Some might argue that they are doing so because the greatest threat to their existence is the freedom for people to choose or even an ordered and civilized society where women can go to school or show their face in public.
Every virtue of western civilization that has helped sustain peace, economic development and growth in western countries is a direct threat to the existence of Islamic extremists.
Al Queda wants what exactly? To be left alone? Is that what Al Queda stands for?
You live in a dream world where you have supplanted your own utopian ideas of how things should be in place of the reality of how things are.
Here is a time tested fact... Peace causes war. Peace does not beget peace. Anytime throughout the history of civilization when a country, nation, empire or civilization has shown it is not willing to fight or defend itself... it has gotten rolled over by those seeking to climb one more rung up the heirarchal ladder of nations. Simple bands of unevolved savages have destroyed many empires who suddenly decided they did not have the stomach for war or did not recognize the need to defend themselves or maintain a defense.
