When will Islam get Allah's wrath

Dear Dr. Pipes:

Muslims adamently stick to their beliefs. I have heard this argument that Jews and Christians were Allah's chosen people but they deviated from Allah's path and so Allah's wrath is incurred upon them. I am wondering Muslims have ever deviated from Allah's path and when will Allah's wrath fall up on them. Is beheading people, committing terrorist acts, and participating in suicide bombing included in Allah's prescribed path? If actions of some muslims do not invite Allah's wrath on all muslims, why would the God's wrath fall on all Jews or Christians for the acts of some Jews or Christians?
