Terrorist routinely use the phrase to seek assistance from God in their jihad. It happens every day.

So when you combine that with the fact that he was committing a terrorist attack it isn't insane to associate him saying that with Muslim Jihad.

To take your "God help me" example further.

If Christian violence groups started killing abortion doctors, homosexuals, and adulterers and in every attack they said "God help me" or "by the will of God" then those phrases you be associated with the attacks.

Now after years of that and thousands of attacks you saw someone in an abortion clinic pull out a handgun and say "God help me" or "by the will of God" it wouldn't be biased to reach the conclusion he is going to start a terrorist attack. He likely isn't asking God to help him clean the weapon properly.
