I do not hate Muslims

And I welcome all peace loving Muslims, I welcome all Muslim/Americans, I agree with Lady Liberty, all are welcome on these shores, welcome to be free and worship without fear of violence. I do not hate Muslims, no Muslim has ever harmed me or mine, and the few I've met were truly wonderful people.

I am an atheist, but I do not hate Muslims, or Hindus, or Catholics, or Southern Baptists or Mormons or Jews, or Methodists or any peace loving people, regardless of their creed or beliefs. I am a peace loving atheist who wants to understand the good behind religions, and I want to nurture friendship between the believers and to somehow eliminate the control of the very few zealots who give all religions a bad name.

I do not like religious fanatics because they are the ones who are most likely to foment violence, and I hate dictators or world leaders who take advantage of clashes between religions, and ethnic enemies, and I hate people who manipulate the religious for political gain and amassing power and oppressing whole nations.

I do not want the Muslims of America or of the world to think that all Americans hate Muslims. Many of our citizens THINK they hate Muslims, but they are really afraid of anything different, and they listen to the worst type of racist, white supremacist crap all day on fox and rush and they are being manipulated by evil men who want to conquer the world.

I do not hate Muslims. I want peace with all people of all the world, the Muslim people, the Buddhist people, the Navajo people and I can't hate anyone until they give me a damn good reason, then and only then will I hate them, but I can't hate a whole religion and everyone it it, that's just too many people to hate.
