Christianity has a murderous history. To its credit, it has largely overcome that. But it's not hard to understand why nonChristians (and reflective Christians) don't see a great deal of difference in the current behavior of Islamic extremists and the past behavior of the Christian establishment.
The Army of God and the Westboro Baptist Church do not represent all Christians, any more than the Jihadists represent all Muslims. Do not impose a double standard on Islam.
