Rob Haren at Foreign Policy thinks so.
The 'Clash of Civilizations' theory espoused by Huntington remains alive but can it be avoided? The author in the link seems to think so if American leaders strike the right tone. Or is it a fait accompli as Huntington suggested?

Politifact confirmed Sean Hannity's charge that Obama's refusal to use the phrase "war on terrorism" opting instead for "war against Al-Queda."
So what? I think the President is right to be cautious about the language he conveys.
Linking the fact he doesn't use words the right would use about terrorism (which really is a vague term) doesn't mean he's weak on the fight against it.
I guess time will tell if the Cheney/Rumsfeld/Bush method of defending national interests and security will prevail or falter against Obama/Clinton/Biden.

But then he goes and says something stupid like I love you...to the world.
...Barack Obama has done something much worse: By breaking the tradition of not criticizing your own country abroad, Barack Obama has undermined this nation in an attempt to be popular with Europeans and the Muslim world -- and to perceived as a "reasonable" American.
Strike a right chord with the world...but always remember sage advice from one Vito Corleone
Never go against the family.
Or in this case, country.
