There's a sense of irony in the lives of those who are consumed with hatred towards any one else. You waste you energy, your energy, your life, based on the terms of the other person.
Its equally sad when people hate on basis of religion/nation etc. All the Muslim bashers, if you were born Muslim you would have been hating Hindus. But you are born hindu, so you hate Muslims. Think of it. You did not control your birth. And an event over which you had no control is affecting your thoughts on which you have control.
It probably is still OK if you hate a person based on what he did to you. But hating a community based on what was done in past. Its like destroying your life. And that applies to every one, irrespective of caste/creed/religion. Perhaps its OK if you want to increase the number of people under your religion. As is said in RSS there are two line and you want to make one line longer. Don't shorten the other line, increase your line. So I wonder where does hatred fit in all this.
One last tip. Please remember that we often become what we hate. There are people who HATE Muslims, because some terrorists (please do not fight with me over percentages here)happen to be terrorists. And then they start suppressing Muslims or other religions in name of stopping terrorism. Are you not doing a terrorist activity yourself. This is what Raj Thakre and party have landed in now. This is what Shiv Sena did some time back. Two wrongs do not make a right. They are still two wrongs..

I am not sure what you want to convey here but having talked to numerous riot victims, I believe it takes a generation for people to shun hatred. Its easier to say that forgive those who killed your close ones but its practically impossible to implement it. Not all people have this big a heart. Being from Moradabad and lived in Meerut, I have lots of friends wo are muslims, but then I have heard a lot of "stories" about how both hindus and muslims have suffered in riots. It has caused more hatred towards the politicians who are responsible for these rather than communities.
I agree.. Its OK hating someone when you he or she has hurted you.
I was wondering about those who hate aimlessly. Because there leaders ask them too. Be it the fatwa accepting leaders, or the valentine's day opposing Shiv Sainiks.
Until the time mobs go unpunished.. riots wouldnt stop.
But the bottomline is there will always remain a bulk of populace willing to be lead in the path of hatred..
these will go on until economic development doesnt reach the threshold that nearly everyone has more at stake than to risk it all for some mindless hatred.
