The truth as per the Quran is the core principle is to hate non-Muslims.
It says the same thing for Judaism and Christianity. Those sentiments were lifted from the Old Testament. So it is inherently the Old Testament that is to blame ... that is your logic. So it is NOT ISlam to blame it is the preceding religious structures upon which the Islamic tradition is based - and combined with a warring tribal culture in the Arabic world; a culture which still resonates in modern Arabic cultures (irrespective of religious content.)
What I had stated in relation to Islam is from the Quran.
If there is hate from Judaism and Christianity, then they ought to be condemned and the problem be addressed and resolved.
As for Christianity, I understand whatever element of hate there is in the NT, that is overridden by the overriding pacifist maxim of 'love your enemies' and love your neighbors, etc.
In any case, the OP topic is related to Islam-Muslims not Christianity and Judaism.

This is ridiculous. All evils acts of humans are traceable to some history and ancestry elements, so we blame them?
Each must take responsibility for whatever is within their constitution that represent their ideology.
Tunnel vision on religious ideology merely blinds you to everything else causing a presentation of "facts" as mere hyperbole to reinforce the idea you're pushing - rightly or wrongly.
My thesis is abstracted from empirical facts, e.g.
plus the loads of evil committed by SOME Muslims all over the world.
Don't you have any empathy and compassion at all for the victims of terrible Islamic evils and the impulse to do something about it? I do.
My discussions so far has been based on facts and evidence plus forecasts and possibilities based on those evidences.
Again, I say you're a hypocrite here. You preach your views and claim them as "facts" and "truths." This is no different to a religious zealot; of whom most religious people are not. They are just people living in a world and using certain templates to navigate the world, they don't tend to adhere to "religious" pressures per say, more they adhere to cultural tradition and tribalism (to which religions a poltical mechanisms can be attached.)
As I had stated above, I started my thesis based on facts and glaring evidences.
Show me one point where what I presented is fantasy or lies?
Btw, this is a discussion forum where anyone can present their views [supported by arguments and evidences] but you sound as if asking me to shut up.
You've joined ANTIFA recently?
Not-a-theist. Religion is a critical necessity for humanity now, but not the FUTURE.
