I know there is some anti-Islam feelings in India due to Pakistan being on their border and the Kasmir region, but it sounds like he wants to start another 'crusade' to destroy Islam (or change their society).
I'm not going to say that there aren't a few things I would like seen changed in that part of the world, but I know that I could travel there in the 'good' Islamic countries and not have a problem. So, I doubt it is the religion, it is some countries interpretation that I have a problem with. But, as an outsider, I have no say in the matter. The other Islamic countries need to lead the way and prove that they can lead great lives and still allow some greater freedoms.
The biggest threat to the Islam are MTV, the Internet, and porn. Economic (oil) isolation would be another one, but that isn't happening (not for my lack of trying). Also seeing how the rest of the world lives might help push some of them to change their views on some of the practices. But, Christianity is having a harder time modernizing than Islam is so far.
