I am also inclined to believe this. In fact, my suspicion is that Nick Berg may have gone so far as to consider converting to Islam. The subversive, activist Left has made common cause with the radical Islamists for no other reason than the old truism: the enemy of my enemy is my friend (albeit a temporary friend).
Although their reasons are different, both want to destroy the United States and Western civilization. Should they ever succeed, they would turn on each other. But until then...
Interesting.

Words of profound wisdom. If we are looking for a motive for Berg's doings, that's where the answer lies. His activities were not commercial, they were idealogical.
