I reject the idea of "an Islamic conspiracy to destroy the West." Conspiracy implies some central agent making plans, which does not exist.Reader comment on item: Academic Malfeasance: Another Mangling of Views about Islam Submitted by Kirby, Aug 5, 2017 at 20:17 So, Muslim incursions into India, Europe, and Africa in the first thirteen centuries of Islam's existence at the cost of tens of millions slaughtered and enslaved, and today's heinous persecution of Jews and Christians in Muslim controlled nations - is not a conspiracy? A religious calling perhaps would be more to your liking?

I am saying there is no coordinating body planning out this conspiracy. Yes, the Muslim Brotherhood wants to do this, but so does the Saudi monarchy, the Islamic Republic of Iran, ISIS, Erdoğan, and many others. I.e., no central command. Reader comments (19) on this item
