Because there are over 1,000,000,000 ( I used the 0s for effect ) Muslims that believe in a religion in which their scriptures literally tell them to chop off heads of "infidels." This is backed by history and it's happening now. They are not psychopaths. They are of sound-mind and they are killing because they believe it to be correct.
Oh, and that's not even getting into genital mutilation, honor killings, female discrimination and legal rape.
I really hate being right....
