“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.

Jim Jones was a cult leader, not a Christian. I don't know anything about Baker, but Jimmy Swaggart has spent decades since repenting quietly and humbly doing a lot of good overseas since he ruined his US ministry in the 80's (I only stumbled across this last year). You aren't being honest with yourself when you rely on this sort of bigotry to justify your close-mindedness.

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.
