To be honest I have not heard of many terrorist groups where Christianity has been a focal point in the terrorists profiling - but should we now stop trusting Christianss because of the actions of a few (albeit a almost non existent minority). Can the same arguments that we have seen against Islam be applied to other religions (and why arent they).

Whereas I agree with what you say to a point, I can't remember any threads involving Islamic terrorists where people have questioned if they "really are" Muslim or not.
You know yourself that most people will not apply the same consideration to Islam as they do to Christianity.
