Don't think they hate Islam, just the way the religion is being used for political purposes by some people and the lack of condemnation within the religion for those that twist it to their purposes. As far as hate crimes go in the US, the jews are way more victimised than Islam. Did a quick search of stats to see who the real hate crime victims are in the US.

Religious bias
Of the 1,552 victims of an anti-religion hate crime:

■67.0 percent were victims of an offender’s anti-Jewish bias.
■12.7 percent were victims of an anti-Islamic bias.
