“Apparently he’s also a devout Christian...”
Like Jim Jomes, Jimmy Swaggert and Tammy Faye Baker, just to name three out of a cast of thousands?
For evidence, I’d rather see the calculation of the strength of the explosive, and a record of American overflights of the area over the last year and the aircraft involved.
Granted, to be a Christian is to acknowledge oneself as a sinner in need of God's grace. Identifying someone as a Christian doesn't mean believing they are infallible in their aims or methods. But when someone has confidence in a all-powerful loving God with a moral standard, there's never any excuse to violate that standard "in order to serve Him better." That includes rushing to judgment or promoting a lie to serve some agenda.
