Answer 1
Ask them. It may be due to their ignorance about Islam. It may be due to the Media that is biased against Islam. It may be due to the biased politics against Islam. Many reasons could be possible but non of them is rational or logic or based on sound reasons. Islam is the religion of truth, love, peace, justice, and good morals.

Answer 2
Its because westerners, who live in a Judeo-Christian/Greco-Roman culture don't understand Islam, and what they don't understand they are afraid of.
They don't understand is that all three religions (Christianity, Judaism, and Islam) are all members of the same family of Religions, the Abrahamic Religions. Christianity branched off Judaism, then Islam split off Christianity and then split into Shiite and Sunni Islam. To add to the misunderstanding are these constant views and images that media is spewing all over. So whenever they speak of terrorism they make sure it follows an image of a woman wearing a hijab, or crazy extremists shouting death to America.
They think, wrongly, that all Muslims are like the Al Queda or Taliban. Which is totally retarded, as there are many Muslims that are totally against Al Queda and fighting along the British, Germans, Americans and Poles/Czechs!
Actually, the Taliban and Al Queda have twisted and distorted the Koran to fit their wants and desires.
Answer 3
This is not part of the one above. People don't understand that the extremists are not actually Muslims because it say in the Quraan that you have to, respect your neighbours, believer or nonbeliever.
Secondly, I as a Muslim get really angry when someone draws the prophet. But so would any Christian if I drew Jesus with a bomb on his head!
Answer 4 (Non-Muslim Answer)
One of the major problems with even putting forward a question like this today is the presence of the term "Islamophobia" which has really no definition and can be so easily applied. Any criticism of Islam or of Muslim practices just gets branded with this label, even if the words are spoken by Muslims. Therefore, I propose (in this answer) three separate words to discuss the varied feelings of Non-Muslims towards Islam:
Put most simply: Muslim people are lovable, Islamic religion is salvageable, Islamic politics are insufferable.
Anti-Mohammedanism
Most Non-Muslims (contrary to Muslim assertions) are not actually Anti-Mohammedan. While there are certainly a minority of individuals who say that Muslims themselves are a cancer on society, this is a very limited opinion. Muslims of all backgrounds, like Arabs, Indians, Southeast Asians, etc. are typically warm, hospitable, and loving people. They work diligently at their jobs, aspire for their children to have better lives, and are every bit as caring and nurturing as any other citizen. The TV show "Muslims in America" was cancelled after one season because the participants in the show were "too normal". The only difference between them and non-Muslims were that some of the women wore hijabs and everyone prayed on Fridays instead of Sundays. Their ideologies and views were quintessentially American. Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan famously joined the celebrations when Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan, because they opposed the terror and fear that he represented.
If there may be one thing worth noting here, it is that Non-Muslims hope that Muslims can take a critical look at their past in a way that, up to this point, few of them have dared to do.
Anti-Islamicism
Many more non-Muslims are Anti-Islamic and point to a number of issues with Islamic legal practice and belief. Some of these Islamic "ideas" are incredibly frightening to many non-Muslims. The discussions about declaring Holy Wars on Unbelievers, are very frightening and scary to many who treasure the idea of Freedom of Conscience. Furthermore, Islam as a religion may promote tolerance of other religions, but certainly does not promote equality between religions. Qur'an verse 9:29 which formed the backbone Islamic legal treatment of Non-Muslims historically, says:
Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah [tax] willingly while they are humbled.
This has led persistently negative treatment of Non-Muslims in Muslim countries. Admittedly, in the Middle Ages, it was superior to European treatment, but today the situation is reversed. Muslims in Europe live without fear that their Mosques could be destroyed or that violence will be used against them. However, Egyptian churches continue to be bombed and Egyptian Christians have no recourse. Lebanese Christians fled Lebanon in the 1920s and 1930s to escape Muslim pogroms. Jews departed from nearly every Muslim-majority country to go to Israeli internment camps because living there was better than their historical ties for centuries to the countries in which they lived. Islam has not learned from this and continues to tell Muslims that they did nothing wrong.
Additionally, Islamic Penal Law makes Non-Muslims very scared. Some particularly problematic issues include: claiming that the rape victim is criminally liable for "getting raped", chopping off a thief's hands as punishment for theft, the execution of homosexuals, blasphemy laws in general, permission given to enslave people, and execution of apostates.
If Islamic views modernize and its adherents show that they are willing to compete in the marketplace of ideas instead of just yell, scream, and perform violent acts until everybody listens, Islam may get a fairer shake. Until then, many see Islam as undesirable and regressive. If voices like Tawfik Hamid ring louder than those of Ayatollah Khamanei, Islam may garner many more Non-Muslim advocates or at least alienate far fewer. A link to Tawfik Hamid's "Mr. Tolerance" PDF has also been provided to get a flavor of the type of Islam that he advocates.
Anti-Islamism
The overwhelming majority of Non-Muslims oppose (either strongly or weakly) Muslim attempts to impose Islamic Laws on a country's citizens and people. Given that many Non-Muslims find the Islamic Penal Law outdated and horrendous and see that Islam seeks to repress religious minorities, they are not interested in a government that seeks to rule by exactly these mechanisms. This is not opposition to Muslim politicians like Keith Ellison, since he is not an Islamist, but merely a politician informed by values. An Islamist actively seeks the implementation of part or the whole of Shari'a Law, with the intent of creating an Islamic State. Many Non-Muslims in the West hold dearly to the idea that religion should stay out of politics in order to allow every religion the freedom to operate and discuss its views. An Islamist State would also be very restrictive to Muslims, forcing them to live in a Puritanical Way that would prevent differing local customs from informing the cultural richness that can be found in Islamic countries. Islamist regimes (like Iran) are notoriously violent to their own citizens and Non-Muslim compassion for Muslims (Anti-Anti-Mohammedanism) is greatly saddened when such regimes come to power.
Answer 5 (Hints on Answer 4 above)
So, you conclude that truncating a specific verse from its full text could give a wrong meaning and wrong impression. Same applies for other verses.
To conclude; Quran says (Meaning English translation): "O mankind, indeed We (Allah or God in English and same God in Christianity and Judaism) have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes (different nations and different countries) that you may know one another (and cooperate for mankind benefit). Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah (or God and same God worshiped in Christianity and Judaism) is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted" (Quran, 49:13)
because they don't know what is true Islam,I'm an Islam too!
Islam does not hate freedom.
Most people in the West do not hate Asians or Muslims. The people that do hate Asians usually think Asians are inferior to Europeans. Some people think Asians or Africans or Arabs or Hispanics are "less American" than European-Americans. Some people in the west associate Islam with Jihad linked terrorist groups such as Al Queda. Once again some think that Islam is not American. However, In general, Europeans and Americans don't hate Asians or Muslims.
True Islam doesn't hate. So, no, Islam doesn't hate Freemasons. There are, of course, radicals in any organization / religion that hate anyone that does not believe what they do.
Yes,Rihanna do hate islam bCoz is the devil...
Islamic rules and law do not promote hate, grudges or revenge. People who do so out of their own will are going to have to answer for what they do.
that question is impossible to answer because different catholics have different views. Some fear Islam, some hate Islam, some hope that all the Muslims will convert to Catholicism.
Most Syrians hate Israelis and "Zionists". Beyond that, who Syrians hate depends on the person. Some people hate Iran and Iranian proxies like Hezbollah. Some people hate the US and US allies in the Middle East. Some people hate theocrats and some hate secularists.
Hatred is against all God religions including Islam.
Some people think that Islam is a bad place. Some people think that Islam is just another place.
