We're a foreign body, like a splinter in their flesh, and they want to expel us.

Recall how many of the terrorist cells are in Europe. That they want to expel us, is the gripe the Islamists give out for everything that happened after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. The underlying gripe is the weakness of Muslim East that caused the fall of the Ottoman Empire, which, far from hastening, the Europeans had been propping up during most of the 19th century. The gripe is that the West is strong while they are weak, and their young people run to the West, where they don't know who they are anymore. Some of the them become Islamists on the rebound. Afterwards, many gripes can be found to explain why. There is never a shortage of political gripes.
