#1 It is overly optimistic: it doesn't account for two factors.

First: satellites and other technologies work both ways. Arab countries hold a high number of satellite channels (surprising, reative to their GDP) in order to send the "message" to their communities in Western countries. This is an important factor of non-assimilation contrarily to previous generations of immigrants they are not cut-off of their countries of origin. And most of these channels are sources of islamism/pan-arabism (two faces of the same coin)

Second: The betrayal by the MSM is a heavy burden in a war where the battle of ideas is crucial. Whenever an Islamo-nut goes on TV with rants about Iraki or Afghan deaths we should have the reporter ask him "Did you care about Saddam's massacres", "Did you care about the children blown by Al Quaida in Irak" or "I don't remember hearing you when the Taliban masscred the Hazaras at Herat" instead what we have is multiculti dhimmitude.
We should be churning revised versions of the Cold War movies where our valiant heroes (eventually assisted by a ring of non-islamo-nut pakistanis or afghans) unravel the sinister plot of some mad mullah, we should have discussions on TV about how Islam empoverished nations and about its blood-thirstiness. We should be doing our best for Muislims rejecting fundamentalism (and in a second phase Islam itself). Instead we get that modern version of the Protocols of th Sages of Sion called Fahrenheit 911 or abject material for high schoolers telling kids "Show how Jihad was a reaction to the Crusades". In opther words we are producing material aimed at making them hate us.
