It is hard to separate the dogma from the people who believe the dogma, but also necessary. People are born into cultures and systems with no choice. Hating Islam is different than hating those who practice it. Very different.
I am an anti-theist, but I have many Muslim friends. As the Christians say, hate the sin, not the sinner. While condescending, it does apply. We live in a planet dominated by a species that is irrational and rational depending on context. Hate is a waste of energy, and discrimination does not solve the many collective issues that need to be solved.
