Here's an idea: go into a Mosque wearing your dirtiest boots. Take a nap on their prayer rugs. Have some guns with you. Shoot a couple people. Shoot one of them, a wounded man, right in the head on camera for an international news agency. That's a GREAT way to make sure the Islamic world feels respected by US troops in Iraq.
Islam is worthy of contempt, as are all religions. But the way to bring about the (desirable) end of Islam is through reason (seasoned with a little mockery) and encouragement of internal secularization. Defiling a mosque is exactly, exactly, exactly the right thing to do to make sure that we have several hundred years more 'holy' war.
