c / c++ : is it end of era ?

I started programming with c. Lot of projects are being done in C++. We
have to move in THE C++.
I read around 3 - 4 books (including Faqs, stroustrup) on c++. What i
found in most of the book is that they criticize c language and c
programmer. And they silently run away from good feature of C.
They have sentence like , "you have to unlearn c to learn C++".

is it the end of C era ?
Stroustrup and writers of Faqs are gurus of technologies. These people
are commenting on C language.
should we believe them?
somewhere it is demoralizing for c programmer.

I just wanted to know what other people thinks on this .
