just because they're all probably islamic extremists doesn't mean they're all working towards the same goal or even the same direction. The egyptians might be trying the that old idea that if you cause the government to crack down hard enough, the people rise up or just hoping to kill israeli tourists, the british ones were probably just angry, the Iraqi ones want different things depending on which of the 100 odd groups you want to mention, the Indonesian ones seem to want a pan islamic state, or indpendence, or the government to fuck off or something, the Thai ones want independence from Thailand and the government to stop killing them, the Pakistani ones want the taliban back and to generally break out the oldschool fire and brimstone stuff on infidels, the indian ones want to kill hindus over disputed religious sites and shit, that's just off the top of my head.
