The long-term goals of Islamofacists are basically the same of "moderate" Muslims. They both want Islamic rule and societies dominated by Islamic law. The Muslim moderates say they don't support Islamic facism, but at the same time a recent poll in the UK revealed that about 50% of Muslims in the UK would like to see sharia law there. 29% of young middle-eastern Muslims living in the U.S. admitted to thinking suicide bombings on civilians is okay, and that is only the percentage who would admit to it.
Islamofacism is STATE SPONSORED. In spite of sitting on top a shitload of of arguably the world's most valuable natural resource, many Muslims live in squalor in their countries with little opportunity to improve their plight. To make matters worse, they don't have non-stop sports to entertain them, they won't expose themselves to American movies and they're not out drinking at bars to pacify them. They don't have too many avenues to blow off steam, so they turn to religious fanaticism, get together and wash their feet and bums and talk about how much they hate anyone who doesn't believe in Islam. The wackiest of these fruitcakes are driven to jihadic violence.
I think the Middle East sees the writing on the wall already, and their future isn't rosy. We're already working on alternative fuel sources and someday either the world won't need ME oil anymore, or they will run out. Either way, they are fucked when this happens. At that point, they will have two options: start kissing tourists asses and build casinos, or take over other resources through conquest. They aren't about to compromise their 12th century value system and code of conduct, so it looks like they will have to give conquest a try. Unfortunately, it may be necessary to turn the ME into glass someday.
