25. You didn't read the article, did you?
You might find this passage interesting:

But a worshipper at the Finsbury Park Mosque, Omar Faruk, said Islam allowed for people to fight against foreign oppression in Muslim countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan and he defended Abu Hamza's right to speak up on behalf of oppressed Muslims.

"People like Abu Hamza, they don't mess about, they tell you what's in the Koran. He's been held accountable for what's in the Koran," he said.


Sounds much like the reaction you ascribe to "US Christian leaders." Muslims and Christians are not monoliths: some Muslims are glad Hamza is going to jail and others defend him, just as some Christians support Robertson and others consider him a disgrace.
