How about looking at scale: when was the last time 19 Christians killed over 3000 innocent people?
And the people saying "They will cut your head off in the middle east" are correct -- we don't have anything like that on the books over here. When we occasionally do carry out the sentence in a capital case, it's after many levels of mandatory appeals and normally around 25 years after the crime -- and the crimes are not defined by religious offenses.
Is decapitating an infidel considered "measured response" in the middle east? Ask Daniel Pearl or Nick Berg.

How about over the last few thousand years? Some of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind were done in the name of Christianity. Surely this fact has not escaped you.
