I did not read all of the letter, so I'll appologize in the event someone already brought up the following issue.
D'Souza is probably right about fundamentalist muslims hating gays, gay marriages, prostitution, and a bunch of other things; which seems not that much different from the hatred spewed by christian evangelicals and their ilk here at home. However, if those values were the main reason for OBL to attack America, why did OBL not attack Holland, Belgium, Canada and other European countries where gays actually have the right to get married, and where prostitution is regulated, and many other, equally liberal values are respected?
Seems to me that D'Souza down deep actually wanted OBL to do his, and other fundamental religious conservatives' dirty work by attacking America. They couldn't have wished for a better strawman. Christian conservatives want to use liberal freedoms to impose their view of the world. I wonder why none of them have actually moved to any of those fundamentalist countries, instead of wishing all progressives here in America to disappear?
