That would only work in the short term. Their ideology will not have changed one iota, since they will still be practicing Islam in a community that supports the very practices the West objects to. In time, the West might decline, and Dar al-Islam become more powerful, and, were that the case, war would be at our doorstep regardless of whether we wanted it or not.
