This is something I've never figured out.

It's apparently no secret that the Muslims want us dead. But I haven't 
got the vaguest idea *why*.

(And of course, "the Muslims want us dead" is such a wild exaggeration 
that nobody should ever take such utter nonsense seriously.)

The best I can come up with is "somebody out there is really good at 
convincing impressionable young people to kill themselves in a way which 
they find profitable". Which isn't an especially convincing argument...
