And this would be the case even more so, if it wasn't an isolated case. What if it got to the point where there were suicide bombings all the time, in many different countries all in the name of Christianity. I would be extremely concerned and would be critical of Christians who supported it. Would that be bigoted on my part?

We were not attacked on 9-11 because we are infidels who are not Islamic. We were attacked because the terrorists didn't like our political policies in the middle east. We were not attacked in the name of religion. We were attacked in the name of politics. Their belief in their god gave them strength.
Tim McVeigh attacked a federal building in the name of politics. His belief in his god gave him strength.
What is the problem - the religion, or the hate the terrorist, domestic or foreign, has for our federal government? It is not the religion.
