Why do they hate Muslims?

NY Times:
Ashin Wirathu, the spiritual leader of the radical movement, skates a thin line between free speech and incitement, taking advantage of the new freedoms at a fragile time of transition.
Hatred of Muslims Rises Among Burmese Buddhists

Amid hate-filled speeches and violence in Myanmar, a fundamentalist movement has grown with an agenda that now includes boycotts of Muslim-made products.
My speculation is that Muslims tend to be abusive when they are in the majority.  That is what is happening in North Africa right now as well as in the Arabian peninsula  where the few Christians that remain are subject to discrimination and worse.  You see the same thing in southern Thailand where non Muslims are the victims of a terror campaign.  There is also a strategic element by Muslims to claim victim status as they do in places like Israel.  They just are not tolerant of those with a different point of view and it loeads to a similar feeling when they become the minority.

  1. Muslims are always tolerant with everybody; sure there are some people around the world who makes some crazy stuff and they attach it to Islam under the name of "extremist", but the real Islam and the Muslims has nothing to do with it, and if you have lived or visited the Arab world you will see the tolerance between the Muslims and the other religions. But of course, every country in the world has its own standards and one has to accept or find a way to live with them when he visit or live in that country.
    What happened in North Africa is that the people there have chosen, through the democratic elections, their new leaders after their successful revolutions. So why the world doesn't want to give them a BREAK and let them do what they want in their OWN countries?
    A woman bumped into a Buddhist novice monk and was convicted of “insulting religion.”!! Does it really deserve to serve 2 years in jail because of that? But why to make movies about the Muslim’s prophet and present him to the world as the worst person in the history is not “insulting religion.” as it’s the freedom of speech! And everybody in the world ignores the 1.5 Billion Muslims in the world.
    When was the last time, in the history, a specific race/group of people/religion are forbidden to have children as much as they want? Why the world ignored what they have done to the “minority” of Muslims in Myanmar? What happened to the human rights? Where is the justice? Or the world will move and worry only about the “minority” rights when some “minority” groups are existed in the Muslims world; and to use it as an excuse to control those Muslim countries.
