No, of course it is not.

If the Muslim was a wife beater, then sure hate the bastard, but don't bring up his religion.

Being a Muslim is not something you can judge a character on.

WHY are you so idiotic?

i supose if you want to be just another stereotypical ignorant-intolerant-blind westerner that could be a good enough reason

Because hating someone for no reason other than "just because" is ignorance in the highest degree.

Would it be hypocritical of me to say that Unfan is a complete and utter idiot because of his views?

How about the fact that their name identifies them exemplifying reproachable behavior.

A wife beater is someone who carries out physical abuse on their wife, which I think we can all agree that it's anti-progressive because it leads the woman to feeling physical pain, and having lower self-esteem, and it enables the wife-beater to stay stuck in the same controlling rut, which leads him to lower self-esteem. Meanwhile, a Muslim is only a person who follows the religion of Islam, and there is absolutely nothing inherently wrong with that.

Not to mention the majority of them are good people unfortunately tarred with the same brush of those who are radical and extremist...

Not "wrong" persay because a behavior can't be wrong since a behavior is always what it is. On the other hand, it can be subjectively bad, and since subjectivity is the very nature of what we're talking about its still a valid thought. Why is viewing something as bad so bad?

Hate leads on to hate crimes.

I vote for you to shut up.
