#1 I'd like #2; but I'm betting on #6.

#2 I also tend toward #6. Although my reasoning is different to the authors, or rather there is an additional factor that almost no one takes into consideration.

Globalization has created massive economic interdependence. Almost all the economic activity in the world depends to a greater or lesser on trade with other countries. Interrupt that flow of trade and it would be an enormous economic shock. There is nothing comparable in history.

The problem is not trade per se, but trade with places outside your political control. Were the shock to occur, the solution is to bring the places you depend on under your political control, i.e. invade them.

#3 #6 is definately the desired end-state of Islam, no doubting that fact.

#4 Be it Secular- andor Faith-based Totalitarianism, Centralism, and Scientifism, the glitch for both Lefty Secularists and Radical Islam, i.e. Faith/God-based-Socialists, is that any innovation is viewed as an illegal-immoral reaction and challenge to the status quo or traditional order. This is why conquering and suborning America + Western democracies + World is at best a temporary solution to Global Socialists in any form. For the PC Left, the WOT is a "Clash of Ideologies" disguised as a "Clash of Civilizations" - for Radical Islam, is the opposite i.e. Tony Blair's "Clash of [about] Civilization" disguised as a "Clash of Ideologies". The final agenda for both camps entails the de facto defeat or destruction of the hyper-power USA, and upon thence the voluntary or forced imposition of either a post-USA Global Secular Socialist State, or a Global Faith-based Socialist = Theocratic Islamist/Jihadist State. Secularism would be absolute and eternal, as would Jihadism. Iff not per se destroyed, the USA under any form of Socialist OWG and World Order would just be a weak, anti-sovereign regional nation or global province amongst many others. THe CHILDREN FEED THE MOTHER, THE MANY FEED THE FEW, THE SLAVES-PEONS FEED THE HORDE - eeeeeerrrrrrr, meant GOVERNING-RULING WORLD COUNCIL OR PARTY. To no one's surprise, or shouldn't be, and be it the Commies or Radical intellectuals, 200 Milyuhn or more Americans = 5.8Bilyuhn of world's 6.0+Bilyuhn = 90%-plus of world's population have been deemed by the Rampaging Bandit-Barbarian Horde as unnecessary economic/production units whom have to be voluntarily or forcibly removed from the lists and from available inventory. Some extremists are arguing for a world population as low as 500,000 -thusly, within the narrow scope of Amer and global holocaust, the GWOT is also a war to see whom gets to be one of the lucky few who gets to temporarily survive a while longer than most, at least until the next rampage or real-time SURVIVOR TV show.
