In the wrong hands almost any religeon can be twisted for unjust purposes, and I'm staying nuetral, I'm not attacking anything just making a point Uh... hate to break it to you, but that's not an example of Christian extremism.

"Extremism" is defined as "taking something to the greatest degree". With religion this means being extremily devout and devoted, following every commandment and rule.

In Christianity, if you truly follow every commandment and rule, you would be the nicest person in the world. A Christian "extremist" would give all their money to charity, spend their life building hospitals in Etheopia, and helping old ladies cross the street.

What you described isn't a Christian "extremist", but a deviation away from Christianity. Somebody warping the original message to suit their purpose is not "extremism".

Wheren lies the difference between Islam and Christianity. Christianity is, at its core, a peaceful religion that some factions warp into being warlike. Islam is, at its core, a warlike religion that some of its followers try to make more peaceful.
