Here is the easiest way to understand it. ISIS and its affiliates have one singular goal. To establish an Islamic Caliphate that's underlying philosophy and foundation is rooted off STRICT adherence to Sharia Law. We already know what that looks like. We had the Taliban in Afghanistan but were a milder version if that doesn't scare you.

Sharia is to ISIS as Democracy is to the West. ISIS however does not distinguish between Christianity and the West even in the most secular Of Nations. To them anyone who doesn't live by Sharia, (muslims included) is an infidel which according to Sharia invokes a whole set of laws to justify actions against those peoples which we all know and read about. Simply put it is a 100% clash of cultural ideas. Where one side views it as Total War (if your familiar with that term) and the other views it as simply a need to understand and tolerate.
