My first reply to you was merely my opinion of your arguments using the table, I still don't think the unfavorable views of Christians or Jews from the Islamic countries or China can be deemed equivalent to this type of insult.
Regarding your recent posts, the Japanese politician had insulted a religion plus a whole country (although he had to apologize for that), I would say that this is much worse than a forum member calling him names specifically. But yeah, calling him names isn't going to contribute anything to the discussion.
Fair enough. Now going back to negative views not showing hatred, there indeed is a correlation. I've lived in the middle east for many years and jew hatred is very much well instituted and taught in schools.
Difficult to define hatred, and since the word is judgmental towards the person showing hatred, hardly anyone admits to it.
