My whole point is that if 20% of christians said they support attacks like this then they deserve to be asked.
You said it was racist, I don't see how it is.

And my point is that we should hold those with abhorrent ideological views responsible for the consequences of them.
It could be either racism or bigotry, or both. I personally believe that anyone who would create and post such a sign in their front yard unabashedly suffers from both.

A sign calling out people of a religious faith isn't racist, islam isn't a race.
I am merely saying hypothetically, its reasonable to ask a group in which 20% support it their feelings on a terrorist attack, and if they're sorry. Do you think there is a point at which a significant percentage of a population supporting a thing before they become somewhat complicit?
I think there are situations where EIT is justified, I fully accept that if that is wrong I'm complicit. I'm simply saying it might not be unreasonable to do the same for muslims.
