"When those who claim to be Christians commit similar acts of barbarism, it's not hard to find other more level-headed Christians willing to step up to the plate and decry the violent fringe."

Then where are all the Christian public figures denouncing the racism and ignorance spouted by the WBC or the Teapartiers?

Every single thing you've accused the Muslims of could easily be applied to Christians. If more liberal pussies would stop kowtowing to fundamentalist Christians, then we could make some headway on this bullshit and keep them from altering history in public school textbooks or discriminating against people based on their sexual preference. That is some backwards reactionary monkey bullshit.
