The U.S. has little, if any, credibility in the Muslim world. Most Muslims see Al-Qaeda as the U.S.'s most reliable ally precisely because they kill more Muslims than Westerners. The U.S. is more worried about revolutionary organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah because they are legitimate and have earned the respect of both Shia & Sunni Muslims, along with Christians, Jews, and secular people of various philosophies and beliefs. Most of all, they are effective.
