Are you a "worshipper of the cross"?
Probably not, even if you are a Christian, insofar as you are not supposed to worship things. But I doubt that matters to al Qaeda.

That's how they rationalize their heresy. Without that trope they would be advocating treating “people of the Book” the same as idolaters and that would be clearly heretical according to the lights of most Muslim sects.
That's the bright line difference between Wahhabists and Salafists: Salafists believe that today's Christians are actually idolatrous “worshippers of the cross” rather than “people of the Book”.

They don't hesitate to threaten or kill Shi'ite Muslims. Why would they strain at threatening and killing Christians? To say nothing of Jews, also Koranic "people of the Book".
Sigh.
