Is Critique of Islam Hatred of Moslems?

Islamophobia is often defined as the irrational fear of Islam and Moslems. 
But is being critical of Islam and Moslems the same as dislike?

Because the word “Islamophobia” is too blunt and fails, in principle, to distinguish between hating Moslems and criticising Islamic doctrinal beliefs, many Moslem apologists and adherents are quick to stamp it on any critic of Islam.

Unfortunately, rather than the highlighting of genuine hatred against Moslems, the word Islamophobia is now being used to intimidate and silence all criticism of Islam.

Criticism means considering the merits and demerits of a thing or position or ideology. Nothing in it suggests hatred. So, when Moslems fall back to the defense of labelling critics as haters of Islam they either do not know the difference between the two words or they are looking for an escape route out of what they cannot defend in Islam.

Where critics point out their disagreements but DO NOT ADVOCATE discrimination against Moslems it would be wrong to brand such critics as haters of Islam.

In a world where many lack comprehension of issues, it not surprising to see many confuse matters. They cannot differentiate between words or expressions or ideas.

Criticism of Islam does not necessarily amount to prejudice against Moslems.

For example, Mohamed said:
Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah.
(Sahih Bukhari”, Kitab Bhavan, New Delhi, India, 1987, translated by M. Khan, volume 1, #387).

If I quote the above and argue that Mohamed fought others based on this but I think it is wrong for him to allow others no freedom of opinion as to what to believe; will that be said to be hatred for Islam? All I'm stating is the obvious. Coming from Islamic sources we can see that Mohamed said those words. My disagreement with it does not amount to hatred for Moslems.

If I go on to show that Mohamed's violence started out small: raids on defenseless trade caravans, assassinations, and attacks upon small pagan Arab tribes, but grew into the expulsions, mass enslavements, and wholesale massacres of hundreds of prisoners.  Eventually Mohamed began to send out armies of thousands to fight non-Moslems and this culminated into wholesale subjection of regions and tribes via force or intimidation.  And use this to counter claims by any Moslem apologist that Islam spread through PEACEFUL means, that is not hatred but the fact.

Because most of the details (incidentally copiously recorded in Islam's books) of Mohamed life do not go on well with today's standards, Moslems would then rather choose the path of accusation than admit the truth.

A mere claim of 'Islam is a religion of peace' unsubstantiated from the source books on which the religion's ideology is based will not satisfy a keen questioner. On the other hand, a show of evidence from Islam's books and history that VIOLENCE has always been a part of Islam should not be enough for a critic to be labelled an islamophobe.

Critique of Islam is not hatred of Moslems. Indeed many critics of Islam do so because of their desire to see the Moslem come out of what they consider bondage. That is not hatred. That is love.

It is Not Very Respectful To Mock Another's Beliefs

Most religions make it easy for appeals to emotion, this is what usually plays out when they face criticism.

No.

Everything in the world is criticised!

There was a time the true God introduced himself to the descendants of Adam, before then angels came down, put on human bodies and started having sex with female humans indiscriminately, that was the first time humans were introduced to casual sex before then only married people mate together but right from the moment those angels started having sex with female humans confusion set in everywhere, people now feel they can enjoy sex without being married. Those pregnant ladies who had sex with materialised angels gave birth to abnormal species of children who grew faster and bigger than usual, they became giants and bullies, that's why God decided to wipe out that generation through a global deluge.
During the deluge all humans and the giants born to those angels died naturally but the materialised angels did not die, they dematerialized and returned to heaven as angels again, God did not allow them to mix with those angels who kept their position. So since those angels couldn't return to their homes in peace they ganged up and returned to the earth as gods displaying their powers everywhere they go, they seized territories and people began worshiping them instead of the true God. This went on for centuries until God chose Abraham from amongst the worshipers of this demons, God introduced himself to Abraham and from that time on God began proving his supremacy above all other spirits claiming god.
These gods(angels) drag territories using humans as tools to keep those territories, that's why there were wars back then over the territories. So when the true God decided to keep a potion in the land of Canaan for his own worshipers to stay and practice pure worship to serve as example for others, those fallen angels instigated their worshipers to attack God's people. Despite the fact that everyone heard how God delivered the Israelites from bondage in Egypt without a military force, those stubborn people still want to exterminate God's organized people. That's why God gave the Israelites order to fight back and one Israelites will handle a thousand of their adversaries anytime their God is behind them!
This was the story Muhammad heard thinking that God's people must go about killing those who don't worship God, it wasn't so rather God's people were defending the portion God gave them in which they're to practice pure worship.
When Jesus came he asked his followers to go and make people of all nations who wants to know the true God his disciples, that was the moment worshipers of God seize to fight with weapons and their instrument now becomes God's inspired word, to conquer people who love to know about pure worship and bring them to God. But if anyone is not interested in pure worship they are to love such person as their neighbour who also has the right to live and practice whatever religion appeals to him!
So if you find anyone carrying weapons of war today, know that such persons have no business with the true God, because the true God has issued a decree that everyone who wants to be on his side must adhere strictly to the counsel of his only begotten son (Jesus)

God bless you!

Unlike what we find in the Koran no portion of the Bible tells the Christian to hate any person.

Jesus calls us to love our neighbors (Matt. 22:39), and he also tells us that persons of every color and culture are equal in him (Col. 3:11). Furthermore, Jesus left us an example in suffering for doing good—not causing others to suffer—and he calls us to follow in his steps (1 Pet. 2:20-23)
