despising the despicable?

[Etienne]

I just was studying Psalms and came across a verse that never really stuck me until now. Psalm 15:4 says to "despise the despicable." Basically, hate what is evil in the world. Hating seems to be a no-no in Christianity. Evil is the only thing that God ever tells us to hate. Could you honestly say that you actually hate what is evil and un-pure in this world?

Here is a very good article written about hate in the Christian's viewpoint.

when you look at the current war concerning Islam against Jews and Christians it seems of religion... but a false one of the false prophet

I believe it is ok to hate what God hates such as:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Romans 12:9 tells us "Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good."

If someone said rape is evil, yes I can honestly say I hate that evil.
If someone said killing innocent people is evil, Yes I hate that evil.
