"Your point on mobilising an army alike to WW2 hold little water, firstly who would they target exactly? There is not a single political presentation of Islam that exists today."

Really? Apparently you deny that Iran and Saudi Arabia exist? Taking out those two cesspools would cripple Islam beyond our wildest dreams.

"But I think it should be mentioned that all governments who professed Islam in its purest were taken down by the west, the Taliban professed it, and we know what happened to them, the Union of Islamic Courts professed it, they then were taken down through proxy war and direct military intervention, Al-Qaeda openly professes it, and so we have the "war on terror"."

And why do you think that is? Could it perhaps have to do with the fact that Islam promotes global terrorism and tries to dominate the world through mass migration and their oil reserves?

"So I think people should stop wasting their time and energy in discussing the matter of elimination and eradication of Islam. So long as there is only one person who exists on earth who declares "I bear witness that there is no God worthy of worship but ALLAH (swt) and Muhammad (pbuh) is His Messenger, Islam will remain and you would have failed."

Wrong. If we took out (with nukes) the so-called "holy sites" of Mecca and Medina, if we took out Riyadh, Tehran, Amman, and other major population centers and seized the oil (which we gave the the technology to extract in the first place), then Islam would have nothing. It would be a powerless minor cult. They would have no money to finance their terror, they would have no "holy sites", they would have their military capabilities wiped out. It would be the end ...of Islam.
