What makes him a Christian fanatic/extremists?
He believes Christianity invented morals and was the primary engine of moral development and civilization across the entirety of the human species. He believes that Christian colonialism and the specific activities of Christian colonists were "mostly good." He stereotypes and generalizes everything that isn't Christian as evil, backwards, etc. These views are textbook fundamentalism/extremism.
In addition, his entire background history includes actions that only an extremist would take (I threw in some general, non-Christian extremism for good measure):
He was a real prig, even at Dartmouth, because he thought he was doing everyone a favor, by publishing the names and personal correspondences of members of the Gay Student Aliance in The Dartmouth Review, which was editor of. The controversy was not that he outed gays who were in the closet, or that he frequently referred to gays as "Sodomites", but that he or people close to him spied on these students, and stole some of their notes to each other, some from their dorm rooms. D'Souza denied allegations that the notes were stolen. When The Nation published an article claiming that D'Souza had stolen the correspondence, D'Souza wrote asking for a retraction, calling the piece "lies from the loony left", and sending articles which he said would clear his name. But bizarrely, the articles he included showed that the claim was true - they included a piece written under his byline that featured excerpts from gay students' correspondence.
...
If that wasn't bad enough, under his editorship, the Dartmouth Review also featured attacks on feminists and Women's Studies. One article, written by Keeney Jones, which D'Souza allowed to be published, said:
"The question is not whether women should be educated at Dartmouth, but whether they should be educated at all."
...
D'Souza criticized the minority admissions policy of the school, as well as printed racist cartoons and articles that were pretty much what one would expect from a KKK newspaper. They once published an article "for black students" that was written in "ebonics", and suggested that black students were illiterate. In another article, William S. Cole, a black music teacher at Dartmouth, was described as "looking like a used brillo pad". The school's vice president of public affairs, at the time, said of the paper, that it had become "outwardly destructive and irresponsible."

yeah I don't really conceive of him as a christian extremist as much as a general right wing apparatchik

Watch his debates on religion and read his apologetics for colonialism (the kind in which America did not engage, and so not part of the usual right wing talking points) if you need convincing that he's a Christian fundamentalist. In one of the debates, he literally says that Christianity is the only real civilizing force in human history and that it invented the morals that we all share now.
ah yeah I haven't seen his religious debates (except a clip or two.)
and yeah he first came onto my radar as a colonial apologist. As an aside though about America not engaging in colonial ventures; I don't think you can really separate celebration of anglo/european imperialism all that much from right wing views on global culture and foreign policy... I mean when Gingrich calls Obama a Kenyan anti-colonialist I don't think he's identifying Obama in line with america's anti-colonial heritage
