Yes they are wrong when they say that Islamic Terrorism threatens the existence of Western Civilization. Its a battle they can never win, but they can do a lot of damage a long the way.
I see this as kind of like the hype of the AIDS crisis. Heterosexual were never as threatened as homosexuals by AIDS. But the PC community said that we are just as threatened to prompt action. Similarly, to highlight the crisis of Israel (whose very existence is threatened by these guys) they are trying convince everyone that the west's entire existence is threatened to push people into action.
If we ever do a lose a city or a significant portion of our population, then the war will be over. The US population will demand an end to the conflict by any means necessary.
If you think about it, it is much more important to the citizens of the middle east than us that the war on terror goes well for us. I don't think they understand that we live in a democracy (meaning if the people want to, they can tell the government what to do) and we have the capability of exterminating them. Once the majority of the American people lose their patience it will be really dangerous to live in a country that produces terrorists.
