It's the difference between 'Love your enemies' -- a Christian fundamental -- and 'Shoot them' -- a tactic learned from evil sources. The media don't want to know the difference. They prefer to blaspheme Christ and to slander Christians, by labelling violent white supremacists and similar murderers as 'Christian'. Holy war was a fundamental for Muhammad. Terrorism is a fundamental unalterably written into the Koran. Killing your religious enemies is a fundamental of true Islam. Not so for Christ, for the Bible, or for true Christians. A child could know that much. Why does the media not want to know? You can call a Muslim terrorist a 'fundamentalist extremist Muslim', but you shouldn't call a violent extremist, 'Christian'. If you want to know more, you need to read the Koran. We have a Christian commentary on it, to guide you past its tricky wording. Our commentary upholds Christian fundamentals like the truth of the Bible and the evil of false prophecy (such as the Koran). It explores the clash of fundamentals -- evil ones waging 'holy-war' against good ones. So you need to know that not all fundamentalists want to kill their religious enemies like Muhammad did. But they may hate a false truth. It is as well to point out that though Paul taught non-violence, he in no way held back from criticising his fellow (but unbelieving) Jews, as violently evil enemies of the truth, of the gospel and of the Christians. Neither did Jesus refrain from calling his accusers a brood of Satanic serpents; just like John the Baptist did before Jesus, as did Isaiah, David and Moses before them. Matthew 3:7 about John the Baptist But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? John 8:44 from Jesus Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

Isaiah 57:3-4 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot. 4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and put out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood, Isa 59:3-5 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue muttereth wickedness. 4 None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. 5 They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth; and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. Psalm 140:1-3 from David Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; Preserve me from the violent man: 2 Who devise mischiefs in their heart; Continually do they gather themselves together for war. 3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; Adders' poison is under their lips. Selah Deuteronomy 32:32-33 from Moses For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter: 33 Their wine is the poison of serpents, And the cruel venom of asps. Be careful what you call 'Christian' and 'un-Christian' behaviour, for it may be slandering Christ and God and His prophets and people, when you call bad actions Christian or bad words unChristian. For instance, I hesitate to call abortion a Christian issue, or Catholicism a 'Christian' system, or Protestant denominations 'Christian' organisations, or belief in God a 'Christian' characteristic, or the moral majority in a country half-full of Christians, a 'Christian' position. If the gospel doesn't hang on the issue, if the church-organisation is separate from the personal belief in resurrection, if the doctrine is not Bible-based, or not true to the intention of the Bible, or if you can't find a national Christianity anywhere in scripture, then don't add to the confusion by calling every and sundry thing 'Christian'.
