Such a facile understanding.

You are taking the wrong approach to the problem. We have to identify the source of the problem....the motivation for hate and intolerance.
The TARGET of a hate crime or terrorism is much instructive than the motivation for the terrorism.
One of the biggest problem in the world of Islam right now is LGBT rights. Should we obscure the fact that Islam is the motivation when gays get thrown off a roof in Iran, just because the gay person is a Muslim?
When a Muslim dies due to Islamic ideology, they are no less a victim of the ideology.
Personally, I think this argument is shameful.
