I don't think it's a reaction I just think now we know about it. The middle east has always been the middle east; they weren't sitting around in circles talking about Allah and playing cards fifty years ago. I think the idea that our secularism is what causes them to act the way they do is just absurd.

I think the real problem is religious fanatics who want to be in control of Jerusalem and who hate our friendship with Israel which doesn't help their situation. If we didn't care about Israel and left them out to fend for themselves do you think they'd still be angry with us and Ahmadinejad would be saying "death to america!" because we have panty commercials? We're not the most free country and there's far more secular countries than us but we're the ones who would jump through hoops for Israel, not Holland.
