Dear oh dear, Anita. This is the second time I've had to pursue you to correct your English. You know, as a journalist, English should be your forte. You are a bit like a bad plumber who does not know how to put a pipe together properly.
I quote: Now a controversial author herself, it is a toss up between who is the more hated – him or her – by the Islamic world.
Who is the more hated - he or she - by the Islamic world.
In ordinary English, when you ask a question, you ask: Who is she, not who is her?
Similarly, when one speaks of persons in the objective, one does not speak of them as subjective but as objective.
For instance: She was waiting for Bill and I. This is the new way of speaking [and writing]. If you removed Bill from the sentence, would you say: She was waiting for I?
Pay attention to our language, Anita. You are just a little too cute with the grammar.
