Nope, I think you read far too much into what I said. I *would* say that those philosophies did/do desire our destruction (whether they can or not depends on us), so why should I countenance a philosophy which underlies them and gave them a basis for their existence?

You can't very well maintain that the philosophy "gave them their basis for existence", while denying that your're claiming they would never have existed without it.

while denying that your're claiming they would never have existed without it.

And when did I claim either of those things?
