You read the koran?

For many people their main exposure to it is "islamic terror attack", or "church becomes islamic mosque" or "islamic terrorist group beheads person"

The reason Islam is hated is mostly Muslims

Don’t fall for the bait people

What bait? It's a genuine question

because its an abrahamic religion with a fictional book telling you how reality is and how you should behave, perhaps get your own identity instead of letting some story book dictate your soul

Because religion is opposed to human enlightenment and reason, and Islam is the least enlightened religion. It is ignorant of contemporary problems, backward and expansionistic.

Anyone who says I can't eat a bacon cheeseburger isn't a friend of mine.

They don't tolerate other religion or the faithless.

Child brides and killing everyone who isn't Muslim, is a start as to why I despise this degenerate religion.

they are stuck in a long past

I live in an area that was completely white in the early 60's and is now completely Muslim.
Generally speaking, the people who don't like it find it threatening because it is so different from what they know.

Many of them walk around in religious clothing all the time - hat, thobe, sandals, beard. Many of the women wear full niqab. They don't drink alcohol or go the pub (completely alien to a British person), they tend to nominate and vote for their own political candidates, rather than mainstream politics. So if an area is Muslim en masse, they will nominate a Muslim MP from that community, either independent or Labour, and that MP will consider primarily Muslim interests in their political life, eg Gaza. At least, that is the perception of many xenophobic Brits.
The events perpetrated by extremists and evil people, which all Muslims end up sharing the blame for - 9/11, 7/11, Rotherham sex trafficking.

Many of the areligious people in Britain think that all religion is brainwashing and self-delusion. They don't respect it and think that religious people are an eccentric oddity to be tolerated. Therefore it's easy for them to believe that anyone who follows one will lose their ability to consent or think for themselves.
Many Muslims here, even today are extremely defensive and guarded about their religion because they know that culturally they are not accepted or respected like a "good old Englishman" is; they always have to prove themselves first. Some of them accept that and are very good citizens - you can go to a Muslim area and the streets will always be clean, there will be no gangs hanging around on the corner and they are generally very quiet.
When our next door neighbours moved in, they brought us a tin of shortbread and a card with a picture of Buckingham Palace on it 😂

In the 60's and 70's there was a pass-time for working class English youths called "♥♥♥♥-Bashing" where you drive around looking for Muslims and beat them up, or you phone a taxi and beat up the driver. Many of them haven't forgotten those kinds of incidents, even if they want to.
I respect them because I think the ones who really understand their religion, are brave enough to follow it regardless of what anyone else thinks, and they really do look after each other, they are very community minded when it comes to things like financing projects and businesses and giving to charity. I think a lot of British people find that threatening too because it challenges the choices they have made, and it's easier to label someone who gives all their money to Gaza and wears a white sheet instead of Nike as a "crazy person" instead of asking why don't I try generosity and modesty in their own life.

Yeah in the UK i think all the migrants and muslims delude themselves into thinking 'everyones against me', which makes them act out sometimes and give themselves a bad rep, everyone needs to just chill out

"I live in an area that was completely white in the early 60's and is now completely Muslim." You've been conquered...
