Does this mean the terrorists have won?

[Keshik]

The terrorist "winning" makes me wonder. What do the Islamofascists consider victory, enough to make them cease using terror? It's probably an unachievable end, whatever it may be.

Their goal has been stated to be global Islamic domination.

You sure? Let's ignore the fact that the Islamic terrorist movement is incredibly diverse with various goals. But take the simple one, the undisputable main enemy here - Al-Qaeda. Closest one I could find that was sourced was the fatwa declared by Osama himself:

[T]he ruling to kill the Americans and their allies - civilians and military — is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it, in order to liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque (in Jerusalem) and the holy mosque (in Makka) from their grip, and in order for their armies to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim. This is in accordance with the words of Almighty Allah, 'and fight the pagans all together as they fight you all together,' and 'fight them until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah'

That's not global domination, just "only" repulsion of the infidels from the Islamic lands and creation of a caliphate of the *Islamic* world by force.
