#1 Future historians may consider Islam (unless it wins, in which case they'll be no historians) to be the factor that saved civilization.

#2 The secular hedonists are winning in an insidious way. Their God is "political correctness." Fighting the tyranny of PC is nearly as difficult as rooting out stateless terrorists. Political correctness is rotting Western civilization from the inside out. If islam wins out, there will, indeed, be no historians and civilization will return to somewhere around the 7th century. You will either be islamic or subservient to islam. Culture and its symbols will be erased just as happened when the Taliban blew up the Bhuddists statues in Afghanistan.
