You'd be wrong there.* The Muslim world doesn't like our lax sexual morals, but as long as we stay on our side of the pond it's not something they'll get that worked up about. What angers them are legitimate moral grievances: exploitative "inherited from kings and politicians" capitalism, and political undermining of their states.
In no way am I condoning their actions - but it is a desire for freedom, not a hatred of it, which drives them.
I'm currently involved in editing a book on the matter, www.tremblethedevil.com if you're interested.
*Little known fact, the night before the 9/11 attack the terrorists all sat around in a hotel room jacking off to porn they'd ordered on the TV. Seriously.

You might check the 9/11 Commission Report. Sorry that I don't have a more specific cite.
Edit: I reviewed chapter 7, and it doesn't appear to make the claim.
