...One against Islamic extremists who seek to destroy Christianity, and the other against Christian extremist movements who want to twist the teachings of Christ into a hate-filled, intolerant society where a Taliban-like structure will take the place of our government(Christian Identity, et al)?

I know nothing about that all I know is that Jesus is lord and I will serve him forever. He saved me and he loves me. Maybe we need to focus on trying to teach people the real word of God in stead of fighting! GOD BLESS!

Yones which is YesNo.
Christian extremists are at least somewhat held in check by mainline Christians. Sadly, such does not appear to be the case with Islam. I think there, for a short time yet, is another battle and that is against a secular culture which seeks to deny moral responsiblitiy for itself or others.
Finally, there is the familiar battle against sin - in our own lives.

I'm more afraid of Christian extremists. It's not that they're just twisting the teachings of Christ...it's the fact that they're also using their own particular brand of religious dogma to shape a secular government that covers people of many faiths.

Yes to part 1; No to part 2. Most of our basic, major laws are already founded upon Judeo-Christian principles, and it's what made us great.
There is no "hate-filled" agenda within the Christian religion.
We need more tolerance of good by the hypocritical liberal left who is intolerant of everyone who disagrees with them.

The good fight of faith. I will not deny my Lord & Saviour. I will tell others Jesus came so we could be saved. So we could be restored in our relationship with God.
The enemy of the Christian is our flesh or spiritual wickedness in high places. We are to cast down lies of the enemies, like false accusations in your question, & replace it with truth from God's Word.
Where in the bible does God command Christians to be hate-filled? Jesus told us to love God & Others. To do to others as we would have them do to us. Do this to fulfill the law & the prophets.
Every person who believes in the Jesus of the Bible is an enemy of Islam because Islam doesn't believe in the Jesus revealed in the Holy Bible. Islam calls our faith statements in Christ blasphemy.
Did you know that freedom of religion is in America? That protects us from corrupt powerful religious leaders in our churches.
We don't battle Islamic extremists. We battle the spiritual wickedness behind it. It is called prayer, love, truth, etc... We pray for God's divine protection over others in faith or others who need salvation.

Those are only outward manifestions that we can see with our eyes.
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
