Why do some people hate Jehovah's Witnesses?

Jesus himself said that true Christians would become "objects of hatred by all people on account of my name." (Mt. 10:22)

Some Jehovah's Witnesses have been persecuted because of their political neutrality. They heed Jesus' words to become "no part of the world, just as (Jesus was) no part of the world." (John 17:16) "We must obey God as ruler rather than men." -Acts 5:29.
