It's a little underhanded IMO but at the end of the day kind of shocking how easy it is to convince an individual of religious faith to not only plant a bomb but detonate it. It illustrates the inherent issue in that there's a portion of the population that is easily influenced to commit crimes against mankind in the name of religion. I'm not sure how fair it is at the end of the day to arrest someone for committing a crime that was staged by the FBI but at the end of the day society is probably safer with those types of people off the streets so maybe life isn't always fair.

You don't need religion to coerce people into viciousness...see
Milgram experiment.
The right context...an air of authority (provided by a lab coat) and most people will act in a lethal manner
If you take people off the streets for their ability to be manipulated...you are going to need lots more prison spaces.
