Causal analysis of hate crimes based on the approach of the Holy Quran

Crimes committed with the motive of discrimination, prejudice and non-acceptance towards certain groups due to identity characteristics such as race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, belief, etc. in society are described as hate crimes. These crimes are also forbidden in different verses of the Holy Qur'an, and in different verses, it is recommended to observe the principle of human dignity, including verse 70 of Surah Isra', in which God Almighty says: ﴿ولقد کرمنا بنی آدم﴾ But some, like the takfiri groups of ISIL, have committed the most heinous crimes against humanity by misunderstanding some noble verses. However, committing such crimes is strongly condemned by the Holy Quran and it is against the transcendent spirit of God's word. The reason for committing these crimes can be analyzed from different criminological perspectives. This article investigates this issue by analytical-descriptive method and by referring to the library and taking notes as well as translating international documents and domestic books.
