While this seems basically on the mark, it's troubling to place those of us who reject relativism on the same side as the Islamofascists.

Even though they reject the relativism of the West, they also reject the moral truth that it is wrong to intentionally target civilians with acts of war.

In that sense, they too are moral relativists because they have wholly embraced ends-justifies-means thinking. "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter," is a relativist bromide that you can imagine hearing from al-Qaeda operative just as easily as from a Berkley professor.
