What so many libs fail to realize is: they would be the FIRST ones the terrorists would behead if given the chance. So-called "progressive values" will not endear liberals to the Muslims. The images of American culture displayed by Hollywood immorality is part of what the terrorists hate worst about us. The other part obviously, is our level of freedom in the West, which liberals use as license for all sorts of disgusting behavior.
Muslims don't hate capitalism or so-called "imperialism". It's the excesses of "progressive values" which keeps getting us attacked.
A few years back an American humanitarian who worked among poorer Palestinian Arabs made a comment to me. She said, "Those progressive American liberals who come over, who I have to work with, are always a problem. They idealistically think that they are coming to help people of similar values. In fact, Palestinian society is riddled with some of the worst sexism, racism, and classism you can encounter"
