Firstly, "the Americans" didn't make it; a select group of Americans did and most Americans think it is a really piss-poor critique of Islam and is probably a better example of how to not make a film. However, most Americans do defend the Freedom of Speech right that protects the creation of such speech.
As to why the individuals who made this film made it, there are numerous possibilities. Some could be the continuing mistreatment of minorities in Muslim countries, some could be responding to the belligerence with which Muslims respond to any issue concerning Mohammed, some could just have thought the idea was funny (twisted sense of humor, but it takes all kinds), etc. There is no way to get into the mind of a person and the film's creator(s) have not released a public statement as to their motives.
As to why Americans support the right to make this movie, regardless of its crass and incendiary nature, is the idea that no viewpoint unless it actively incites violence (such as ordering people to bomb buildings, not angering people). Americans believe that no idea or virtue can be beyond the callous scrutiny of parody or mockery and that includes cherished faiths of which Islam is just another one. This confuses Arabs who believe that freedom of speech should be suspended whenever Islam is discussed (but strangely they have no issue with belittling other religions, including other sects of Islam).

This is an ignorant question; the simple answer is that Muslims do not fear Americans.
The video was launched on YouTube in July of 2012
Why should the Muslims beat Americans while many Muslms are Americans. Let tolerance,if not love, prevail in the world.
The Muslims are not against all Americans. They hate the policies of America for hatching conspiracies against the Muslims, bombing their cities and mercilessly murduring millions of Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq and Lybia. Wll, a goat never loves its butcher. Many Muslims live in America, with Americans.
You are talking apples and oranges here. Americans are a nationality that identify with dozens of religions. About 1% (give or take .5% depending on the survey) of Americans are Muslims. Muslims as a religion make up 1.5 Billion people in the world and is second only to Christianity. And the God of the Muslims is the same God as the Christians and Jews believe in. All three share common roots.
the muslims adopted and passed on the numerical system of india
There are Muslim Americans you know.
The video that insulted Islam was the trailer for the alleged film "the Innocence of Muslims".
