Now you firstly state that a person who uses violence in the name of Christianity is not a "True Christian", you then go on to name a *specific* act committed by Muslims *without* suggesting or even *hinting* that just because they "used violence in the name of Islam" they weren't "True Muslims".

Hmm, I fail to see that Graham.
Russ didn't say the hijackers were muslim. They may consider themselves to be muslim, you (if inferred from what you just said) consider them to be muslim ("a *specific* act committed by Muslims").
You therefore (using your arguments against Russ) consider muslims to be terrorists.
But I know you don't. Using a bit of common sense, I can see that even though you refered to the people who flew the planes into the twin towers as muslim, you know that they were not following true islam, but some warped version of it.
Just the same, Russ chose to only deal with the fact that christianity does not teach hatred nor violence, as that is something he knows about for sure.
If he were to extend that to an unknown religion such as islam, then he would be making claims which although he may be pretty sure are true, he would not be able to back up.
