Fair enough. But I do think that Muslims should be less concerned with who is blaming them, and be more concerned about their own Mothers shaming those who live amongst them and who express resentment towards other people.
Abdu'l-Baha' taught that the greatest educators of mankind are Mothers. If you grew up in my family (or my friends families), your mother would have shamed you for even thinking of things that are morally unacceptable. If I even spit on the sidewalk, my Mother would not look the other way as so many foolish mothers would do today. My Mother would say, "THAT IS DISGUSTING." and make me pick it up with a napkin.
When I was a child, I heard people use racial words. If I even dared to utter a racial word, or make fun of someone who was fat, skinny, ugly, not quick witted, etc... my Mother would both shame me for putting others down.

Muslim mothers need to shame their own sons who would even dare express hatred towards other people. If the co-conspirators of those suicide bombers are found, their Mothers should make them pick up the bloody parts with napkins. SHAME ON THEM for making other Muslims look bad and for putting other Muslims lives in the path of reckless retaliation!
Children grow up to be adults.
"…when they themselves become mothers"
And just for those who are not Baha’i, yet may be reading this, even though the Master only mentions mothers educating their children, and mothers and children studying "whatever will nurture the health of the body"; that is not to mean that fathers are not supposed to teach their children.
