Ignoring the Palpatine like effort and abilities I'd need for such a plot for a moment.

Is the world market so frail that a religion will suffice in destroying it?
I smell something burning, hope it's just my brains.
They're only dropping peppermints and daisy-chains
   So stuff my nose with garlic
   Coat my eyes with butter
   Fill my ears with silver
   Stick my legs in plaster
   Tell me lies about Vietnam.

I wouldn't assume that you alone would be capable of such a things. Obviously you are not.

The attacks on 9-11-01 had a devastating impact on the economy. Have you forgotten? Another such attack, or worse, could seriously cripple our economy. Do you deny this?

If 19 guys with pocket knives and a few flying lessons are all it takes to cripple massive economies and bring the world market to its knees, then I'd say the problem is not with the religion of Islam, but with the market itself.

============================================
Anyone can deny this, as it is extremely deniable.

It did NOT have a 'devastating effect' on the economy. It did cause a temporarily slump of about 18 months on the stock market. I ask you: did you buy fewer groceries during the week after 9-11? Did you buy laundry soap, did you continue in your job, did you refuse to buy shoes or medicine or  other necessities? Did you close your bank accounts and put the money under the mattress?

Within the following year it was used as a pretext to start a bogus war and to allow many of your freedoms to be taken away. Now you can be snooped on without a warrant, for example.

Then I'd say you were a fool who is proving my point.

===============================================
I'd say that that requires an explanation.

Ad weren't you one of those clowns who thought National Security Adviser Condi Rice, under whose glorious tenure 9-11 happened, should somehow be honored with a still higher office?

That could use some explanation, as well.

No offense.

No, you don't.  You are not making sense.

I suppose that the relitive strength of the worlds third most popular religion and the worlds most popular economy would be within the same order of magnitude .

Ignoreing the apple and orange diffrence , of course.

But frail things do kill strong things all the time , how many great creatures have been felled by tiny worms?
