By and large, the Christian community has NO TEACHINGS in its Scriptures or church teachings for violence and murder. Although there have been examples of such actions in the past - for the overwhelming majority, in the present — no such thing exists, as in Islam and the Koran.

HOWEVER, that being said, there are a very few and smallish number involved in extremism. One example is just a few miles from me - the Christian Identity group in Oklahoma. The overwhelming number of Christians would disavow any connection to “Christianity” by them. This group is the group that had Timothy McVeigh over a few times and may have helped him.

I’ve got a relative (actually dead now) who was in the Christian Identity group, and they’re a mean bunch that you don’t want to mess with.
