Interesting views in here. "Islamic Insurgency" I believe is a huge mislabel of the current war. In the eyes of the Muslims world wide, they view America and its allies as crusaders simply because they believe the US is against Muslims having any sort of power period.
There are few things need clarification:
What are you defining an "Islamic Insurgency" here ? Some stated that Saudi, Syria and Iran are the biggest threats to western society. WRONG! Syria and Saudi are considered relatively one of the most important allies to the US. The Arabs and Muslims in general are upset of really one thing alone, Israel.
You take Israel out of the equation, the Arabs will turn their hate and attention against their own leaders who have opressed them for many decades now. This is also the same reason why Arab leaders stand firm against Israel existance, because they know it is the only reason they are still in power.
Democracy really will not exist in the Middle East in its current western form because simply any democracy will produce a majority Islamic government (note: I'm not talking Islamic as in Iran, but nevertheless government base its rule on the principles of Islam). This what happened in Algeria mid-90s , Palestine recently, Turkey early 21st century and the local Saudi county elections.
The west should be focused on fighting Terrorism, not Islamism.
