That doesn't mean that people that call themselves Muslim or Christian can't be terrorists. Ireland and Syria prove that. It is easy to hate a group of terrorists or make policy against them, but it is hardly productive to place yourself against all people that pass themselves as Muslim or Christian.
It is rather hard to make Christ prejudiced, but Muhammad was trying to unite the Arab people. It is not impossible to interpret some of his 'holy' words in what might be considered unholy ways. It is not considered nice by many to speak to unite us against them and denigrate them. That is not to say it hasn't been done by many a westerner.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
