The author is right on a few fronts here. Christian values seem to lately be about abortion and gay marriage. Fred Phelps seems to be the biggest "Christian" extremist out there right now. All religions, Christianity included, need to root out dangerous extremists because if they don't, they have public opinion turn against their faith like Muslims are feeling right now.

Everyone wants to tell you "What would Jesus do?", I ask "what would YOU do". Sure, you can read the Bible, the Koran, or any other holy book and find guidance for everyday life situations. But it's ultimately your choice about what you want to do about it. Do you want people to assume that Christianity is about the Crusades and the vilification of Jewish people? No, of course not, so when fringe members of your religion spew nonsense, you need to stand up and tell them they are wrong.

If Muslims did this about terrorists more often, they wouldn't have taken such a beating in the public eye. Now Christians are going to start getting that reputation if you have pushed your scope of concern down to abortion and gay marriage, especially if someone commits a terrorist attack against people who support these issues such as abortion doctors or ministers who marries gay people.
