This is true but in this war against islam terrorists it does not matter whose right it will only matter whose left.

No, it does matter very much who's right. This is a war of ideas. We have to fight in such a way as to empower the majority of Arab peoples, the ones who are now trying to send their children to the West for a better future, to fight the battle of the Moderns vs the Ancients* in the Arab lands. Only when they win, will we win.

Europe fought this battle of ideas in the 17th century. The question was, had the knowledge of the modern philosophers surpassed the knowledge of the ancient philosophers? The Moderns won.
