To answer your Q from earlier, this piece of news barely got any press from the MSM and as we can see the perpetrator has been released. I just have a hard time believing that if this was a Muslim that the MSM would have ignored it and that the accused would be walking the streets as we speak. There's a dangerous double standard.
I did a quick google search, the news story is all over the internet.
The bottom line is that he did not kill anybody (He only threatened), if he indeed killed some Muslims, he perhaps would make headline news.

The internet has some stories yes, but was this plastered all over every Fox News talk show for weeks on end? Did they bring a far-right extremist Christian minister on to agree with what this guy was doing in order to "show the world" that Christianity supports terror?
These are the kinds of things that happen whenever Muslims are brought to light for terror sponsoring.

Maybe liberal media will report the news. There are many of them.

You need to read the Quran seriously. Violence is justified and encouraged.
The fact that there are Muslim extremists/terrorist does not make Christian terrorism any more justifiable.
Nor the reverse, which is what the OP seems to be implying.
The reality is there are many, many, many instances of terrorism being committed in the name if Islam, but you have to search pretty hard to find terrorism being committed in the name of Christianity. Latching on to this one instance and saying "See! See! I told you they were just as bad!" shows a deep aversion to reality.
Everyone should read the Sunnah of Muhammad and the Quran; violence, jihad, murdering, raping, beheading, cutting hands, etc. are all justified there while it is NOT in the NT/Christianity/Jesus.
Yes, Mohammad was a conquerer, and a very efficient one at that. Shockingly, he was actually fairly progressive for his time. Yes, if his exact strategies were used today, it would be archaic, but that's hardly relevant.
And maybe individual violence isn't promoted in the Bible. But do you know what was introduced in the New Testament that had not previously been thought up? Hell. The idea that God would send people he doesn't like to a pit to burn for eternity. Is that truly any less immoral than justifying violence, which is readily done in the Old Testament, to which Jesus said he wasn't attempting to abolish.

And this so called "Christian" minister had potential personality disorder and mental issues. But many here choose to see him as "right wing Christian".

OP is a Muslim and is well known person to bash Christianity and make this nonsense thing something to justify his hatred. OP, look at Islam and ISIS first before anything else
Um, what? This happened. This wasn't made up. THIS HAPPENED. The OP is representative of every single Muslim I have ever met both here and abroad (including Israel) - just wanting to worship in the way they are called in peace and horrified by terrorism being enacted in the name of their faith. I wonder why you can't share the horror when terrorism is planned in the name of yours?

The use of terror by a creator isn't exactly something to respect in a particular creation-superstition. Any more than the concept that an omnipotent creator demands the saccharine adoration of his playtoys and becomes petulant when he doesn't get it.
