Also, take away philosophy and there's no United States (constitutions and social systems are based on political philosophies).

Social systems are based on people interacting with each other.

Terrorists don't kill people because they want to be evil, they kill people because they think we are evil.

I don't think that is a good explanation of why terrorists do what they do.
After people do what they do they justify it with some sort of philosophical explanation but the philosophical explation doesn't cause the action.
If philosophical explanations would cause action you would see people who study ethics behave more ethically than people who don't.

Every reasoned action that you take is the result of philosophizing (aka reasoning) about what you should do.

No. Actions are the sum of external effects like the ideas floating around, peer pressure, authority and your genes.
