Worst case scenario for the religious is to have to come up with explanations are to why something appears to be so obviously vile and yet is part of the good God. The default is usually - it will all be made right in heaven.
The astonishing part is that followers of one religion can see this in another but not in their own. I am yet to find a Christian that will defend 9/11, for example yet within weeks you find Christian arguments saying something to the effect of "Christian Martyrs died for their beliefs - therefore there must be something to it."
Those Christian martyrs were not committing mass murder on the innocent. I'm yet to find an atheist who defends 9/11, that is unless you're the first.
