How many "radical Christians" are blowing themselves up inside apartment complexes, executing over a hundred people, or swan diving Boeings into skyscrapers? Perspective, you lack it severely, friend.

It isn't dubious, it does exist... just not at any levels of significance or import.
It's not significant or important that presidential contenders are included in the numbers of those whom are Radical Christian homophobes? Cruz gets elected...and there's your 'Supreme Leader.'
Think it's impossible? Think some more....

When the Seleka, a group of mostly Muslim rebels, led a successful coup in the Central African Republic in March 2013, one of the world’s poorest countries was plunged into turmoil as Christian militias targeted the nation’s minority Muslim population in what amounts to genocide.
Christian militia in Central African Republic have carried out ethnic cleansing of the Muslim population during the country's ongoing civil war, but there is no proof there was genocidal intent, a United Nations commission of inquiry has determined.
Militias in the Central African Republic are slitting children's throats, razing villages and throwing young men to the crocodiles. What needs to happen before the world intervenes?
He cited "indiscriminate killings and massacres" and "shocking barbarity, brutality and inhumanity." He said he's "deeply distressed that nearly half a million Central Africans have been newly displaced since December alone. In all, 2.5 millions are in desperate need."

I wholly agree with that statement. So why is it then that one strain of crazy is so acceptable among mainstream American conservatives that GOP politicians can be immersed up to their necks in it without suffering negative effects and another is the subject of considerable consternation and copious ranting?

Over 40 years of examples of radical Islam to current events in Paris.
Apples to oranges.
Researchers said they determined that 3,959 black people were killed in “racial terror lynchings” in a dozen Southern states between 1877 and 1950. The new number includes 700 people who were not named in previous works seeking to comprehensively document the toll, the authors wrote. Some of those previous studies were conducted at a time when lynching was still an ongoing phenomenon.

you even put it in quotes as though the mere existence of radical Christianity is dubious.
It isn't dubious, it does exist... just not at any levels of significance or import. There is no Supreme Leader of "radical Christianity." Here's where you're failing: Christians have opinions, just like everyone else does.
Crazy damn world these days.

Reality is what remains after we stop believing in everything else.
Let's start there, with reality, sans everything we can't prove to be true.

Even more black people were lynched in the U.S. than previously thought, study find

Trust me, it isn't the message of Westboro Baptist that makes them the scourge of most Americans, it's their poor choice of how and where they relay the message. If they didn't target the funerals of fallen soldiers and the like, you'd hear much less about them as far as being crazy.

Thats kind of common sense isnt it?
If you didnt hear or see it, how the hell can you speak out against it?
You wouldnt know they were doing it....
Thats like blaming police for not arresting a man they didnt know was shoplifting....

Yeah and SO ?
That was by the same people that created the KKK and are now trying to compare 'radical' Christianity to 'radical' islam.
It doesn't work.
These government funded, church-run institutions, literally stole children from their families, brought them to places thousands of kilometres away from their homes, physically, mentally and sexually abused them, deliberately contaminated them with tuberculosis, and decimated their sense of self, their sense of heritage and culture, all in some backwards attempt to assimilate them into good, Christian Canadians

That is a really huge part of the problem now, isn't it?.
The majority of people have no clue what freedom is, and that is why they have lost it.
My religion is nobody else's business, and theirs is none of mine.
Everything is only business in the end and if there were no revenue generated by it for someone, somewhere, somehow, it probably would not even be a topic or an issue.
Just to show you...Christians have also made a stain on history..just mere decades for the native people and black people don't ignore.

I was replying to NEo who stated that radical attacks by Islam having going on for decades and I showed him that Christians have also done horrible things mere decades ago.
As for Christians and radicals...look at Africa and tell them the Christians there are not radicals.
