While al Qaeda and Daesh share the common goal of establishing a {{wpl|Worldwide Caliphate}}, al Qaeda has taken a long view of the problem. It regards the United States as the main impediment to acheiving the end result.  Daesh views apostates and infidels in their midst - the Shi'a, Saudis, secular Sunnis, Christians and Jews - as the problem to be removed ''before'' Allah will reward them with the restoration of Mecca and the ''hajj'' under the Caliph.<ref><small>"Throughout the 1400 years of history...no one has ever been successfully appointed to the Caliphate, and had his appointment legitimized by the ''bay'ah'', or oath of allegience...without such a person having had '''either actual control, or the capacity to exercise control''' [emp added], over the ''Hejaz'' in general and the ''Haramayn'' in particular. The office of the Caliphate, and authority over the ''Haramayn'', have always been inseparably linked in the religio-political consciousness of the ''Ummah''. ¶The inseparable link also had a foundation in the ''Shariah'' in so far as the ''hajj'' was an institution equally binding on all the members of the ''Ummah'',  and ''hajj'' required physical travel to the ''Hejaz''.

In other words, they planned their strategy to secularize Islam and so to reduce Muslims to the godless European way of life. ¶If Western civilization was ever to succeed in finally defeating and controlling Islam, and incorporating the entire world of Islam into the new secular international order that had been established by the West, the strategy required that ''Hejaz'' should be subjected to Western influence in order that the Caliphate might be weekend and eventually eliminated.

{{quotebox|The leaders of the Western world have already specifically identified Islam as the most powerful remaining threat to their way of life since the fall of communism, and have proclaimed this belief to their people. How often are the citizens of Western nations told that Muslims are fanatical terrorists, who have spread Islam across the world by the sword; and, how seldom do they hear the wondrous Truths of Islam, of the Mercy and Compassion of Allah? Let there be no doubt, the goal of the leaders of the Western world is to destroy the power of Islam.
