In terms of fundamentalism, Saudi Arabia is practically ISIS, if ISIS made it and decided to buy off the West instead of fighting...flogging for bloggers, death penalty for adultery, Christianity, etc. If someone doesn't respect your culture but views it as an evil to be eradicated, at least within their borders, saying so seems perfectly democratic. In fact calling it like you see it, fact-based discussion are part of the essence of democracy.
People pointing fingers at the wrong folks for something like 9/11 for political purposes is more of a problem than offending a culture that doesn't respect our culture or basic human rights.
(Suing Saudi Arabia over 9/11 does seem like opening a can of worms, and there sure are a lot of anti-Muslim bigots in this country. But whataboutism should have a limit. You can tolerate a religion and still say some things people do in its name are effed up and not consistent with democracy and human values)
