So why do so many people get pissed off at me when I suggest we help them do just that?

I guess, unless you just enjoy the idea of killing people, it doesn't make any sense. At least not in any way that would help solve the problem and not make it worse. The killing of Muslims, even extremists, by Western governments, only radicalizes more and more formerly moderate Muslims, who then become extremists. We're seeing this happen in Iraq right now. As I said earlier in this thread, you can't solve the problem by trying to kill it (wipe it out). You have to correct the underlying problems that are creating the symptom.

The other problem with saying that is if you and others aren't careful to specify that you don't consider all Muslims extremists, which is an assumption that many people do make about Muslims.

Risky Business, you don't really think of women as people, do you? (Just a port in the storm, right?)
