Because all terrorists are Islamic. I'll have to ask Dad when my Irish grandfather (who apparently did freelance work for the IRA during the Troubles) converted and if that caused problems with his Catholicism. (I can even think of plenty of modern domestic terrorists if my semi-historical example isn't appropriate.)
Stepping on the Koran offends me, despite my atheism, because it's bloody stupid and useless and offensive to assume terrorist = Muslim and disrupting two million residents' (plus visitors') ability to fly on a goddamn plane is worth the dubious assumption that terrorists can't plan around this when they already plan on not looking like a conservative Muslim.
