Can glass or fake diamonds cut glass?

I have what I think is a diamond ring, the stone cuts glass quite easily. Is it true that only a real diamond can cut glass? thanks...

    Glass is a very soft material and there are a lot of things that can scratch it. The only way to know for certain if the stone is a diamond it to take it ot a jewler and have it appraised.
