No, you miss the point (I don't see how, it's still right there on top of your coward head); the Christian fundamentalists who bombed abortion clinics targeted those they perceived were DOING wrong. They didn't target INNOCENT people, although sometimes innocent people get caught in the crossfire (Timothy McVeigh, for example). Islamic fundamentalists often TARGET innocent people specifically. It's in the same ballpark as persecuting the victims of rape.
(Just arguing your logic here)
In this case, the target was not perceived as innocent, they were seen as doing something wrong and immoral. Neither the children or the teachers would have been considered innocent by the poisoner.
Most of the time, any given hothead trying to use their religion as a weapon will write off innocents as a cost to the greater good. Be it a christian bombing an abortion clinic or a muslim bombing a nightclub. Their goal is the same: Enforce their interpretation of their religion's tenants on others. Collateral be damned.
Also, many a religion doesn't hold to the notion of innocence. It's hard to apply any logic where everyone is perpetually guilty.
