I don't think that's all that big a deal. Sure we supported him...as well as Bin Laden. But people are people. They do their own things and act their own way.
If a child who is brought up in a good home with great parents decides to become a mass-murderer, do you expect the parents to back his efforts? Conversely, if a child grows up in a bad home with bad parents, are the parents' to blame?
I think not. Personal accountability is the key and it is lacking in many places. You don't need religion to know what is right or wrong. I could care less if the President of the United States goes to worship EVERY DAY. Just because a person goes to church services does not make him or her a religious person. We, as humans--individuals, are imperfect.
