Hmm...well, first off, Ms. Opium, if you do hate Muslims--or Christians, or any other religious group--it would not be a particularly good idea to make much of a fuss about it on forums like the CVD. This is not an attempt to censor you, of course, nor is it an attempt to mini-mod. It's simply an observation--the mods here, like Jorgey and Bloodreign, go out of their way to make sure this place is welcoming for everyone. Christians and atheists are both welcome here, along with Muslims, or pagans, or people of a wide variety of religious views. At least as far as I am aware, the only restrictions placed on any of them is that they treat everyone else with respect. A Christian who went around saying "I hate atheists/muslims/whatever" would find himself unwelcome in fairly short order, I believe. The same applies to atheists, I surmise.
Of course, that leads me away from a simple remonstration to a critique of your point more salient to this thread. You are correct in saying that being prejudiced against a religion is not the same thing as being prejudiced against a race, but the problem is, *both* are relatively irrational.
You rightfully point out that "Anyone who believes that myself and virtually everyone I care about doesn't even have a right to be on this earth is not going to be on my friend list." The problem is, many muslims--and "xtians," and members of bunches of other religious groups categorically DO NOT believe that. Quakers and liberal Christians in general are well-known for their tolerance of homosexuality, along with many other things. And it's hard to imagine Sufi Muslims wanting to eliminate anyone from the Earth, given how they stress self-perfection and mysticism and are known for their non-violence. My own parents, both of whom are Muslim, take a fairly dim view of homophobia, along with a relatively positive view of atheists, Christians, and other religious groups generally.
It makes no more sense, therefore, to "hate" Muslims, Christians, or whatever than it does to hate blacks or whites. You can hate specific groups of blacks or whites--you can hate black gang members or white KKKers--but hating entire races paints with too broad a brush. By the same token, you can hate specific sects of certain religions--Wahabi muslims, Christian cultists--but hating entire religions paints with too broad a brush.
To bring it all back to my friend Beingthehero's original post (though I get the distinct feeling he might have just been joking around with Peklo rather than being serious...XD), this would indeed seem to be a good way of dealing with prejudice, applicable far beyond just ethnic or religious prejudice, too. The world is a very complex place. Those who judge others based on only a single facet of their personalities, whether it's their origins, or their appearance, or their beliefs, or whatever, are blinding themselves to a great deal of that complexity. Thus, in the final analysis, they hurt themselves as much as they hurt the people they're prejudiced against.
