I don't know of any religious or military group in the West that promotes a Christian or Jewish world by means of the destruction of the Islamic world. I would argue that this scenario is not an abstract concept.

Regarding China, I couldn't agree more. 2 completely different societies managing to co-exist in peace.
To be completely honest, there are plenty of fringe Christian groups that do advocate global racial purity, such as the Christian Identity "movement." I don't have numbers to back this up, but I don't think that ALL Muslim fundamentalists want to destroy the western world. Much of the anger against the West comes from our perceived incursions into the Middle East.
