Would you be surprised if militant Islamists, and the terrorism that they advocate, had something to do with women's boobs?

Sayyid Qutb, an Egyptian, was a writer, poet, philosopher etc who was the intellectual leader of the Islamic Brotherhood, and the the guy who inspired the founders and leaders of Al Qaeda.
He had lots of complaints about the West (he visited the US in the late 40s,). He especially had a problem with women.
A quote from Qtub:
…the American girl is well acquainted with her body’s seductive capacity. She knows it lies in the face, and in expressive eyes, and thirsty lips. She knows seductiveness lies in the round breasts, the full buttocks, and in the shapely thighs, sleek legsā€”and she shows all this and does not hide it. [Qtub never married]
Wouldn’t it be something if 9/11, the Fort Hood murders, the Underwear Bomber, etc. had something to do with tits?
