In other words, there is no inherent reason why an Islamist regime must be at war with the West.

Excellent point. Needs to be made and remade.

Well, in reality, wouldn't you agree that there is no inherent reason why any government or regime must be at war with any other government or regime?

The desire to establish a universal ummah or world wide caliphate is incompatible with the modern world.

Islamism is beyond religion. It is ideology and a corruption of Islam. You are looking at a clash of ideologies. Neither modern Muslims or other modern folk can coexist with this ideology.

That's life. Get used to it.
