 What is hate? Who defines it? Why are certain preferences hate and

You're the only person I've ever heard who has said "Mein Kampf" is
not full of hate.

 A book no one reads.

Tacit admission that the Talmud (a book that many apparently read) and
Mein Kampf are both equally full of hatred.

 How about the Quran?   How much hate is in that book?

I bought one with the intent of reading it to find out. The
translation I got read from right to left. When I bought it I didn't
think that would bother me but it did. I gave up.

From what I did read it seemed to me exactly like any other religious
book, including the christian bible, reads: lots of "we're the only
true religion" and the lord is going to smite down those who didn't
think so.

One difference....the Quran doesn't say wait for the lord.


It strikes me that gods in most religions in the west smite
down lots of people too.

Since you've apparently read it, and I have admitted that I couldn't
wade through it, why don't you tell me? How much hatred is in the
Qu'ran? What passages did you personally find the most bothersome?

9:5. Then when the Sacred Months (the 1st, 7th, 11th, and 12th months
of the Islamic calendar) have passed, then kill the Mushrikun
{unbelievers} wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege
them, and prepare for them each and every ambush. But if they repent
and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat {the Islamic ritual prayers}),
and give Zakat {alms}, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-
Forgiving, Most Merciful.


How is it that many, if not most, Muslims generally live peaceably,
while others blow themselves up? Is it possibly an issue with
interpretation?

So they say....but how to interpret 9:5 in an
acceptable way?
