If we don't face reality and deal with evil for what it is Islam will win. I don't think Islam has a formula for success in the modern world. They won't win (assuming you mean worldwide Islam), but their worst factions are likely to be blight on humanity for a long time to come.

No they don't, but they don't want a 'modern' world - they see it as anthema and corrupt.
"They won't win (assuming you mean worldwide Islam), but their worst factions are likely to be blight on humanity for a long time to come."
I don't share your optimism - if killing a mere 200 or so 3 days before an election in a major Western nation causes the government to make radical changes to policy what would the death of 20,000 do?
Set of a bomb loaded with Sarin gas in the NYC subway system at 8 am or so and you could have just that.
See the problem is the leaders of these totalitarian Islamic dictatorships have no one to answer to except "Allah" himself - our President does not enjoy that kind of freedom of action. He will be held accountable, rightly or wrongly for such an attack. We have already seen the left's penchant for asking 'What did we do to deserve this'.
