IMHO Richard nails it here.

For folks who are comfortable labeling fundamentalist nuts like Choudary (who would remain a turd if baptized tomorrow) or terrorists like AQ as the voice or face of Islam, how do you reconcile folks like that pastor in Florida, terrorists who bomb abortion clinics, the Klan and supremacist militias, or pedophile priests?

They are simply fundamentalist nuts or wolves in my book regardless of who they worship, I do not hold the above types against Christians either, or feel they speak for Christianity, my experience is quite the opposite.
