Here's the deal, Jesus said in the Bible that to get to heaven we must enter through the narrow gate. Muslims claim that Muhammed and the Quran are simply the last revelation of their god who they claim is the same as the Christian God. If the teachings of the Bible are valid for muslims and only the narrow gate is doing the right thing could it be that the minority "radical" muslims that are responsible for 9/11 and other bombings are actually interpreting their Quran correctly?

No, personally, I do not think that is correct. Anyone can mis-interpret any religious doctrine to make it support their cause. If this were true, then why are there billions of peaceful Muslims and only a tiny percentage of radicals and extremists? Just my opinion...

I find your interpretation of "narrow gate" rather interesting. By your argument, then, only the minority sects of Christianity will be entering the Kingdom, if only the minority Wahhabists can enter.
Perhaps Jesus meant something different from numbers when he used the term. Perhaps he meant the gate was narrow because it meant those who look only to His words and Message for their way of living-just as Muslims should look only to the words of their Message for theirs, without interpretation from ideological mullahs who are more interested in politics than the soul.

They interrupt to what they understood whether it was right or not.
They are wrong committing Suicide is like telling God I am sick and tired of doing your work. That' my view at least.
The narrow gate is anology that I always refer to. It's the same as saying the road to heaven is rough and rocky while the road to hell is all smooth sailing. I'd rather take the rough road.

Islam doesn't call for terrorism,terrorists interpret the verses in a wrong way exactly like Christians do.and i assure you most of the Muslims are not terrorists not like the media says.
Muhammad (pbuh) said: anyone who causes harm to a man of the book(Christian or Jew) then he has caused harm to me....
Muhammad (pbuh) said: anyone who kills a man of the book won't smell the smell of heaven, and it's smell can be smelled from a distance of 40 years walking.

The "radical" muslims are actually interpreting the Quran correctly. They are not corrupting the religion (as our Pres sez), they are upholding it. Pretty scary stuff.

The problem is that the quaran is merely abook of rules taught by man. radical religion of man.
The Bible is the Book of Truth authored by GOD and written by man.
Supernatural revelation of GOD.

It may be possible, I can't be sure because I didn´t read a Quran

Well just because they are interpreting it right doesn't make it right. What makes muhammed right if he says killing innocent people Allah made is right?

I agree. As with Christianity, the fundamentalists actually have better theology.
