The problem is they think on a different timescale than the average westerner. We often see political change in years, or decades - they often think back 100's or over 1000 years to the examples of islamic expansion and territorial conquest of vast tracks of territory across the globe after they crawled out of the Hijaz.
What you see them attempting to do in the US now, using ikhwan fronts and methods, is marking territory in the way a dog would pee on a tree. Once they can establish a history of "muslim settlement" and of compliance to sharia in a geographical location, it (in their eyes) justifies the next stage - acquisition of physical territory.
In decades or centuries to come, they will point to the areas where muslims lived, practiced sharia, or shared a keg of camels p*$$, and use it to justify land that was claimed, and this it would be an obligation to wage a violent jihad over.
You already see this second phase starting in EUrabia - muslim only areas, no-go zones for the kuffar.
After thru their own long history, WWII, the threat of the Soviet Empire and nuclear annihilation, I would guess the average EUrabian did not think islamic immigration (even just 2-5% muslims) would allow them to be dictated to by believers of a barbaric 7th Century ideology.
