You already have.

My reference was to the fact that the right has consistently relied on religion and appeals to blind hatred versus actual reasons for human behavior, just like you did in your claim as to the basis for terrorist behavior. Liberals, on the other hand, have attempted to understand and explain the reasons underlying human behavior since the Enlightenment--just like me along with other liberals on this board.

You may not agree with the reasons we present, but we almost always put reasons in our posts.

I hope people will read this piece critically instead of relying on the emotive technique he employs that make us feel like he makes good points, but do little in terms of presenting evidence in support of them.

Edit: Took a bunch of crap out of my post because it didn't really address the meat of what I was attempting to relay to Lebell.
