actually, irate, I think the comparison is more along the lines of religious leaders who spew hate, which gives rise to terrorist acts rather than a direct comparison of these christian leaders being terrorists themselves.
That is, understand the distinction being drawn between bin Laden and the terrorists actors who physically perpetrate the violence.
Then you might see the distinction being drawn between Falwell and the person who shoots abortion doctors as they walk into their clinics.
