Malaysia is a country that is officially Islamic. They only serve alcohol to foreigners. I am sure other countries have official religions for their governments especially in the mideast though there may be different factions like there are different Christian denominations.

Most Christians I know do not care for the televangelists at all. Neither are they all of one political persuasion.

When bombings are done due to intelligence reports of a top Al Qaida official hiding out somewhere, the weapons today have pin point accuracy. Sometimes there is collateral damage just as there is death by friendly fire. Neither is the case of someone intentionally murdering innocents.
