I agree with you there. But although I am a Christian, I don't feel an obligation to speak out when Eric Rudolph kills a doctor (e.g.).

If you were a leader of the chuch to which he professed allegiance, and if he was one of dozens who professed such allegiance and carried out the same kinds of attacks, and if their conduct was supported by many people with in your congregation, then you would either speak out against their conduct in particular*, or I would say that you were part of the problem.
*by "in particular" I mean not saying "killing is bad, whether done by bombers or doctors"
eta: Strike "congregation," insert "denomination."
