But first things first. They have to prevent the West from getting a foothold in the middle east by establishing a second democracy. Democracy will kill their changes of establishing islamic states.

They killed over 200 civilians in Spain and injured countless more. Then in one huge collective act of pussihood, the Spanish people voted out their government.
I am willing to bet more than a few new suicide bombers signed on the dotted line on hearing this news.

Ty, you are incredibly naive about the goals of Arab muslims. It is not just the so-called extremist Arab muslims that hate the west. Arab Muslims moderates and extremists alike feel emasculated by what happened centuries ago and blame the West for this.
Moderates and extremists alike are still pissed about what happened in Spain centuries ago and are willing to see what AQ did to the Spanish as divine retribution and a turning of the tide in the favor of islam.
