In defense of the "cult" statement......any religious entity that resorts to a level of terror and violence to attain its degree of compliance from its practitioners or those it wishes to convert may well be regarded as a "cult"
Certainly christianity during its dark days would be regarded as such with burnings at the stake, torture in widespread use, all the bad things that went on during the "inquisitions"......
A degree of civility is in order for Islam to fully shake its deserved reputation as a cult of hatred and intolerance currently unsurpassed by any other religious entity in the known world.
It takes only a few that eschew violence to spread an attitude of disbelief amongst westerners as to the legitimacy of Islam as a civilized religion of "peace"
