But if a Muslim was standing outside my church reading from his "Bible" and screaming, "Kill the infidels" he would find himself in trouble with the law or me personally.


Why is this any different?

If a Nazi was reading from Mein Kampf and screaming "kill the Jews" we would want him silenced since he is inciting demonstrably personally and societally destructive acts. Same for the ranting jihadist. But the Christian Bible reader is exhorting people to STOP demonstrably personally and societally destructive behavior. See the difference ?

One thing we have got to do is stop pretending that all viewpoints are inherently equal;they most certainly and demonstrably are NOT. Would you give equal weight to the views of an insane ,sex addicted killer as those of a gentle person known only for helping and healing others ?
