To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before in the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross.

Ah so Hitler too was a vile blood-cultist.
Christian extremism tends to manifest itself in acts of excessive self flaggelation, extreme rhetoric and strict adherence to religious dogma and practices.

Quite simply it isn't and one religion stands head and shoulders (on a giant) above the rest combined
I don't think so. The singlemost violent belief system on the planet is the one of unbelief. Had any of the people claiming to be adherents of any one of several moral platforms, actually paid attention to the premise of those platforms, none of this would've happened. In short, it isn't any particular religion or belief system that causes the anguish but the human condition.
must be just a fantastic series of continued, sustained and odds defying coincidences then for that particular religion then
Absolutely! One should at least expect 50/50 results but all we see is one dismal failure after another.

I see quite a bit of denial that christian extremist groups even exist - something I'd like to correct.
Here's some quotes
to start off with.
Here are some christian extremist groups
Here's some more and some reports of their goals and activities.
Anybody who says it doesn't exist or that it isn't a problem is kidding themselves.
These people have more in common with muslim extremists than they do with other christians.
Have you seen and heard how bitchy and catty women are?

Are those extremists practicing what jesus teached?
If the answer is no, then YOU are the only one given them credence as a christian organization and frankly, it's highly suspicious.

The same can be said about islam. Then we can say that there is absolutely no extremist in any religion and we can stuck are head in the sand like the other poster said and resolve absolutely nothing.

And that is the crux of the matter.

Their own words are that they are christian organisations - not my words, theirs.
They are no more christian (in reality) than al'qaeda are muslims - but this does not affect how they portray themselves.
Nor does it excuse peoples refusal to believe that they are here, they are active and they have agenda's.
In the OP, the group called themselves christian - and yet they advocate religious genocide in the name of their god - this puts them in the same category as any muslim extremist group.

Do the platforms and words match christian teachings? If not, then it isn't a christian organization. It's just calling itself that. do you want a list of non-religious organizations that have done horrid deeds as evidence that atheists can also be a huge problem? Of course not, because you KNOW that a belief system does not automatically equal a n action and especially if that action is not part of that belief system!
