So it's not so unusual to hate someone who is basically insulting you and not hate the person who's ideals are so different that you can securely consider them wrong.

Even this doesn't describe how the same ethnic groups have managed to live in peace with one another at different times and different places.
The dislike they have for each other's beliefs only leads to violence when there is a power struggle.
There are neighborhoods in Iraq where people belonging to one sect have lived in peace with their neighbors... until the war led to all the ethnic fighting.
The same was true in India. Muslims and Hindus lived peacefully as neighbors in many areas until the revolution brought up the question of "Who gets to rule?" Then you saw violent segregation and the eventual creation of two nations that are only now starting to think about getting along.
