First of all, you've shifted the phrasing, not that I'd expect anything less. What the lead actually said was "They hate our policies", not "they hate us for our policies". Anyway, you can object on whatever grounds you want; they got polls, apparently mostly "Impressions of America 2004: How Arabs View America, How Arabs Learn about America," A Six Nation Survey Conducted by Zogby International, July 2004." showing Arab popular support for US policies in the areas you mention mostly down in the single digits, at least in Morrocco, Jordan, Lebanon, SA, and UAE. But going back to the beginning, I guess you, unlike the report authors, allegedly have expertise in "Islamic Studies, the Middle East, Foreign Policy, Terrorism, or anything else they are speculating on in this report.", so polls don't much matter, compared to the correct oracular voice. You just gotta believe.
