The difference is that I have yet to read of a vengeful offended Christian attempting to gun down an artist, a gallery, or its patrons.  -  Tarnation

Well, stay tuned.  Remember that Christian culture had a time a few centuries ago when non-believers got smacked around pretty good.  Islam as an organized religion is about 500+ years younger so maybe what goes around comes around when it comes fringe nutjobs in the tent.

No, but we have seen vengeful offended Christians do some pretty horrible things

Can't deny any of those....but the question remains:  When has a Christian lashed out in violence at a gallery displaying "Piss Christi"?

More on this nutjob and her cohorts:

The great poet Maya Angelou once said, "Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet." Sadly, such wisdom is lost on the likes of Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, and Geert Wilders, the unholy trinity of professional Islamophobia. They make their living off of preaching hatred of Islam, benefitting financially and politically from dehumanizing and demonizing Muslims.

It is in their capacity as professional Islamophobes that Geller and Spencer helped to organize the "Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest" in Garland, Texas. The event, which featured Wilders as one of the main
speakers, was intended to cause as much offense and ridicule as possible to Muslims by inviting cartoonists to draw incendiary pictures of Islam's revered Prophet. It was also an effort to exploit the tragedy of the Charlie Hebdo shootings in Paris in January in order to maximize media exposure for themselves and the American Freedom Defense Initiative, the organization co-founded by Geller and Spencer that sponsored the event.
