This includes members of other sects of the same faith, other cultures, other religions, women, and other races.
In Western countries, while there are extremist groups, they are for the most part allowed to practice thier beliefs freely. In the West, only when one group's actions cause harm to others, do we have conflict, and never in the proportions or extent of what comes from the Middle East.
So, to answer the original question of what do these people want...
They want to kill everyone who isn't like them, and then live in a world of thier design.
