'God bless America-May God be with these American Soldiers', is what Former U.S. President George W. Bush said, And what every American president says in their speaches.
Hell..that expression is written on your paper currancy.
I think it safe to say that the U.S. endorses God to back their military adventures.
Your answer is correct> NO, it does not make it right.
No more right than OBL,using his anti-west propaganda to attack the U.S.
However, in both of these cases..Religion did not pull triggers, drop bombs, crash airplanes..people did.
So..if you state that OBL used religion to further his cause, you also have to state that G.Bush used/ the U.S. uses religion to further his/their cause.
For the record, I think both of the camps described here by me are full of *****.
