Why do they hate us so badly? It's beyond comprehension.

Is it? Two choices.
Choice A:
US support of the Shah of Iran.
Encouraging the Iraq/Iran war as a means of balancing power within the region.
Support of the Israelis vis a vis the Palestinians.
US involvement in Afghanistan; we helped train them in the noble battle of overcoming the evil empire.
Economic sanctions in Iraq, starving children of Iraq, etc.

Think back a bit and we could probably come up with some more. Or ....

Choice B:
We can take the "political" choice...they hate us for our freedoms and our financial success.

Kashmir has lost 5,000 people per year for the last 12 years in war/terrorism. Does the US give a ....?

The IRA has had a steady supply of money coming out of US based sources. [Boston and New York mostly as I recall.]

The US wishes to protect financial safe havens. Fairly important in the operation of criminal activities, including terrorism.

The US doesn't seem to care too much about the Small Arms treaty. Keep feeding weapons and instability throughout the third world.

We can look at history, choose choice A. or B. and decide what to do next.

History tells us we pick Choice B. and repeat variations of Choice A.
