There is a shred of truth in it. Note: a shred. It's actually quite closely related to the self-defined socially progressive Islamophobics' argument. (Yeah, not looking at any regular posters here. -_- )
The secret to winning elections in the Middle East right now, if there were free elections everywhere, would be to be economically populist, socially mildly progressive (ie, progressive compared to what they've got, conservative compared to what we've got), and very very anti-American and anti-Israel.
