The book was highly controversial and met with significant criticism from both the left and the right:
He claims the Left's "aggressive global campaign" to promote secularism, sexual licentiousness, and anti-traditional values (such as gay marriage and abortion) repulses traditional religious societies.
He rejects the idea that 9/11 was caused by U.S. foreign policy (like support for Israel or troops in Saudi Arabia), instead blaming the export of "depraved" pop culture from Hollywood and universities.
Some conservative commentators found the argument single-minded or unconvincing, noting it ignored legitimate geopolitical grievances. Book Details Publisher: Doubleday / Broadway Books Publication Date: January 16, 2007
