I think there are a few reasons that have kept both sides at loggerheads:
1) American government's misunderstanding of the region
2) Extremist culture in the Middle East; religious law governing countries is sometimes misused
3) Rash actions by American government despite chances of discussion; Iraq war an example;
4) Fundamentalists too powerful in Middle East and their narrow-mindedness causes frictions
5) Arab/regional obsession with Israel/Zionism
6) Culture shock between the two countries;
I won't say Americans are hated because practically everything related to technology has some or the other American origin; cars of Saudi are mostly American made for example.
It is a Love-Hate relationship which needs careful thinking.
The Arab world was wrong
The Arab world's shameful record on Iraq:
Beirut, Baghdad by Fouad Ajami, August 25, 2003, on the utter failure of the Arab intellectuals. - "We needn't apologize to the other Arabs about our presence there, and our aims for it. The custodians of Arab power, and the vast majority of the Arab political class, never saw or named the terrible cruelties of Saddam. A political culture that averts its gaze from mass graves and works itself into self-righteous hysteria over a foreign presence in an Arab country is a culture that has turned its back on political reason."
A few other reasons the USA is hated along with Israel is that many people in the Islamic world are religious bigots, they dont care how many muslems are killed as long as its muslems doing the killing, they could not care less that as many Jews lost their homes in Islamic countries as Palestinians did in Israel.
Another reasons is middle east is humiliated by the USA and Israel kicking *** from time to time. In polls far more Iraqis said they were humiliated by being defeated by the USA at the same time they said they were glad to be rid of Saddam.
Another reason the middle east hates the USA is they are humiliated is in spite of the fact they follow Allah and Americans are infidels that Muslems are according President Musharraf " the poorest, the most illiterate, the most backward, the most unhealthy, the most un-enlightened, the most deprived, and the weakest of all the human race,"
BBC News | SOUTH ASIA | Musharraf berates Muslim world
In a recent poll in Pakistan it said that Pakistans by about 75 percent favored Separation of women and men in the work place, and stoneing women to death for adulty and people that committed :Apostasy in Islam (Arabic: ارتداد, irtidād or ridda‎ is commonly defined as the rejection in word or deed of their former religion (apostasy) by a person who was previously a follower of Islam
and because of things like that Americans keep telling them they are crazy as bed bugs and that dont make them happy.
