The US-led West and right-wing Islamic fundamentalism, from which al-Qaeda emerged, formed an uneasy alliance against the Soviet Union and other largely left-wing governments during the Cold War. Fundamentalist Muslims yelling about dreadful atheist communists and uniting all Muslims to battle the atheists seemed to be the greatest response to secularist Muslims who were emulating Russia and talking about nationalizing the oil for all Arabs.
There was no longer a shared foe binding the West and radical Islamism together as a result of the conclusion of the Soviet-Afghan war and the Soviet Union itself. At the same time, globalization and free market capitalism advanced like never before, penetrating the Islamic world where it led to conflicts and tainted regimes (many of which strived to be secular while settling with Western support, for lack of another benefactor).
At that point, hardline Muslims' perceptions of the West began to deteriorate. All that was left of them after losing their worth as an ally against atheistic communists were their extravagant lifestyle, wealth, corruption, and irreligion, as well as their false Muslim proxies for rulers and their warriors who were still imprisoned in Saudi Arabia for whatever reason.
Al-Qaeda and other organizations might be seen as a reactionary response to capitalist globalization. The Middle East's corruption and inequality have strengthened militant Muslims who offer a path back to those who don't feel so good, much like how rising inequality in America has actually strengthened borderline fascists who advocate for returning the lower strata of society to what they believed they were fifty years ago.
