Where is the Ad hominem you're refering to? These guys ignore a great deal about the religion, and it disgusts me that you would rather back them up than acknowledge how wrong they were in spreading lies in public settings.
It is you who is ignoring what they said and instead of, let's say, quoting them, you talk about them personally which is why it is called Ad hominem fallacy. Needless to say that kind of approach won't impress anyone here.

I don't think it's fair to compare that with Islam, which remained uncompromising since it began to exist.
Oh, if they're so ok with denominations why were Catholics and protestants killing each other in Ireland till quite recently?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
