Habib says hi and he wants the West to support him

"Habib added that he had expected more support in the West, but had been disappointed by Liberal and Leftist groups that were reluctant to rally to his cause, in one case even labelling him an ‘extremist’ for his views on religion."  I don't know what he wants from the West exactly.  Another "liberation war" or what?  And why would an atheist requires support?  I know tons of atheists in the Arab world and none are clamoring for "Western support".
