It's not exactly our "lack of religion" as much as it is our *way of life* (namely, gluttonous consumerism and complacency while we fuel the wars of other nations)
@peej: Actually, Rocketboy is correct, as they view our cultural choices (like this, what they see in movies and especially TV, blah blah) as obvious lack a religion in our lives, as the majority of our media/culture goes against major religious rules/dogma/whatever.
They're right, essentially, but really need another outlet...
Like, a terrorist gadget blog, or something?
They could have Appl..I mean america vs. microso.. i mean islam flame wars on teh interwebz, as opposed to, in like, deserts and caves.
Yes, it's their perception of our free wheeling, amoral, wrong(or no) religion, culture of gluttony vs. their strict moral codes.
It's not just religion, but, and yes, I'm going to quote GW, because it's true (but not something that can easily be explained in a soundbite), they hate our freedoms. Our freedom to have sex with a woman who is showing skin. Our freedom to do what we want when we want. Including spending money on a piece of plastic that makes mildly amusing sounds.
Because to the fundamental mind, that's the biggest threat of them all. (See also, Focus on the Family. At least they don't blow anything up on a regular basis.)

I actually think it's something with our religions, or supposed lack thereof.
But no, I definitely like your idea better.

Fill caves with servers, not bombs!
"Fill caves with servers, not bombs!"
Why? So they can attack our defense networks everyday the way China does? No thanks.
