There are a lot of people and organizations that want to establish Sharia laws across the planet (effectively establishing a global caliphate) and they're not shy about it, look at what happened to Egypt. Once the MB got their election they tried to get their grubby hands into every nook and cranny of government and industry, and it was all orchestrated to cement another Islamic republic in the region.
They see Western decadence as an affront to their way of life, and there are a lot of absolutists that have no interest in integration or cooperation. Their interests lie in world domination, and not the American kind of economic domination -- medieval domination with slavery or death planned for non-Muslims.
