America is the promise land of peace, prosperity, and the joyful pursuit of making money hand over fist. Anything that counters that facade must be, shall be, and will be suppressed to the fullest extent of the American Governments ability.
We have a reputation to maintain and anything that may tarnish that reputation to the world is a threat to our economy. Having Muslims killing Jews in America and calling that terrorism is counter-productive because then the world will no longer see us as that "peaceful haven, a harbor of safety," but rather as another battleground where Muslims kill Jews for Allah.
And for our image, that will never do!
