Islam also mandates a high birth rate and social conditions that enforce it. That isn't "green". Muslim industrial production and GDP is horribly low and maybe less energy intensive. Yet at 6-10 kids per woman, the birth rate more than overrides any benefits of lower consumption per peon.

The over-grazing of the Sahara, too, because of the adulation of the nomadic grazing lifestyle is also overwhelmingly Muslim cause. Same problem for the Middle East deserts and Central Asian ones - the marginal areas saw native Christian and Zoroastrian farmers killed, Muslim migratory herders moving in.

They are like locust. They move in and devour everything until nothing is left.

Large scale pesticides are required to remedy the situation.
