Islam does seem unique in their support of radicals. I've long been a "don't judge a group based on a tiny tiny part" but have had my opinion changed by numerous polls showing very odd opinions on the part of many muslims. Googled for some quick ones, but not necessarily the ones I've seen before-
32% of palestinians support killing jewish families including children-

61% of Egyptians approve of attacks on Americans
32% of Indonesians approve of attacks on Americans
41% of Pakistanis approve of attacks on Americans
38% of Moroccans approve of attacks on Americans
83% of Palestinians approve of some or most groups that attack Americans (only 14% oppose)
62% of Jordanians approve of some or most groups that attack Americans (21% oppose)
42% of Turks approve of some or most groups that attack Americans (45% oppose)
A minority of Muslims disagreed entirely with terror attacks on Americans:
(Egypt 34%; Indonesia 45%; Pakistan 33%)
About half of those opposed to attacking Americans were sympathetic with al-Qaeda’s attitude toward the U.S.

Pew Research (2010): 15% of Indonesians believe suicide bombings are often or sometimes justified.
34% of Nigerian Muslims believe suicide bombings are often or sometimes justified.

16% of young Muslims in Belgium state terrorism is "acceptable".

Again, these are just some quick google searches, but this stuff comes up in the news pretty damn often. I think its pretty clear that muslims seem to be different than most religious groups in their support of things like this. If Christians polled similarly on these topics I'd expect them to answer for the shit you linked.
Also, this clearly isn't racist... you do know what that word means?

And as of a year ago a majority of Americans (59%) believe that their government engaging in the practice of torture was justified - what does that say about Americans as a whole?
It was Christians running around with machetes killing Muslims and looting/burning their homes/mosques, would it have been fair to ask Christians in Toronto if they were sorry for that? No, it would not.
Yes, I do. You however are apparently unaware that like Judaism, Islam is also a cultural thing. Also, please do note that I called her a bigot.
Let me provide you a few other links

My whole point is that if 20% of christians said they support attacks like this then they deserve to be asked.
You said it was racist, I don't see how it is.
