I'm not so sure about that. An awful lot of them apparently really

That's not true of "them" any more than the typical stereotype of
Americans is. Most Muslims aren't politically active enough to have
an opinion one way or the other, same as with most Americans.
Ironically, the muslim nation that has the most strongly anti-US
leadership, namely Iran, is also one of the nations with the most
strongly pro-US population.
And the nation that holds us in the greatest contempt -- Saudi Arabia
-- is our greatest ally in the region. Go figure. The Middle East is
full of little ironies like that.
