In Obama's view, the United States is a neo-colonial power occupying Iraq and Afghanistan, D'Souza says. "He sees the Muslims fighting against America as freedom fighters. This gives him a somewhat romanticized view of Islamic radicals."

In his eyes, they may be "good guys trying to liberate Egypt from this horrible dictator Mubarak, supported by us, the rogue nation," D'Souza says.
