They could and they perceived that doing this was their duty as pious Muslims.
Historically, there was the "Right to Conquest" which was a pervasive idea in political thought. The idea was that it was natural for any country or state to grow and control more territory as it grew stronger. This allowed weaker states to dissolve in place of ones that were better run, a bureaucratic version of "survival of the fittest". The "Right to Conquest" prevailed as the dominant theory of nation-building until the mid-1800s when people started bringing up the concept of self-sovereignty and ethnic nationalism, which held the idea that people should govern themselves even if they are not the most powerful in the world. This view of state sovereignty has become dominant today and the Right to Conquest is seen as incorrect.
Since the Caliphates existed well within the Right to Conquest Period, the Caliphs did not have to assert a reason to conquer neighboring territories in Southwest Asia. It was their natural prerogative.

Why did saladin re-take Jerusalem?
----------------------- Jerusalem was holy to Muslims, as well as to Christians and Jews, so to give up Jerusalem would have meant denying Muslims the opportunity to perform pilgrimages to Jerusalem, since Christian rulers never accepted Muslim rights. Contrary to modern opinion, the Arabic empire was not at that time entirely Muslim, but included a very substantial proportion of Christians and Jews, although the ruling classes were Muslim. Generally, Christians and Jews were permitted to visit Jerusalem without hindrance. To have given up Jerusalem would also have provided the crusading armies a well fortified base from which to attack the Arab empire. Even the cities that remained in Christian hands provided bases for attacks until the Christian armies were finally driven from the Holy Land, but Jerusalem was more easily defended, and would extend the reach of the Christian armies right into the heart of the Arabian empire.
