Rudolph wasn't a radical Christian? Why do you suppose he was blowing up abortion clinics?
No, he wasn't a radical Christian. He wasn't a Christian at all.
When Christians are murderers, it is outside of the teachings of their religion. They aren't practicing their religion the way it is taught.
The Koran teaches to kill the infidel, to convert by the sword, to lie to the infidel, anything it takes.
The terrorrists are called "Islamic Fundamentalists."
Main Entry: fun·da·men·tal·ism
Pronunciation: -t&l-"i-z&m
Function: noun
1 a often capitalized : a movement in 20th century Protestantism emphasizing the literally interpreted Bible as fundamental to Christian life and teaching b : the beliefs of this movement c : adherence to such beliefs

Fundamentalist= at its foundation!
It's the moderate Muslims who are not converting by the sword that aren't practicing their religion as it is taught.
Not all muslims are terrorists, but most terrorists are muslims. Not all muslims are evil, but the ideology is. We can use the PC rhetoric and say, "They're not practicing true islam." Okay, then, this is not just a religion. It's also a form of civil government. Which islamic country is practicing true islam?
For starters, we have the 1970 assassination of defense attaché Bob Perry in Amman, and of Ambassador Cleo Noel and his deputy, Curt Moore, in Sudan in 1972; the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983; the two separate bombings of the U.S. embassy in Beirut in 1983 and 1985; the 1985 murder of Leon Klinghoffer aboard the Achille Lauro; the 1988 murder of Lt. Col. William Higgins in south Lebanon; the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center; the 1998 destruction of U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam; the 2000 attack on the USS Cole; the horrid attack of September 11 and now the recent attack in London.

When little ol' Christian fundie church ladies are flying planes into buildings in the name of our God, you may have some kind of point. Until then, your logic doesn't wash.
