Radical Muslims (al Qaeda): “We shall break the cross and spill the wine. … God will (help) Muslims to conquer Rome. … God enable us to slit their throats, and make their money and descendants the bounty of the mujahideen.” (CNN, September 18, 2006)

Christianity is all about humanity and equality. That was the core of the life of Jesus Christ.” (Crosswalk, September, 2006)
