Why negative perspective towards Islam?

The people who always want to have negative perspective towards Islam on the basis of their shallow knowledge about Islam & their courage to show Islam & Islamic personalities, including Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), (Ma'azAllah) as uncivilized people & their practices as barbarian & inhuman, it should be beneficial for them to read Michael Hart's (A Jewish American & a university professor) book "The 100" about 100 most influential people of the world. He(Hart) Placed Prophet Muhammad(Peace Be Upon Him) on first number & His(Peace Be Upon Him)'s second Caliph Umar Ibn Al Khattab(RadiAllahu Ta'ala Anhu) on 52^nd number. Should it not be enough for the people to change their unjust vision towards Islam who always want to stick to it.
