On The Plate: Why Don't Christians Rampage, Too?

Around the world, radical Muslims rampage, destroy, and kill when their religion is insulted.  Why don't Christians rampage, destroy, and kill when their religion, and Jesus Christ are insulted?

Because the Lord gives Christians the following command and expectations:

"Do not take revenge, My friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is Mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord." (Romans 12:19)


2 Thessalonians 1:6-7 reads:

"God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels."


Jude 14-15, promises that the following will  happen one day :

“See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of His holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”

Now you see why Christians don't go on rampages, but must patiently wait.
