Bombing abortion clinics. It make no sense to kill people to prevent them from killing a fetus. Gay bashing, not sparing the rod on their children. This war in Iraq is started by a self professed born again. Priests molesting children.
OK Suzy ever so smart. The war in Iraq has killed hundreds of thousands of people, they did not attack us, and the perpetrator of said war was using Christianity as an excuse, Hitler also used God and the bible for his little event called the Holocaust, MORE than 12 million dead, I'm glad you are in charge of nothing.

Doubtless you will hear of McVeigh, but McVeigh was a PANTHEIST.
The liberal smear machine will churn out every sort of moral relativistic example it can, and every one will be wrong.
Fundie apologists, (this includes liberals) will just assuredly use the same technique.
Christians disavow and marginalize criminals that murder in the name of God,

What time frame do you mean by 'recent?' I would point to Timothy Mcveigh and the Oklahoma City bombing. He claimed to be a Christian, just like these RADICAL Muslims claim to be for Allah.

1. It is only radical Christians who do these things. Do not label us all like that.
2. Exactly what do you mean by "recent"? Do you mean within the last 100 years? Because that list is very long.

Timothy McVeigh. Oklahoma City bombing. If you claim it is not a Christian thing to do, then you side with most Muslims when they believe what Al Qaeda does is not Islamic.

Have you read this book ?
What is your opinion, from the list below, provided by Spencer in his book?
The Truth About Muhammad
by Robert Spencer
Meet the real Muhammad:
Muhammad's bizarre reaction to his first "revelation": "I will go to the top of the mountain and throw myself down that I may kill myself"
The heretical Christian who convinced Muhammad he was a prophet – and may have taught him his erroneous views of Christianity
Islamic borrowings from Judaism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism – and Muhammad's enraged replies to charges that he borrowed material rather than received actual divine revelations
The "revelation" that allowed Muhammad to marry his beautiful daughter-in-law
The strange incident in Muhammad's life that makes it virtually impossible to prove rape in Islamic countries today
The real "Satanic Verses" incident (not the Salman Rushdie version): how Muhammad's attempt to win over his opponents ended with his saying he had been inspired not by God, but by Satan
How the Qur'an's teaching on warfare against unbelievers developed – with constant war to establish the hegemony of Islamic law as the last stage
The first year of the Muslim calendar: not when Muhammad was born or became a prophet, but when he became a warlord
How Muhammad used the graphic lure of Islamic Paradise to urge his warriors to fight furiously to extend his rule
"Kill every Jew who comes into your power": why Muhammad became so angry with both Jews and Christians – with disastrous consequences that are still playing out in the world today
The momentous command by Muhammad that led to good being identified with anything that benefited the Muslims, and evil with anything that harmed them --without reference to any larger moral standard
Muhammad's child bride – and the terrible consequences his marriage to a nine-year-old still has in the Islamic world
"This is the caravan of the Quraysh possessing wealth. It is likely that Allah may give it to you as booty": how Muhammad gave divine sanction to the Muslims' bloody raids
"War is deceit": the permission Muhammad gave his followers to lie in order to gain an advantage over their enemies
How Muhammad broke the principal treaty he entered into, again setting a pattern for Muslim states thereafter
Muhammad's commands to his followers to wage perpetual war against non-Muslims, including Jews and Christians
Muhammad on women's rights: women "are prisoners with you having no control of their persons"
"If justice is not to be found with me then where will you find it?" Why Muhammad still stands for Muslims as the supreme model for human behavior
"I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula, and will not leave any but Muslims" – and other statements by Muhammad that contemporary jihadists take very seriously
Islamic tolerance? The onerous tax burden and other discriminatory regulations mandated for non-Muslims under Islamic law
How Muhammad ordered the killing of apostates from Islam
The massacre of a Jewish tribe by Muhammad that was invoked by modern-day jihadists at the beginning of Israel's July 2006 operations against Hizballah in Lebanon
"Embrace Islam, and your lives and property will be safe": Muhammad's threatening letters to the rulers of the lands around Arabia
Muhammad's frequent avowals that the Muslims would overcome the empires bordering on Arabia and one day stand as masters of the world
"I have been made victorious with terror" – and other statements of Muhammad on his deathbed
Six steps that American leaders can and must take in order to protect our nation from Islamic jihad terrorism

You prople have no idea what being a Christian really means, so you think that anyone who says they are a Christian really is a Christian.
Which shows you are just anti-Christian bigots.
