I know I'm late in replying (life) but I'd say it's because most people's experience of hearing criticism of Islam in the west is it coming from assholes of the white supremacist variety. They are overwhelmingly the loudest and most proliferate critics of Islam, so people start associating the two -- and unfortunately that assumption is correct more times than not.

It's a given considering most western leftists are fairly ignorant on the topic of Islam and have a tendency to diametrically oppose everything bigots claim. Now throw in assholes that will exploit those facts to push their fucked up beliefs.
