The islamic terrorist will tell you it is not what we do or our policies in the world, it is the fact that we are not muslims. The fact that we exist as people who have not submitted to islam is considered an outrage in the eyes of many many muslims. Our very being is unacceptable , because we do not follow the " prophet" mohammed. They want us dead or to convert. They have been very clear on this.

Yes, some muslim will say they are angry due to our policy of supporting the only country in the middle east that respects human right, Israel. At times muslims have blamed terrorist acts as a response to our dealings with Israel. However, even if Israel were to be emptied of Jews the muslims would still hate us because we do not follow the quran. We don't bow down and pray to allah , so for that some muslims hate us and want us dead.

The only response is to be intollerant with those who are intollerant with us.

This is going to be tough because some people will falsely call you a racist.
