Do Americans hate all Middle Eastern people?
Middle Eastern people could be Persian, Turkish, Arab, Kurd, etc. Many of them are not even religious or "Muslim", yet they face extreme hatred and discrimination in every factet of American society including social, occupational and political. It seems in the American lexicon: Radical Muslim=Arab=MiddleEastern and please don't answer because they are terrorists or wife-beaters as those are not true. 99.9999% of them have never seen or known a terrorist.
Do most Middle Eastern people hate Jews?
I don't know if there are accurate, unbiased statistics reports of how many extremists there are living in the Middle East, but let's assume that any groups of extremists hate Jews. They probably hate anyone that's different, including Americans, Europeans, Christians, and non-radical Muslims.There is a large population of non-Radical Muslims living in the Middle East. Among those it's hard to now how many have been influenced by the very LOUD radicals as Fahad Al-Ayoub mentioned to be prejudiced. Hate is a strong word. Hate enough to kill? Hate enough to support murder? Feel prejudiced toward? The latter is likely very rampant, due to consistent bad media.I wouldn't say most, but I might say that due to the presence of higher numbers of extremists, and the near-absence of Jews in those areas, antisemitic sentiments in the Middle East is likely much more rampant than here in the US.But the truth is that antisemitism in the US is a lot more rampant than people would like to believe too."Nearly 60% of the 1,166 anti-religious hate crimes reported to the FBI in 2012 were anti-Jewish. " Hate Crimes May Be Down, But Anti-Semitism Is Still Malignant (note: the headline is a bit misleading. Racially motivated hate crimes are still much more rampant than anti-Semitic hate crimes.)So if you're Jewish and you meet someone from the Middle East, should you assume they hate you? No! But (dare I say) you can probably expect at least a little bit of prejudice. But sometimes even prejudiced people have approached me with a certain level of open-mindedness and willingness to learn about how others live.
Why do Americans hate people from the middle east so much?
Over 80% of US Americans have never had a passport, and over 70% of them never been more than 200 kilometers from where they were born and went to school. All they know about the world is what they see on TV or hear from people who have been overseas. US American have an unacknowledged image of the middle east, thinking it's all desert, camels, palm trees, and like in the Sally Field film, Not without my daughter. They don't know about the forests and mountains, ski fields, beaches, clubs, bars, casinos, international hotels, amusement and fun parks. Nor that everyone speaks English, plays and watches sports goes to the cinemas, live theatre, opera, car shows, festivals, umbrella events, even see live international bands. Or goes to work pays rent and bills, buy groceries at a supermarket or go to the huge shopping malls. Most Middle Easterners I know, switches on the TV, watches a DVD or jumps on the net, hits the gym or walks there dogs, just like everyone else in the world does. I've been to many middle eastern country's it's really no different from anywhere else, even the weather in Iran and Saudi Arabia is like in the USA and Canada. It snows in winter and gets really hot and humid in summer. The fundamental muslims are no different to the fundamental christians in the United States, only they don't accost, panhandle or preach religion in public. Middle Eastern people are very friendly, outgoing, well humored and treat all there guest as part of their family. Since US Americans never are taught about foreign cultures, customs, traditions, values and laws. They don't educationally understand that the world outside there country isn't like the United States, nor just because all people speak English that they are anything like them. I've never seen a beheading nor public hangings, stoning etc, when I've been to a middle eastern country. It's the same as no one has seen persons accused as being witches being burnt alive or drowned in the USA. Or a public floggings with a cane in Malaysia or Indonesia, or a firing squad in China or Bali. It really comes down to lack of education and believing everything they see on TV about the world, is true.
Why do lots of Middle Eastern people hate Israel, yet give Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain a free pass?
It's well known that at least some of thsoe kings run terrorist regimes who want bloodthirsty terrorist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaeda and Hamas and them to win And persecution of Christians and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists is horrible in those countries. As bad as Isreal is to palestinians, it at least Israel tolerates Christians and Muslims and other faiths. and what can Israel do when Palestinian terrorists hamas have vowed in charters to wipe out israel and all jews? hmm And press freedom stinks in all those countries as neutral press freedom rights groups have studied and found. Like for example qatar threw bbc guys in jail just for trying to find out working conditions of poor migrant workers. and reports show those migrant workers are abused and underpaid and overworked so they live miserable lives and like 60 percent of them or so die in the work and yet it's such a horrible injustice. And I'm not from Israel either so I'm neutral
Why do some people think I have a Middle Eastern look when...?
I look nothing like Middle Eastern. Im Brazilian and have roots of Italian, portuguese, and spaniard and look like a European, except I have dark features. I have the seen the same people with the same face but are light Ie: blonde hair and blue eyes. I was playing with Europeans against Arabs and the Arabs never even considered one their own. Of course Im not, I speak European language, European last name, Catholic, European body figure (6'0) and light light skin, yet some black people manage to say I look middle eastern. Besides, in my opinion, its the other way around: some middle easteners look european. http://img266.imageshack.us/my.php?image...
Why do Arabs/Middle Eastern people hate Indians so much?
I have run into so much online racism from Arabs and Middle Eastern people. Personally, not only their backwards culture but also the online racism I have run into from them has made me REALLY HATE THEM A LOT.

Why do so many Middle Eastern people look so evil and Moody?
I have yet to meet a nice happy looking Middle Eastern person. The ones at the gas stations look like they wish you would fall out and die, and this woman at the McDonalds today was so unpleasent and evil looking I think she should be fired. I don't get it. Why do they come over here if they don't like us?
Why is it so common that people from Middle Eastern cultures hate dogs? I understand that in Islam, dogs are considered dirty. Why?
In Islam, there is are two well known strongly authenticated hadith (secondary religious source in Islam second only to the Qur'an)The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "Whoever keeps a dog, his good deeds will decrease every day by one qeeraat (a unit of measurement), unless it is a dog for farming or herding." In another report, it is said: "... unless it is a dog for herding sheep, farming or hunting." (Reported by al-Bukhaari)The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "Angels do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or an animate picture." (Reported by Bukhari)Essentially people do not want to have dogs in their homes because they want angels to visit them and they do not ideally want to keep dogs unless they are needed as work animals. There are quite a few hadith about being friendly to and caring for animals too. Dogs are considered unclean and when they touch you, you become ritually unclean and must perform ablutions again. In many places this has been taken too far with people hating or fearing dogs even though this is clearly not what Islam intended. Dogs are simply just not meant to be pets in terms of Islamic life and should only be kept outside as work animals much like a cow or a chicken or a donkey or a bull.Now you also asked why dogs are considered dirty. First of all many dogs will actually eat their own fecal matter. Unlike say a cat they do not try to bury their feces. They tend to get their slobber on pretty much everything too. Their saliva is one of the things that is considered particularly unclean. There are even studies that have now shown homes with dogs have considerably more germs and bacteria in them. Dirty dogs: Homes with pooches loaded with bacteria - NBC News.com these are all reasons why dogs are considered unclean.
What do people from the Middle East think of America?
I don’t know about Israel, but I think Middle Eastern people in the other countries are extremely interested in politics. It’s part of their daily lives to spend hours and hours watching the news, reading the paper to stay really informed. Since none of the countries are actual democracies, people don’t get to decide what happens to them. And there is nothing they would want more.So It’s difficult for them to believe that people in the US are uninformed, and completely uninterested in politics, and even less attentive to America’s interventions around the world.That’s why a lot of the people in the Middle East don’t just hate the American government. They also hate the Americans. Because from where they see it, the US is a democracy, and a majority of Americans voted for X and Y and agree with their policies to bomb them, invade them and so on.Despite all this, most people really admire the easy lifestyle and the science and technology the US has.
