How would a Muslim respond to this statement?

I don't normally respond to other people's answers, but the hatred and ignorance by some people is astounding. However, it's nice to know that most of the answers were intelligent and thoughtful.
Susie: I took this photo on my mobile phone while out for a walk with my son.
Zap: I don't share your beliefs (I'm not Christian either) but I love what came from your heart.

As Lix said -
Jesus said "I Am The Way - The Truth - and The *LIFE* no-one comes to the Father accept though me" - meaning only through Christ we have eternal life with God - if we don't choose Christ - our eternal life will be without God our Creator. Jesus also said "I Am The Light Of The World" He shines in the darkness....
How Muslims would respond - i think depends on the Muslim - there are some who radiate beauty -
My honest opinion - not in the same way Christians relate to a Heavenly Father of all creation -- but lets see if you receive a direct answer from a Muslim

A Muslim might mention that scholars consider John to be the least historically accurate of the four Gospels and that it does not reflect the teachings of Jesus that were preserved in the region to become part of the Qur'an.
John is more a reflection of what Christianity was becoming at the end of the first century than what it was at the beginning.

It all depends on what "Through Me" means.
It could be...
1. Through My teachings and implementing what I say is The Way
2. You've got to face me on Judgement day. I've been where you are so be aware you can't pull any lame excuses for your actions 'cause I've been there!
3. Lieterally, Through Jesus, through accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior.
The different thing about that part of the Bible is that in every other area, Jesus tells us to give our lives, souls, devotion, praise, worship, etc. to God. This is the only area I can recall Him saying "I'm the man!" so I don't know, but I guess we'll find out!

good question as it is a paradox for those of us who don't understand. Why would a prophet say something that is unacceptible? Any patient Muslims out there ready to enlighten us a bit and help us non Muslims understand? I'd like to know this, just to understand a bit further.

That would be a paradox when they are taught that Jesus was a prophet. Then again, Most Muslims don't know the Qaaran any better than most Christians know the Bible.

Muslims would agree that Jesus said that, but would say that they can get to the Father through Muhammad also. hence
It is He Who sent down to thee (step by step), in truth, the Book, confirming what went before it; and He sent down Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the Criterion (of judgment between right and wrong).
(The Qur'an (Yusuf Ali tr), Surah 3)
Muslims believe in Christ and all the messengers that came before him. Christians reject Muhammad as the bringer of the next revelation in the same way that the Jews rejected Christ.

The Bible is the only known source about Jesus' life and teachings, yet Muslims say it is "corrupted" and pick and chose what they believe or not. It must fit in with their own beliefs or they say it has been 'corrupted'. How they know one part is corrupted yet not another part is beyond my understanding.
I don't see many Muslims scurrying to explain this yet.

John14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

I'm not sure Jesus actually said that. The gospels were written by man several hundred years after Jesus' time.
