Why American and European people hate Arabs and see them as enemies?

The media 👉🏻📺 🗞️

The western media tends to paint Arabs as uncultured and somewhat uncivilised. There's an image of Arabs as being violent, authoritarian fundamentalists and extremely patriarchal. Their laws are based on religious intolerance, making them bigoted, and are designed to keep women as second class citizens under the strict control of males and to criminalise the LGBT community. They are seen to worship a false God and despite their vast wealth they lack class and breeding and promote Islamic terrorism.
I think that covers most of it.

They have the most appalling habit of exploding in crowded areas.

It is simple.. the Golden age of Arabs was the dark period for Europe then.
Algebra, Alphabet, Chemistry & Astronomy owe their existence to Arabs. This is Europe. Is there any country or nation that the American(governments) don’t hate?

I, for one, certainly don't hate any culture or ethnicity

It goes back centuries frankly...

The growth of the rich, educated, sophisticated Arab world in the middle ages was an afront to the largely backward Europe of the time.

Then someone realised they were in "The Holy Lands". So "we good Christians" needed to free the oppressed Holy land and return it to Christians.

Whoohoo off to war.

Of course the main reason was for Lords and Kings and the Church to plunder to add to their coffers. But they needed to make it a Holy War to get people to travel so far from their homelands and fight with any passion. Thus Arabs became this enemy to be hated for desecrating our Holy sites etc

Therefore Arabs = bad = sworn enemy has been embedded in European psyche for generations.

I'm American. I do not hate anyone for their nationality, culture, religion, skin color or sexuality. I base the like or dislike of an individual person according to the type of person they are and how they treat me. So, I really have no idea what you are talking about.

I'm American and I don't feel that way.

The problem is that what you see on the news or on Tik Tok does NOT reflect how every American feels.

I'm American. And i pick and choose daily who I'm gonna hate. Because I can.

they kind of did it to themselves with 9/11 and their inability to get their families to stop doing random terrorist attacks

this wasn't helped by the way they acted as refugees in Europe

prior to 9/11, racism against arabs didn't really exist in the US, most Americans couldn't even tell the difference between arabs and indians prior to 9/11

It’s a controlled fear. The collective fear serves to maintain a high defense budget to cover the Middle East. Our uninformed politicians are manipulated by the military industrial complex with fear. The general population is just caught in the middle.
After 911 the hatred was sold and justified easily.
But all this sticks because Arabs have their own phenotype, different from Europeans.
Notice the same propaganda goes towards Russia but the general public doesn’t hate them.
Recently China has been the target. Since they look different, people are starting to buy it.
Our hatred is amplified and seems justified if the person accused of doing bad things is of a different race.

All I want to know is are you single?

because governments want us to hate them. as an american all i hear about are the very small percentage of people from that side of the world who are extremists. however, in school we were taught that MOST people in the middle east think that way and were made to fear them. certainly there are groups in the middle east who use islam as a cover to be extremely violent and all around terrible people—such as the taliban and al-qaeda, but they are a loud minority. my friend is muslim and she is the most gentle and understanding person ever. classic racism at play

That’s not true. I’ve had many Arab friends and coworkers here in the US. Most people here do not generalize their hate. Certain media outlets make money by keeping their audience scared, it’s all b/s..

Because I read a fair bit of the koran

I live in the USA and I don’t hate Arabs, I feel like the stereotype created here is much the same as stereotypes against a lot of other cultures as well. Personally I’ve met some very kind people from Arabic countries. I honestly don’t know a lot about Arabs.

I don't think we do.

Of course, getting off of oil so that OPEC can go pound sand would def make the West happy. We've made oppressive regimes fabulously rich and powerful.

Pres. Carter was right--there is a finite amount of oil. We should have acted on that information from that time, and we'd have had a different trajectory through history.

As I see it, fundamentally it goes back to a lack of self criticism.

We don't. We hate certain leaders who are responsible of dividing people by Manipulation. Thankfully it's not much of the case anymore. Many Good leaders are rising

Because our respective governments have set it up that way, and make sure enough atrocities are committed to keep hostility high, while said governments continue on their merry corrupted way.

I do not hate Arabs.

It's politically Influenced thought.

It has a lot to do with geography and ancient knowledge. Babel is a starting point. Arabs happen to inhabit that area. We need to have an "excuse" to justify occupying their land so we don't look like the bad ones....💡 Let's portray all of them as extremist terrorists. 9/11 -an inside job- happens, then fast forward a couple years of media's hard work. Boom, war on Iraq, no public resistance whatsoever. The rest is history.

We don't. Hope this helps.

Not all of them do

Charly Hebdo, Bataclan and various trucks

Mostly because of Iran and the way some wealthy countries support terrorism. The entire Arab population gets painted with that brush which is not fair.

ignorance, just like all forms of hatred

I spent 40 days in Saudi Arabia because of the Iran hostage crisis. Didn't feel very welcome. I am white

Because they don't study English or adapt Western culture. No Western fashion.. 😀

Well as a Canadian i wish i could tell you but I have no idea why

Wow, that's a sweeping generalisation ......🙄

I'm American and I don't hate Arabs.

If anything, it’s mainly conservative Americans and conservative Europeans who would see them as enemies.

I would honestly say we don't. Arabs aren't an enemy. Extremist (of all types) can potential be an enemy and some Arab Extremist attacked America.

But most Americans don't think most Arabs are enemies.


Some do, but some also think the earth is flat and Quanon as we also have a lot of stupid opinionated people.

I don't think most Americans or Europeans do.

I don't hate Arabs at all. I try to separate the individual from the stereotypical group. I think 9/11 fed a lot of fears. But we have to recognize no group of people bear the responsibility for a small faction. I hope it has improved and continues to get better. I can't imagine living with the feeling I am feared, hated, and mistrusted.

We don't it's just you that hates them

If that’s the case then America and many European countries must be using reverse psychology by opening their doors to so many Arabs .
How many Arab countries open their doors for Americans and Europeans ?
How many have even opened their doors for fellow Arabs ?

I'm European and i don't hate Arabs.

Ignorance

I don't hate their looks or language, but I don't support cultures that oppress people.

Theres good and bad everywhere

9 11

I don't hate Arabic people. I was almost in love with an Arab woman that I met on here. too complicated

They seem to want to blow things up.

I don't think most Americans think that way at all, we see certain elements within the Arab community as enemies but certainly not all Arabs

European as a whole dose not hate Arabs

Just plain ignorance.
