One thing is what scripture say, another is what people actually believe on a personal level. This should be obvious. You get the same bad-faith reasoning about why it's ok to dislike muslims - basically ignoring the fact that they are individuals and using their ties with a religion against them to a degree that goes beyond what's fair and realistic.

I'm prejudiced against people who DO BAD THINGS, regardless of their religion, ethnicity, gender,
etc. The fact that certain sub-sections of certain groups do bad things in unison and in high numbers over extended periods of time is not my fault. And being aware of those actions that are detrimental to society as a whole, and who does them, does not make someone a bad person. It makes them self aware and informed, which is something we should all strive to be.
Or maybe I'm just that one-in-a-billion person on this planet that sees things differently than you.
