The big picture is that they attack us because they disagree with us and they see our influence spreading.
We believe that everybody should live in a just and democratic society, with protected human rights, and a reasonable shot at prosperity. We believe the world would be a much safer and peaceful place if everybody had these things.
The Islamic radicals disagree sharply. They believe the whole world should be under Islamic law and that they are duty bound to fight for this end. They are encouraged by our weakness.
They speak of our troops on their soil, the existence of Israel, etc, but these are only irritants they keep bringing up in order to motivate people. Their visions are much larger than that.
