Yep, You're right. We should not get political/philosophical tunnel vision. We should not solidly take sides, for when we do, we are liable to take part in our side's evil.
Remember, though, that, on a practical note, we should not ignore the beliefs of terrorists either. From what I gather, Islam poses a high risk of violent extremism. If I am not mistaken, the Koran directly encourages violent jihad. I don't think the Bible comes quite to the same level when it comes to encouraging violent behavior. If terrorists did not have extremist beliefs relating to politics/religion, they probably would not be terrorists. We should try not to hurt the innocent which happen to share common, relevant ideas with terrorists (e.g., religion) because, as it has been said: It is better to let the guilty go free then to harm the innocent. However, we should not be PC and stick our heads in the sand.
