I reject the idea of "an Islamic conspiracy to destroy the West." Conspiracy implies some central agent making plans, which does not exist.

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?
The actions and behind the scenes ministrations of the MB, CAIR, ISNA, and the college campus group MSA in the US don't have any under the table motives? The destruction of our Constitution, laws, and culture to be substituted by Sharia are a fabrication?
Roughly 20 years ago, the various Muslim groups in the US got together and formed a pact to all these goals I mentioned above. They wrote quite a long paper on it. This doesn't constitute a "central agent making plans"? And, of course, this line of thinking doesn't extend to Europe, Australia, Canada, etc. where these things are advancing in these directions swimmingly?
I know, Daniel, that you are far more versed in all this than I, so I'm puzzled by your frequent proclivity towards giving Islam a positive benefit of the doubt. It's especially puzzling for me when taking their law of abrogation into account.
I'm only asking that you educate me in something I'm obviously missing here.
