Unreasonable hatred resulting from the ignorance of those who would never understand the beauty of Islam. Actually in the history of the world we know which terrorists are not. But dirty political propaganda has hidden their rottenness. Allah is omniscient of what they have done and Allah is as good as where we ask for help.
