To avoid losing power.

The simple way for the West to avoid losing power in the mid of the current century:

When the West can't compete with the moderate Islamists in winning the hearts and minds of the Muslim world it can just become friend of the enemy(moderate Islamists) and can dominate the world for another 2-3 centuries with the same power as now or a little less instead of losing the power. This will go with the true ideals of the West - democracy, freedom of speech, etc.

Thanx
