Wood is simply a bigot who can't seem to grasp that the actions of a handful of butchering loons are not representative of an entire group.

True, you can find problems with Jesus, which Christians magically filter out of their brains. But the core religious motivators are (a) the example of your prophet that you are meant to imitate and (b) the conditions for entry into heaven. In this regard, Islam is infinitely more violent than Christianity because (a) Mohammed was infinitely more violent than Jesus and (b) Allah promises heaven for those who die fighting in the cause of Allah.
And these are not a handful of unrepresentative loons, the terrorists have the more credible interpretation of Islamic scripture.

So if Christians want Jesus to return they should want to get killed for their faith. Who knows when the magic number will be reached?
