Sure, having freedoms and how you exercise them are different things.
When those of contrary mythos express personal liberty in each other's presence, conflict ensues. Why we all can't just 'get along'.
Right, hence the desire of people in other countries to have a system which allows them to resolve such conflicts without having a dictator simply impose his will.
Suicide bombers were just exercising freedom of religion.
You have a very peculiar defenition of freedom. Personally, I'll take John Paul II's:"Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought."
Different people have different definitions of freedom, based upon their personal belief system.

Some find absolutely no problem with dictators and/or kings, at all (some in the US, even). Once again, this goes back to one's personal belief system.

My point exactly. For example: the 9/11 Jihadists committed murder/suicide because, in their particular spiritual belief system, they were doing the right thing. They were simply following the teachings of Islam. Doing exactly what their conscience told them they ought to do. Only Catholics feel obligated to follow the Pope's guidance in spiritual matters. Some people's spiritual leaders exhort them to do things that we in America consider unspeakable atrocities.
