The difference is that if you were talking about an US president, you wouldn't refer to him as "a Christian person".

To be fair to friendly_chap, I don't think there's anything wrong with saying

"So if I dare to repeat a possibly threatening sentence said by a Jewish person I am instantly antisemitic?"

or

"So if I dare to repeat a possibly threatening sentence said by a Christian person I am instantly anti-Christian?"

Neither am I. But I don't think that would have any effect in this matter.

Also, it's widely known that the US president is a Muslim.

Are you being sarcastic? In any case, I said an US president; I wasn't referring to the current one.
