Al Qaeda and Islamic State opposed globalization primarily because they viewed it as a threat to their vision of a pure Islamic society. They believed that globalization would lead to the spread of Western values and ideals, which they saw as corrupt and immoral. Additionally, they were opposed to the economic and cultural dominance of Western nations, as they felt it marginalized and oppressed Muslim communities around the world. Furthermore, they believed that globalization facilitated the spread of Western influence and military intervention in Muslim-majority countries, which they viewed as a form of imperialism and an attack on Islam.
