It is all about political, media and financial influence in the USA. If you work as a team, coordinate efforts and use mass media to present the picture you want to present then you can make them think whatever you want them to think.
I grew up watching American TV shows and movies. Germans were always presented as cold ruthless psychopaths and these days movies and TV represent Muslims as cold ruthless psychopaths.
Now which group of movie-making, TV producing people would want to present firstly Germans and, more recently, Muslims in that way?
