Fundamentalists/Extremists/Terrorists

3 Words that make you think of Muslims eh?

If a Muslim shot a man on his way to church he'd probably come under all 3 words in the media, if he shot a well known and respected doctor, even worse!

However, if you live in the US, and it is a Christian that does it your are an 'Activist'!!! News (http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/Abortion-Doctor-Shooting-In-Wichita-Kansas---Scott-Roeder-Charged-With-Murder-Of-George-Tiller/Article/200906115294350?lpos=World_News_First_Home_Article_Teaser_Region_7&lid=ARTICLE_15294350_Abortion_Doctor_Shooting_In_Wichita%2C_Kansas_-_Scott_Roeder_Charged_With_Murder_Of_George_Tiller)

No you're not an Activist you are a Christian Fundamentalist/Christian Extremist/Christian Terrorist, as he murdered in the name of his beliefs.

You can't have different rules for different beliefs.
