ELI5:What are Islamic Terrorist groups trying to do?
gpt
In 2004, Bin Laden released a tape to Al-Jazeera where he laid out the purpose of the 9/11 attacks, and the organization’s goals.

“We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah,” 

The theory behind 9/11 was to try to get America to engage in long expensive wars to bankrupt the country and remove it as a super power.
