Unfortunately, the goal of religious fundamentalists - especially theocratic fascists, who form a political ideology around their faith - is solely to impose their "version" of their religion over all societies, and their fervent belief is that anything which turns non-believers against "their people" is indeed advancing that goal. That's not to say that there's not still a warped moral code at work which may prevent them from attacking certain targets, but it's more likely to be based on some obscure line written on a parchment a thousand years ago than any practical consideration, I'm afraid.
I think security's going to be beefed up big-time for next summer, and sadly, it's going to be a necessary precaution after these tragic events.
