Because "he" didn't refer to Muslims in general, but to Osama bin Laden.

Actually, he referred to Osman Atto. More specifically, he referred to Osman Atto’s God, the same God worshipped by Muslims in general. A lot of people consider “my god is bigger than your god” to be fighting words, and we really don’t need to be fighting more people than we’re fighting already.

Problem is, preaching situational morality tends to leave you without anything at all to actually practice

Attack us, and we will kill you. Attack our friends, and we will help them. Threaten our interests, and we will oppose you in a manner consistent with the nature of the threat.
