate is a very powerful emotion and it should not be directed at a broad group of people, like ALL Muslims.
