I couldn't have put it better myself. I would add that these bad people (jihadists, terrorists) cant call themselves Muslim because they obviously do not follow the criteria to be Muslim. Also (if you're from the UK like me you'd understand), don't you feel its a coincidence that Lee rigby's killers happen to me 'Muslim converts'? For all I know, anyone can go out, with a hat and a little facial hair, commit a horrific murder, and say 'Allahu Akbar'. That makes them Muslim terrorists. It really hurts me how every shocking murder somehow involves links to Islam, when really, we didn't do anything.
Also, you don't have to be good to go to heaven. Being good has absolutely nothing to do with it. Sure, it's obviously preferred to not be a bad person but there is no requirement that says you can't sin. It is human nature to sin and mess up but that's why Jesus came. He died for our sins because he loves us. All we have to do is believe that that is true and we get to go to heaven. Being good won't get you anywhere but loving Jesus will get you everywhere.
