My argument doesn't need boiling down. It's nothing to do with "it's different for Christians." It's up there, and I stand by it. I would also say that there are "true" and "untrue" Muslims (and yes, I'd agree that those you mention would fall into the latter category), and Buddhists (would you argue the point that no true Buddhist would eat a fish?), Hindus and atheists. It's absurd to judge an entire group by a label which can be appropriated by anyone.
How do we tell true Christians from untrue Christians? How do we recognise a homicidal maniac? The only way is by what they do, how they live. I know that doesn't sort all the nasties handily into a box with a label, but that's just the way things are.
