That is why it is important to fight people and not a book. The desire to follow Mein Kampf becomes less acute after you have been soundly defeated and punished.

- More efficient to fight a single book, than a million mullahs?

I guess both need to be fought. Both are hand in glove. The (existing) book creates and empowers the believer and the believer perpetuates the book. Removing all copies of the book without changing the believers is pointless because the book exists are a narrative among the believers. Removing all the believers while the book remains in multiple copies is a difficult goal.
This is not a "this one" or "that one" choice. Both need attention.
