True, and by definition (if you are a Christian) ANY other religion is evil and wicked. Jesus said "I am THE way," not "A way," so that excludes the "can't-we-all-just-agree-that-we-served-the-same-God" crowd.

But the fact that all non-Christians are, by definition "wicked" doesn't make them all terrorists. It means people like the poet Bertrand Russell, who only wanted "peace," are as wicked as Mohammad Atta, but certainly not as violent in this life. That is why there are many, MANY Muslims who either disagree with the Koran (the way many, MANY Christians disagree with parts ot the Bible and sometimes ignore what they don't like), or who have never learned their own religion well enough to know what is in the Koran (again, like many, MANY Christians).

In all due respect, what is your point?

People who choose a life of hatred and violence will always find a rationale, be it in the Bible, the Koran or the writings of L. Ron Hubbard.

Jesus said "I am THE way,"

Right, but how does that work? He explained the idea two hundred ways so if one didn't get it one way maybe it would come another. It is much clearer, IMHO, what one is to do from Mt 9:13.
