Al Qaeda and many other Jihadists, are ruling with nationalism when it comes to ruling in war affairs. That's why they pick the broad view.
It might makes more sense because the world is nationalist. Even since ancient times.
"An eye for an eye" is the Islamic way of punishment. The nationalist way, is "any eye for an eye". Al-Qaeda fights under the second banner. That's not Islamic at all in my opinion.
in the French revolution for example; all the rich were taken for the sins of the royalty.
If the allies targeted Nazi party members only; WW2 might have taken a different path.
If Al-Qaeda targeted soldiers only, instead of civilians, maybe they weren't so despised today.
Maybe if America didn't punish all the Japanese for the sins of the emperor and his fans, nuclear bomb use would've been avoided.
