The government should do something about it. The truth about Islam is that to live in harmony wherever they are. So long as the other did not conquer Muslim's country they should not feel hatred to others.

That'a not new. Satan is very much alive within every religious group. Do we have the faith and courage to fight them?

For a start I think the word Madrassa means school, so saying that all madrassas are teaching this is a rather bad generalization.

Secondly this would not be the first case of a religion being abused to instill hate and keep control, what do you thing the crusades were?

You have to remember that religious or not people are people and so are capable of feelings of hate, anger etc. Most religions are full of morality and guide people towards kindness, love and freedom it is we as people that create the divide and violence. Prejudice comes from our minds not religion.

Why not?
Have you heard some of the sermons coming out of the Church Barack Obama attends?
There’s some hate in that building, for SURE.
And that’s here in America.

Not to mention the inter-faith hatred present in a lot of churches around the country.

The Baptist churches I attended as a child were pretty raunchy in that respect, too.

If only religion truly were the "opiate of the masses". Instead, it's more like the Jack Daniels or Tequila of the masses (bringing out & encouraging their violent tendencies).
