The terrorists may well do to Islam what the constructionists do to catholicism. I have heard such ridiculous "logic" from devout catholics that it has pushed me away from the religion in disgust. "Logic" like:

God made the world with "time" built in. This is used to explain the huge gaps in the bible timeline.

or how about this "logic"...

Dinosaurs never really existed. God "planted" the bones to show everyone the non-believers. This is used to explain the timeline and why the Bible never mentions dinosaurs.

You don't even want to know how they attempt to explain Noah's Ark, especially my questions as to how they managed to feed all the creatures for 40 days and nights, or how all the animals got dispersed across the oceans again, or how the ark would have sunk like a stone from the weight, or where all the water came from/went...

I note that religion and belief are VERY different. Belief is the individuals relationship with God, while religion is man's attempt to control other's thoughts and actions.
