From a theological viewpoint, it would be fair to say that those individuals who have used Christianity for purposes other than Christ-like behavior, or as a barrier to social progress, are not real Christians. Talking the talk and walking the walk are two totally separate things. You either take a religion as a whole, or not at all.
From a social perspective, the general perception of a "religious" individual acting in such a manner leads to misunderstanding of what is truly acceptable in relation to the sacred texts. Perversion or religion on an individual level, even by a minority of the practitioners, leads to a very bad image.
The fact that Quincy recognized the danger of Islam so many years ago should serve as sound evidence that there must be dire action taken in the coming years.
