Why do Muslims want to kill Americans?

Answer 2

It is not true that Muslims want to kill Americans. Muslims could be against American policies in the Middle East, Iraq, and Afghanistan. However, it should not be interpreted as they are against the American people. The Americans are like all peoples of the world; the wide majority are good people and some minorities could be different.

Muslim extremists want to kill Americans to demonstrate their anger for American support for Israel.
