Logically, there is only one method to eliminate islamist insurgents: eliminate islam.

I dare anyone to debate the logic of this point.

There's no logic in it, so :shrug:

There are plenty of historical antecedents for the effectiveness of what he's suggesting. The "kill everybody who doesn't quit with the bullshit" route, is a pretty common solution historically. I think it's more viable to argue that to choose it is to be on the wrong side of history (the side of force and power.)

It may be effective but the statement is false.

Eliminating Islam will (by definition) eliminate Islamist insurgents; it is sufficient. It is not necessary, however, so his claim fails. And there's no logic there, it's just a claim.

Equally valid response: redefine the word 'insurgent' to include 'does not follow or acknowledge the existence of Islam" and you've eliminated Islamist insurgents.
