If you are aiming to eradicate a culture you don't need to understand the culture, you just need to kill (or change) all it's adherents

As the USSR showed, it's sometimes useful to know their culture to assist its implosion. ;)

This is true, however, the culture in the USSR had something of value to contribute to the world (the people's belief system was basically good but the leadership and government system was corrupt). I see no value whatsoever in the islamic culture (the people's belief system is evil and the leadership is evil). The islamics can either abandon the culture and let it die or die with it. I don't need to understand someone to drop a bomb on them.
