Hmmm... Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican, United, Calvinist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, Orthodox Christian, Mormons (yes, technically), and then of course there's at least a dozen non-aligned Christian churches... and thats just the ones I can think of offhand.
All have different enough views to be considered different, yet all fall under the Christian umbrella. Hence its very difficult for say the Pope should condemn these guys, cause they are a separate religion... All he can do is what he and his predecessor have done and condemn acts of violence and suggest the pursuit of peace.
I should add that I'm not a very religious person, but I've studied them intensely for a few years now... Next time you wanna challenge someone, make sure you know what you're talking about.
To be fair, the term "christian fundamentalist" has been used more than a few times to describe the actions of people or groups... muslim extremism is simply much more prevalent.
