...often, we regard work simply as a means to a later goal of leisure, and we view leisure hours as intrinsically more valuable than work hours.

...will agree with the theory that the target is Islam, not terrorists. If we ask Saudi Arabia to change its religious beliefs, maybe we should ask a few fundamentalist groups in the U.S. to alter theirs too.
