It would help if someone could tell me WHY the Muslims hated us to
begin with.

It's the central tenet of the religion; Submit & Recite.
And we're not the only ones they hate. They're at war in China, India,
SEAsia, Indonesia, the Filipines, East Africa, North Africa, all through the
former SovUn.
They are a warrior religion, founded by a bandit and raider, and they've
been at war with the world for 1300 years.
