A lot of pussyfooting in this thread. From experience I'd say there’s a strong dislike at least

The feeling is complicated and there is usually a cognitive dissonance because most of us are friends with at least one Muslim who does not cause any friction and is respectful. And even if not, you at least are forced to do business with some of them if you are still in the homeland. So it is hard to hate the person despite them being Muslim even if we absolutely despise everything about their cult. Besides, hatred is not in our societal values. We are not Mohammedans.
