But the real reason for saying the Westboro Baptist Church is not Christian is the same reason as saying the ‘Islamic State’ is not Islamic: The speaker or writer is trying to say that he is not bigoted in general against the religion the fanatics claim to be a part of. It’s a way to say to non-fanatical Christians and/or Muslims that they are not the ones targeted by the speaker.

As Sergey pointed out, the reasons for saying it differ according to the speaker. Have you looked at the timeline of the woman ausador was responding to? I think not, because if you had you’d know that she was clearly asserting is that what Muslim fanatics do is acceptable standard practice in Islam, whereas bad/violent behavior by Christians isn’t acceptable standard practice in Christianity.

IOW, it’s okay to paint Muslims with the same ugly brush, but not Christians because Christianity is morally/ethically superior. Naturally, she’s cherry-picking verses and totally talking out of her ass, making her utter ignorance of what is or isn’t acceptable standard Islamic practice WRT jihad (or anything else for that matter) obvious.
