If you hate, your hate may destroy someone else. But it will also destroy you, and those people that you love. Hate shrivels up your heart (not physically), and makes you less and less of a human being.
Unfortunately few communal forces bent upon destabilizing our country they are engaged all the time in causing discord among various communities in our country. Their only goal is to spread hatred and division by spreading misconceptions and misperceptions about other religions.
