I was just talking to a group of people the other day, and one of them brought up 911 and really seemed to have a chip on his shoulder towards middle eastern people because of it. I told him that that's like hating christians because some of them bomb abortion clinics. You can't hate an entire group of people because of what a tiny percentage of them has done. Every group has extremists who do not represent the group as a whole.
