Is there any religious text that asks Jews to dislike Muslims?

Question

Is there any religious text in Judaism that asks its followers to dislike Muslims? Dislike or even "hate" but NOT "fight" or "kill" as those are very different issues. To dislike someone or a certain group it's a feeling or a choice of attitude but translating that into an action is entirely a different order.

Edit: I have been asked to reveal the motive behind this question. I believe it's irrelevant however there is no harm in doing that.

I was merely comparing a religion to an other, Islam for example states for example that we (ie Muslims) should dislike/hate (NOT kill or harm) those who worship idols. I was wondering if there is a similar religious text in Judaism but about Muslims (and maybe Christians?!) since history tells us a little about the conflict between Idolatry and Judaism but a lot about the conflict Judaism and Islam or Christianity

Answer 1

The short answer is no.

We are permitted to hate evildoers. Nonetheless, the Mishna in Avot Chapter 2 says (this is a text that contains the spirit of Torah ethics as passed down from God to Moses…) that hatred of people destroys the person who hates.

Also, according to Rambam (Maimonides), even the 7 nations of Canaan and Amalek whom we are commanded to exterminate, were able to surrender and make peace with Israel and even continue to live in the Land of Israel.

I understand from all of this that one should strive to hate only the sin but not the sinner, because the sinner can still change their ways and return to a moral life. Only God knows who is 100% evil. The hatred we are commanded to have for Amalek is for the collective race; even so, the individuals can change their ways. The ultimate destruction of evil nations is when the bad ones become good.

Answer 2

Disproving a negative is difficult, but I will say that there is no religious text that prescribes disliking or hating Muslims and I will support my assertion with circumstantial evidence.

Throughout history, major Jewish leaders have had good relations with Muslims. Rambam was a physician of the royal family of the Ayyubid dynasty. If there was a commandment for Jews to hate Muslims, I believe it is safe to say that such an important religious Jew would not be violating that commandment.

Unfortunately, nowadays, there is definitely animosity in many cases between Jews and Muslims. In my opinion, this can be traced to the political conflict over the Land of Israel that is essentially divided along religious lines. But hate by Jews against Muslims is entirely because of intolerance and not because of any specific religious commandment to hate the other. Just like there are intolerant Muslims who hate Jews simply for being Jews, there are indeed some intolerant Jews who hate Muslims simply for being Muslims. Intolerance based on superficial differences is an ugly trait and is certainly not advocated by the Holy Torah.

Avoth 1:12 cites an injunction to love all G-d's creatures:

הִלֵּל אוֹמֵר, הֱוֵי מִתַּלְמִידָיו שֶׁלְאַהֲרֹן, אוֹהֵב שָׁלוֹם וְרוֹדֵף שָׁלוֹם, אוֹהֵב אֶת הַבְּרִיּוֹת וּמְקָרְבָן לַתּוֹרָה

Hillel says, "Be of the disciples of Aharon, loving peace and pursuing peace, loving the creatures and bringing them closer to Torah."

Nonetheless, as opposed to the unconditional love/forgiveness preached by many Christians, and as opposed to the "pluralism" preached by many liberals, Judaism does indeed limit this love and tolerance of mankind. See e.g. Rabbi M. Soloveichik's "The Virtue of Hate":

...while no human being is denied the chance to become worthy of God’s love, not every human being engages in actions so as to be worthy of that love, and those unworthy of divine love do not deserve our love either.

Soloveichik further refines that idea, based on the Talmudic passage about the rebuke G-d gave his angels that sought to sing his praise when the Egyptians were drowned in the Red Sea:

According to the Talmud, the angels began singing a song of triumph upon the deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt until G-d interrupted them: “My creatures are drowning, and you wish to sing a song?” ...Apparently one must cross some terrible moral boundary in order to be a justified target of G-d’s hatred—and of ours. An Israeli mother is right to raise her child to hate Saddam Hussein, but she would fail as a parent if she taught him to despise every Arab.

...When we are facing those who seek nothing but our destruction, our hate reminds us who we are dealing with. When hate is appropriate, then it is not only virtuous, but essential for Jewish well-being.
