Religion is a disease of the mind.

From the sound of it, your entire community needs to be quarantined.

I'm not a religious person but i figured out myself that you cant love until you hate. and in the end if you hate someone because they hate you, i can't see where you are wrong. plus, you said you read the bible and correct me if i am mistaken, the bible has stories of hate red. just know that if you are sorry for the things you did wrong, whatever is out there will forgive you if you learn to forgive yourself.

Pray that God gives you the type of love you need to show and give. Ya it isn't going to be easy but it is going to be worth while. Keep yourself near to God and you will get your reward.

Many will hate you because they hated Jesus and Jesus abides within you. Dont hate them. The are blind and dint fully understand God and who he is. Idk all too much about the Muslims but I have come across some Muslims and they respect Christians, they believe in Allah but they still manage to respect my beliefs. Dont let anybody tell you who you are. You aren't a prostitute. Just keep praying and while you pray say a prayer for me as well.

"Be not afraid."

"Love one another."

Those were the words of Jesus which are repeatedly spoken in the Bible. He has set a good example. There's not much we can do but to pray for those who hate us.

Especially the prosecuted Christians for their faith, for it has been said:

"?Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account." - Matt 5:11

If Jesus could forgive even those who were supposed to be his friends and countrymen of betraying him then we can all find a way to forgive those who we clearly have justification to hate.

How? By going to him in prayer. Ask him to help you with this hate that you feel and tell him that you want to get rid of it. Ask him to remove it from your heart, and he will.

Forgiveness and love even for our enemies is the first step to finding a way to heal yourself. You cannot be truly happy inside until you do.

I find it helps to look for the good, even if their isn't much, instead of the bad. You will find it if you look. Many times people are cruel and opinionated because they are lacking an understanding of the other person's point of view or are lacking in experiences in dealing with people who are not like they are. It's called prejudice and it is a very great problem. All we can do to solve the problem is to try to change people's mind by changing one person at a time.

It sounds like a very small thing to do, to effect just one person's life for the better but it ripples in effect. Look at the effect of Jesus' life and his teachings. Nazareth was a very little place too.

I am a Mormon and consider myself to be a Christian. Many people are prejudiced against Mormon's too. All I can do is try to be the best Christian I can be and influence one person at a time to come to know that Mormon's aren't bad. You can do the same in your environment too and as you come to make even one Muslim friend you will find that your situation will improve.

I use to be a Muslim so I understand a lot of what you're saying. It is common belief amongst Muslims that Christian women are whores, mainly due to Muslim men watching porn. They assume anyone from the West is a Christian.

When I found Christ I decided I had to stop hating others. It was a big thing for me to once wish death on certain people, only to now pray for them.

Islam is a dangerous religion. Others tell me to be open minded, but I use to be a Muslim so I know what it's all about. I know what Muslims really believe that they don't say in front Far(disbelievers). I'm from USA and I was one day drinking tea with a Palestinian and he said "someday this will be a Muslim country" Bilal Philips who is very popular amongst American Muslims(mainly due to his easy to read books on the basics of Islam) said it was OK to kill anyone in Israel because of the mandatory military service, so everyone including children are justified to be killed.

Yet people call me ignorant. Yet these are the same people who say the Branch Davidians are a cult, that Scientology is a cult, but Islam is not? Why? Because it has so many followers? Because most of the followers are not White? Hypocrisy.

All I can say is be careful and cautious. You know the danger that is Islam since you live around it. But don't hate. Pray for them. And those that did hurt you. Pray for them as well, but obviously be careful too. Forgiveness and caution come in hand.

The Orthodox answer is prayer and fasting to allow your mind to become free from the wordily things.
