And for those who do not wish to read the article, here is just one piece from it.

"2. Muslims are encouraged to commit violence in the name of Islam.

Muslim theological documents — the Koran, Hadith, and Sunna — are filled with statements which encourage devout Muslims to commit violence in the name of Islam.

Here are just a few:

Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them(2:191)
Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood (9:123)
When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them (9:5)
Kill the Jews and the Christians if they do not convert to Islam or refuse to pay Jizya tax (9:29)
Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable (3:85)
The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them (9:30)
Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam (5:33)
The infidels are unclean; do not let them into a mosque (9:28)
Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies (22:19)
Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them (47:4)
The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them (8:65)
Muslims must not take the infidels as friends (3:28)
Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an (8:12)
Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels

In addition to the Muslim theological documents mentioned above, Islamic social norms encourage violence. It is widely noted that Friday is the most likely day when jihad attacks will occur within Muslim society. This is because the mullahs use their Friday pulpits to encourage their flock to commit violence in the name of Islam.

In Muslim societies, even the media become involved in the incitement to violence. MEMRI.org has translated thousands of articles from print and electronic media. These translated articles are filled with direct incitement to commit violence in the name of Islam.

Remarkably, some of the most glaring examples of incitement to violence come from new “converts” to Islam. Why would a new convert to Islam commit violence? The obvious answer is the “theological” incitement from their new religion — Islam’s core texts.

There is an unfortunate PC effort to deny, ignore and whitewash this Islam inspired violence. The amount of violence committed worldwide since 9/11 is simply too high to overlook.

The web site The Religion of Peace has been collecting, counting, and publishing a list of deadly Islamic terror attacks worldwide since 9/11/2001. As of January 1, 2014 the number was 22,178. Don’t let the PC crowd tell you it is just the same as the Christians, Buddhists, Hindus or the Jews — make them prove it."
 
Islam is no more a cult than Christianity or Judaism is. Granted, all religions are cultish in a lot of ways, but let's not pretend that any of them are better than the others.

Are you proposing reviving the inquisition?

Your article and post quoted a few lines of the Qu'ran, but missed some others. In fact, 9:6 (which comes directly after 9:5 you quoted above) says:

"And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah . Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are a people who do not know."

The Qur'an is a collection of ignorance and of contradictions, just like the Bible, the Bhagvad Gita, the Torah etc etc etc. Funny how woe befalls any atheist who quotes the bible 'out of context' but you are free to do the same to the Qur'an.
 
Cue the "Crusades" and "Inquisitions" deflection in 3...2....

Maybe you should keep reading that to verse 12.

"And if they break their oaths after their treaty and defame your religion, then fight the leaders of disbelief, for indeed, there are no oaths [sacred] to them; [fight them that] they might cease."

I know, and I said as much: the Qur'an is a book of ignorance and contradiction and not something I adhere to in the slightest. However, read on further and you will find:

Two Hundred Verses about Compassionate Living in the Quran | The Muslim Times

Again, funny how it's ok to quote other peoples holy books out of context, or just assume literal meaning out of it rather than it being parables, or assume exact translation work given different meanings in its original language. Those are the three most common defences the bible has against it being an amoral piece of scrap, when in fact, both the bible and the qur'an are.
 
I don't think Islam is a cult. It is interesting though, that one thing I notice about "cults" is that there's this constant seeming requirement to compare it to "legit" religions. Conversations about Christianity or Judaism or Hinduism are rarely greeted with "yeah, but what about Islam."

Isn't a Jihad actually what you guys are trying to start? A holy war against the heathen Muslims?

"Even today I am not ashamed to say that, overpowered by stormy enthusiasm, I fell down on my knees and thanked Heaven from an overflowing heart for granting me the good fortune of being permitted to live at this time." -Mein Kampf

"Any violence which does not spring from a spiritual base, will be wavering and uncertain. It lacks the stability which can only rest in a fanatical outlook." -Mein Kampf

What distinction are you making between Islam and every other religion. Why not title your op "Calling Religion for what it really is" ?

Crap?

Cite one cult that has ever tried to compare itself with legit religions. Link please.

Yes, those 21 Decapitated Coptic Christians were the actual terrorists.
 
You see no comparison with the cult that was Hitler's Regime to the Islamic Religion?

No moreso than the christian religion. I am an outsider, they all look nutty to me.

Is that the excuse you are going to use to take us to war with how many hundreds of millions?

I'm showing you how Islam itself functions as a cult, based on other cults throughout history. The comparisons are exactly the same. No one dies in the Christian religion for leaving the Christian religion, and many more if you took the time to read the article.
