When we remember the horror of the crime committed by the Nazis, we see no one says Christians are terrorists, then why some voices talking about Islamic terrorism and did not hear them say Christian terrorism ((Nazis)) ?

I say they're equal in many ways,they both have their extremists don't they. In fact one of the Christian worlds extremists is getting ready to go to prison soon for an Apr 27th attempted bombing of an abortion clinic in Austin,TX. I don't know how long his trial will take but they have him red handed and he's going away,of that I'm sure.
Islam gets more attention because they have more of their psychotic version out there right now,but in my eyes it's all a matter of timing. I think they are both religions that teach doctrines easily turned into hatred,they are both vile in ways,with a few decent things thrown in to justify their existence. And I think the world would be better off without either ideology,hope that answers your question.

Bad analogy...the crusades work better. There are your Christian terrorists. Many Nazis were Christians, but Christianity wasn't "the Cause" of the Nazi regime. Since Christians fought the Nazis, does that make WWII purely a religious war?
From the link below:
Hitler is quoted as saying, "I have followed the Church in giving our party program the character of unalterable finality, like the Creed. The Church has never allowed the Creed to be interfered with. It is fifteen hundred years since it was formulated, but every suggestion for its ammendment, every logical criticsm or attack on it, has been rejected. The Church has realized that anything and everything can be built upon a document of that sort, no matter how contradictory, or irreconcilable with it. The faithful will swallow it whole, so long as logical reasoning is never allowed to be brought to bear on it."

The Nazis established the Reich Protestant Church and elected a Reich’s Bishop. Whatever their individual personal beliefs, they promoted the idea of Germany as a Christian nation. The German Christians had supported their rise to power.
The reasoning that identifies an entire religion with the extreme actions of a few within that religion is ridiculous.

Unless the SS training camps were being run by bishops, then no.
Unless the Germans wrapped themselves in Christian ideology, recruited in Churches and received moral and financial support from Christian organizations, then no.
Unless the Germans were copying Jesus' actions, then no.
I recognize the page from the Lib playbook that you're using - the one that says if we can't refute the other side's argument, make up a new argument and refute that. Nobody's saying that Islam is the problem simply because the terrorists happen to be Muslim. We're saying that Islam is the problem because the terrorist leaders are tied in with the Islamic religious leaders - e.g., radical CLERIC Moqtar Al-Sadr. We're saying that Islam is the problem because the terrorists cite the Koran as supporting their beliefs and actions, and if you read the Koran, it does say that Allah wants them to do just what they're doing. We're saying that Islam is the problem because its founder, Mohammad, did the 7th century equivalent of what the terrorists are doing now.

I don't know what you've been toking on, but the Nazis were most definitely NOT Christians. I've never read or heard anyone make such a ridiculous assertion.
To be a Christian, one has to be like Jesus and Jesus said to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Invading countries and committing genocide do not qualify as Christian acts.

Real Christians are not. The Christian nationalists and dominionists who control the GOP , under the leadership of Ralph Reed, Le Haye, Falwell, and Pat Robertson, could become very dangerous if given enough power.
Tom DeLay is a good example of these people. So is Rick Santorum.

The argument that Nazis were not Christians is ridiculous, the hated Catholics, but they were definitely Christian, "Lutheranish" (a word I just made up) you might say.
You made a good point.

The Nazi's were most definately christians. And I agree with you, if we are going to say all Muslims are terrorists, then we should also say all Christians are genocidal.
And to the others, the Nazi's were most definately not atheists. THAT is the revisionist history.

Your question makes very little sense, however it is true that 'christians' have engaged in terrorist tactics over the years, and they reach the level of nazis when it comes to the way they will kill, maim, subjugate the weak, steal, and hate - completely ignoring the words of their own 'Jesus'.
They think 'God' is on their side though, so they can somehow justify their actions - regardless of how atrocious they might be.

Ok Lets say for 1 sec that ALL Christians are racist... and for "white supremacy"
would that be the same thing as saying All Liberals are terrorist because they are all Drug induced and not in their right mind? They act out of hatred anf fear?
OR all Liberals are dirty hippies?
