Well, the thing is that some people judge all of Islam based on the actions of its most extreme members, but at the same time they can not see that they have the same kind of extremism on their own side. the Ku Kux Klan, The Order, Anders Behring Breivik, the Westboro Baptist Church - the list of white christian haters and murderers is long, And then there are the thousands of civilians killed by drone strikes in Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia, Lybia, Pakistan... that can't be ignored.
Both sides play the game, but some people can't see that. They think their side is blameless and anyway if there are any extremists amongst us there's only a few and it's because they were provoked.
And then of course there's Luke 6:37 and Matthew 7:1, about Christians being careful about judging others, and beams and motes in eyes.
"That which is stated without evidence can be dismissed without evidence" In other words, just saying something doesn't make it a fact.
50-90% of people in muslim majority countries believe terrorism is acceptable to spread islam.

Breivik didn't do what he did because of religion
"On the day of the attacks, Breivik e-mailed a compendium of texts entitled 2083: A European Declaration of Independence, describing his militant ideology. In them, he stated his opposition to Islam and blamed feminism for a European "cultural suicide." The text called for the deportation of all Muslims from Europe" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Behring_Breivik#cite_ref-Jones20110727_23-0)
Westboro hasn't killed anyone, neither had the order.
True. They're just haters, like the Muslim Imams who make firey speeches but don't do anything.
Drone strikes by a government aren't religious either
I agree that the US is not a Christian nation, but I was discussing this with someone who does think that.
Buddy was going back 1400 years but I'm only allowed 50?
