If I wanted to destroy Islam it would be the easiest thing to do. All I would have to do is to encourage the delusions of extremists in the Muslim community and Islam would self destruct from the inside. It does little good to attack from the outside because all that does is to reinforce determination to resist. It is far better to poison the mind of an enemy so that he sees enemys where ever he looks and will view himself with a narcistic self preoccupation totally out of relation to reality. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.
