Jesus the answer
The world is evil, in general. Americans included. Jesus IS the only answer. (Chris, I think that people do not want the revolution to happen, for it would mean changing our priorities!)
If Jesus is the ONLY answer, it must have been a silly question. After having two thousand years to change the world, during which the major colonial powers were Christian, you say the world is still evil? Time for a fresh approach.

History
History can't be used to generalize for people that believe in God today. I didn't take part in the Spanish Inquisition, I have killed no Indians. And I am Christian.
You don`t get off the hook that easily, Prophex. Those Christ-killers through history were using the same dogma that captures you today. No essential re-writes took place in Scriptures to clean up Christianity. Religion bends the Scriptures to suit whatever suits its purpose. Another society? Teach them our superior ways and kill those who resist. Another religion? Kill them as pagans or infidels. Another Christian interpretation? Torture and kill the heretics. All in the name of love. Still going on today. As long as Christians justify their actions from the Scriptures, anything goes. When they eventually accept the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as the prime arbiter of human behavior, we might see a change, but I`m not holding my breath.

Re: History
PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF CHRISTIANS KILLING IN THE NAME OF GOD TODAY
We`re not talking about you, or Nazis or capitalists, we`re talking about religion in action. It`s the doctrine that enables killers to justify their actions. Whether a Jew blowing up a refugee camp, an Islamic terrorist taking out civilians on trains, or a Christian using 'smart bombs' that go astray and wipe out unarmed women and children, all can find justification. Till religionists stop pointing the finger at others and start cleaning out their own nest, they will be tarred with the same brush.
Try these sites for Christians in action. You do remember Bosnia, don`t you?
http://www.gendercide.org/case_kosovo.html
The 1995 gendercide on Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica - Gendercide
If you want a roll-call of the last 60 odd years, I sure I can dig it up.

Re: History
Islam doesn't tell people to kill people, the 'terrorist' usually has motives relative to land, holy city occupation, or political opposition.
Read a little Wahabbi history.
