Islamic Fundamentalism may not have per se "global supremacy" goals, but would never accept the legitimacy of a foreign (or domestic) government other than a "Sharia"-style government. The Koran declaims that is the only kind of legitimate government for a Muslim. So, that means that, at some point in the fullness of time, it would be their religious duty to impose a Sharia regime everywhere that Muslims live. To that extent, it is a conflict between completely incompatible ideas.
Just as most non-Muslim people are unwilling to live (as second class citizens) under a Sharia regime, most Islamic fundamentalists have the same distaste for a democratic regime. It is quite foolish of the US and its allies to expect to export (or impose) a democratic government to a Muslim country and expect that government, and the people who participate in it, to have a broad base of popular support.
