This demonstrates my point even further. When Pat Robertson suggested that Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez should be assassinated (dare I say, "wiped off the map"?), he was soundly rebuked by Christians of all denominations.

No, I'm sorry this doesn't prove your point - simply saying the Christians of all denominations rebuke Robertson to argue that all Christians disagreed with his statement is faulty logic - at least in the context of this debate... after all I can say exactly the same thing about the comments by the Iranian president: that Muslims of all denominations objected to his remarks... in fact some were quite vocal in their vilification of his remarks (it looked as if one Sunni cleric was going to burst a blood vessel on Al Jazeera denouncing the president as a political hack trying to pander to the ignorant, and the hateful ,as a means to support his tyranny). Just because it hasn't been seen on Fox or CNN doesn't mean it hasn't happened...
