Then there are the far right-wingers who blame terrorism on America because of the television programs and movies that they consider decadent. These right-wingers state that radical Islamists had to wage war to protect their delicate culture.

He's pretty much nailed how the left is acting, but he's wrong about the "right-wingers" blaming terrorism on America. I've NEVER heard anyone from the right blame anyone but the "Religion of Peace" for terrorism. I guess this nut felt like he had to blame the right since he was blaming the left too.

The author is Mary laney...

From the article: "Then there are the far right-wingers who blame terrorism on America because of the television programs and movies that they consider decadent."

Many of us on the right, myself included, believe Islamic fundamentalists hate America partly because of what they see as our absence of values. But I (for one) don't consider this the reason why we're at war. The author is somewhat accurate, yet mostly wrong in this statement. Yet the overall premise of the article has it right; we're at war because Islam wants to conquer the World and impose its religion on everyone.

Slightly different perspective where how I can see this applying, with regard to our decadent society - a missionary to Dearborn MI spoke at our church last week and she said this, that because most Muslims live in countries were Islam is the official state religion, they look at America the same way. Since America is called a "Christian" country, most Muslims think that CHRISTIANITY sanctions the ridiculous behavior that they see in our various forms of media, the fact that our mainline denominations are allowing gay clergy, etc. They believe that American culture is the personification of Christianity, so they hate both entities and see them both as a threat to Islam.

Does that give them justification to murder? Of course not - more like an excuse. But for missionaries here and elsewhere trying to reach Muslims, it sure puts up a big misconception that has to be broken down.
