That's a valid point, but it's one after the fact. I don't think it would be fair to label him as a Christian terrorist as — in the moment of committing the act in question — he was doing it against the teachings. That was the reason I mentioned Judaism. Some acts are permitted by their books. So, while there isn't one in this case, you could call someone a Jewish terrorist, but not a Christian.

I am merely arguing for them since they seem to be having difficulty doing it themselves for some reason.

And that's something that should change. But people take a long time to get over preconceptions and being scaredy cats doesn't help them any.
