BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq's government indefinitely postponed a much-anticipated national reconciliation conference Sunday as a two-day spree of sectarian revenge killings and insurgent bombings left at least 86 Iraqis dead.
Meanwhile, a militant network that includes al-Qaida in Iraq announced in a video that it had established an Islamic state in six provinces, a propaganda push in its drive to force the withdrawal of U.S. forces and topple the American-backed Iraqi government.
The Mujahedeen Shura Council — an umbrella organization of insurgent groups in Iraq — said the new state was made up of six provinces including Baghdad that have large Sunni populations, along with parts of two other central provinces that are predominantly Shiite.

Well according to Rosie O'Donnel theres no difference between extremist Christians and extremist Muslims lol.
Christianity or should I say Catholicism had its share of sectarian violence but that was medieval Europe. We've taken a few leaps and bounds since then Id say!

I doubt there are any Baptist "suicide" bombers, not ot say that there are not violent Christians, but I doubt any would kill themselves over religous matters.
Christianity uses peaceful forms of evangelism, it does not spread by the sword.

None, because in America, we believe in freedom of religion. However, athiest, satanist and the lot, will try to change that if we give them the chance.

Ha! Christians don't operate like that. Thou shalt not kill. Love your enemies.

The wording of your question is a little obscure.....
HOWEVER- YOU ARE SORTA RIGHT.
THE TEACHINGS OF BAPTISTS ARE ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED SO.....INFACT- ANY PERSON COULD BECOME "BORNAGAIN" AND THEN- BECOME A SUICIDE BOMBER(AFTERWORDS), WHY???!!
BECUASE THEY FOOLISHLY AND WICKEDLY PREACH ETERNAL SECURITY.
SO..KILLING LIKE THAT IS WICKED FROM ANY THEOLOGICAL VIEWPOINT.....AND IT WRONG FROM SOCALLED "CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY" THOUGH IT WILL NEVER BE ADMITTED AS SUCH.
GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU SEEK THE TRUTH!-LIVE4TRUTH=]
