Elaine R., Palawan: "Most people have the wrong idea about Islamist terrorists. These people are not primarily religiously, but culturally motivated. They fight against their native culture being erased by Western capitalist, competition-driven, and feminist agendas. So, actually, Islamists and anti-globalization activists fight for the same values: to preserve cultures in other countries that are different from America. Therefore, the US military and their ideological cohorts in NGOs and humanitarian organizations should be pulled out or driven home."
