Peace-loving, naturally-harmonious Islamofascists

Glenn Reynolds writes about voyeuristic idealization as the reason "Why, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, does popular culture portray primitives as peace-loving folk living in harmony with nature, as opposed to rapacious and brutal civilization?" Indeed. Beyond Marie Antoinette playing peasant, we see Michael Moore playing insurgent, and the mainstream media treating terrorism as the inevitable reaction to our attempt to bring democracy to the heart of the Middle East. Those peace-loving, naturally-harmonious Islamofascists get plenty of support from popular culture.
