So if you consider yourself to be a Christian, I accept your decision. So take all the offense you want to. I don't think it's your decision to make about anyone other than yourself.

Frankly I'm not sure about von Brunn but Roeder certainly considers himself a Christian. No one had any problem assigning a religion to the man previously known as Carlos Bledsoe since I can't spell his new name. So if the news can denigrate a religion by assigning that designation to Bledsoe, then surely I can assign Christianity to Roeder since he thinks of himself that way. Maybe I'm wrong about von Brunn, so the count is 1 self proclaimed Muslim, (until recently I believe also a Christian), American born terrorist, 1 self proclaimed Christian, American born terrorist, 1 currently religion unknown, American born terrorist.

All I'm saying is that if we are going to pin labels on some of our terrorists, let's be fair and label them all.
