Does mainstream Christianity endorse violence?  No?  But there are some Christians who do some pretty extreme things in the name of their god.  Explain to me how this is any different.  I would argue that Islam, as a whole, is much more peaceful than Christianity as a whole.

Islam is a pretty big religion. It has about a billion and a half adherents, about five times the population of the United States.

The United States includes Republicans and Democrats, Timothy McVeigh and Martin Luther King, Unitarians and Seventh-Day Adventists, members of the Crips and members of Habitat for Humanity, vegetarians and gun lobbyists, the ACLU and Focus on the Family. America includes violence and America includes apple pie. I like to think apple pie is more mainstream.
