Christian states did exactly the same thing. Because religious beliefs and politics aren't the same thing, and need to be kept separate for that reason. So that's no reason to condemn Islam.
Religious beliefs manifest in politics in ways so intertwined I'm not sure how you could possibly separate them. As people believe, so they will act. Even the "political motives" ascribed to terrorists have a religious cause, such as the establishment of Israel, the continued policies of Israel and the end-timer Christian support for Israel. I'm not sure how you think the two, religious beliefs and politics, could possibly be separate.
