Americans claim to fight for freedom for people around the world, but when we, traditional societies look at them, we don’t see freedom. We see sin and excess. We look at people like Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, Michael Moore, Bill Moyers– selfish people who put their own desires for money and celebrity ahead of morality.

Freedom to us is totally opposite from the traditional sense of reciprocal obligation. We believe it equals sexual license– and even perversion!

You know, Muslim countries aren’t the only ones who look on Americans with repulsion. Pious people of all religions are enraged by the way liberals abuse freedom. They blacken its very name. Their vulgar, licentious popular culture, that idolizes homosexuality, loose women, birth control, no-fault divorce– its shameless Godlessness? That disgusts traditionalists around the world. You’ve got to understand: the culture wars at home and the global war on terror aren’t separate problems. It is only by curtailing the left’s attacks on religion and the family that they can convince moderate Muslims to turn their backs on their own extremists. They must return to righteous rule.
