“Muslims are terrorist”, is one of example of hate speech that occur in cyberworld. Hate speech, also known as malicious expression, is the use of insulting, hostile, or contemptuous words intended towards certain religious practises or groups who share a collective identity, such as sex identification, ethnicity, race, or faith. Because of the gravity of the problem, the spread of online hatred has prompted a number of global projects aimed at identifying it. This article examines the motives behind the posting of expressions of hatred on social media, specifically on Twitter. Researcher used two models such; “The Dramaturgical Social Interaction Model” and “Cultivation Theory” to explain the societal phenomena of hatred expression. The methods used for this study are interviews and focus group discussions which are qualitative methods and Thematic Analysis used to generate outcome. The results of the study show that three main motives have been stated by informants, namely differences in perspective or opinion, discrimination by using religion and having a bad personality. This study suggests patterns of future research on the problem and possible solutions to the expression of hate. It begins with the background of the research, explains the issues beyod hate speech, the purpose of the study, finally continues the research inquiries and research objective, and finally explains the limitations.
