"If you really cannot see the distinction between the windy utterances and the symbolic but non-destructive to any particular individual, other than emotionally, of Westboro on the one hand; and the "let's kill all the bastards" approach of Boko Haram, whose leader & spokesman just this last week publicly & emphatically proclaimed the pleasure and delight he took in killing the enemies of Allah," MtheGM

You would have a job convincing any Muslim, however peacefully inclined, that there is any more than a mildly quantitative difference between your utterances here and those of the Boko Haram leader.

Qualitatively, you and he are equally guilty of condemning a whole culture, based upon a flawed stereotype.
