>Christians believe in free will, which give us the power to do things which are contrary to the will of God/Allah, the power to sin. Thus, if something happens, we don't say, "it is God's will." > Saying "It is God's will" is very common in other religions/cultures. I know hindus and Sikhs who use that expression. Another variation is "whatever happens, happens for good". I don't know whether their are equivalents in christianity. I don't think it explains suicide bombers. The true nature of our dichotomy is that even if one believes in determinism, one has to exercise one's will on a daily basis.
