They only want to get rid of the westernized society in THEIR Islamic countries. And, by the way, they are not highly organized. And the argument you have for the Koran, I believe, is exaggerated. It's more of the idea of getting rid of all fake muslims; those who claim to be muslim, but are not... corrupt muslims, in otherwords. That is who they believe they can kill with justice in the name of Islam.
