That one lone supposed Christian that bombed a clinic was not a apart of any Christian fundamentalist group as you see going on in the world of Islam with the actuality of young men and women being recruited for suicide bombings around the world. And this one lone bomber was put to death by the christian society that condemned his actions. It baffles me as to how you can relate the two.
And pray tell me just where you find these "dangerous" Christians? For heaven's sakes. Those supposed Christians stalking soldiers funerals may be crazy and most likely frauds, but so far they are not dangerous. I haven't seen them burning down mosques and killing Inmans while they are praying in their mosques - all of which happened to people of the Christian faith during the zombie influenced violent protests over some perceived offense to their prophet in some cartoons.
Also - I beg to differ with you as to Islam being a religion as Christianity is.
I quote from a friend of mine: "What you have fingered here is the difference between a faith and a political program. A faith, such as Christianity, is a set of beliefs and a code of conduct one adopts for oneself and cleaves to voluntarily. A political program is a struggle for the power to impose a code of conduct on others, willy-nilly.
Islam is not a faith, but a political program. It has some theological window dressing, but most of it was borrowed from earlier creeds, and the original parts are utterly ridiculous."
