There is a correction possible for the Latin pedants among us, but that isn't it:

"Islam delendum est"

wikipedia.org: Carthago delenda est

This is an obvious play on the phrase Cato the Elder used in the Senate during the Punic Wars: Carthago delenda est. Carthage must be destroyed.

So, our friend ought to say Islam delenda est.
