First, I'm not sure that anyone is arguing that Islam must be destroyed lest it destroy our way of life. I would say that some might take that position with respect to religion generally, if they weren't particularly nuanced. One might also take a modified version of that view with respect to Islamism; namely that a clash with that particular political ideology is inevitable as its adherents can't be negotiated with. Modified to one of those two views that I think people actually hold, they can be disputed. You can't dispute a self-righteous manichean attitude like Crumpy-Gunt's; it's an instant death sentence to rational discourse.
Very, very, very well-said.
