Individual people can claim whatever they want, that doesn't mean their claims have any merit. There isn't anything, just absolutely nothing, in Christian books (New Testament) that says that violence in any shape of form is an acceptable way to spead the Good News.
What you're trying to do is similar to pointing at a drug dealer and saying that selling drugs on every street corner is legal because that's what these guys do. Or like pointing at thepiratebay or extabit and saying that copyright infringement is legal because they do it.
