There are plenty of Christian terrorists.
They are far fewer in number than Islamic terrorists around the world. They are also mostly locally acting.
There is a few Christian terror groups many don't even consider. Mexican Drug Cartels are filled to the brim with people who would consider themselves Christian.

Wait... since when did West Point become left wing?
That's an insanely misinformed statement.
...
“While liberal worldviews are future- or progressive -oriented, conservative perspectives are more past-oriented, and in general, are interested in preserving the status quo.” the report says. “The far right represents a more extreme version of conservatism, as its political vision is usually justified by the aspiration to restore or preserve values and practices that are part of the idealized historical heritage of the nation or ethnic community.”
The report adds: “While far-right groups’ ideology is designed to exclude minorities and foreigners, the liberal-democratic system is designed to emphasize civil rights, minority rights and the balance of power.”
The report says there were 350 “attacks initiated by far-right groups/individuals” in 2011.

I'm beginning to wonder if you even know West Point is.
And in an academic context, such as the extensive report (from Dr. Arie Perliger. the Director of Terrorism Studies at the Combating Terrorism Center and Associate Professor at the Department of Social Sciences, US Military Academy at West Point), "progressive" isn't automatically synonymous with "liberal."
The media mocks and belittles Christianity on a far greater scale than they do Islam and Christians aren't demanding death to those who dare criticize the teachings of Jesus.

Would like to point out to members here saying Muslim attacks are far higher than Christian attacks,yeah well we have made a serous mess in their countries in the Middle East so revenge attacks must be expected
Or did the out of touch of reality planners on this war on terror expect to be welcomed on the streets with flowers?
Not only have we killed them in high numbers,our media mocks their faith and insults their beliefs
Look at this board and the threads about Syrian refuges and acts of violence for Syria in retaliation and just contemplate the west has aided and trained some of the many terrorists in Syria that have devastated that country and our collective governments imagine they are the good guys in all this?
It also seems from across the pond our American cousins are politically poles apart with the left and right getting more angry at each other! Could this simmering hatred exploded into a whirlwind of violence?
Muslims, who represent just under one percent of the US population, are responsible for over 3000 murders by terrorism.
