Cult or Religion?

There is a site in the Internet that talks about cults. I chose one of them to compare it with Islam. I could have chosen any one of them; all the cults are essentially the same.

SUPREME TRUTH

Shoko Asahara, Japanese man founded a cult called the Aum Supreme truth “This apocalyptic sect and its charismatic, blind leader are suspected of releasing Sarin gas in five Tokyo subway stations the morning of March 20, 1995, killing 12 people (one dying a year after the attack) and sickening more than 5,500 others. The religious cult is also suspected of a similar gas attack in June, 1994 in Matsumoto, a town north of Tokyo, that killed seven people and wounded 144. Furthermore they are suspected of a series of slayings and kidnappings of anti-cult activists and of preparing to overthrow the Japanese government -- all in the name of "good karma."

ISLAM (SUBMISSION)

1400 years ago, Muhammad an illiterate charismatic Arab founded a monotheistic cult called Islam. To promote his religion he prescribed holy wars (jihad). He taught that next to prayers and fasting, waging war against the disbelievers is the most praiseworthy and meritorious act. He was a single-minded man who stopped at nothing to achieve his goal. He burned tree plantations that belonged to the people he wanted to exterminate. He used to get into battlefields before his opponents and destroy the water-wells. He surrounded and cut the water supply to a quarter where a Jewish population used to live. After they surrendered he put to death all the men and boys who had reached puberty. He took the boys pants off to examine if they have grown pubic hair. If they had, this was enough for enough evidence of their guilt and he killed them, 600 to 900 of them in one occasion. Then he sold the women and children as slaves. Muhammad also killed his opponents and critics by assassinating them in the middle of the night.

Islam er en religion akkurat som Kristendommen er. Mange som prøver å si at Islam er en kult, men folk har jo sagt at Her og Nå er en avis også.. :o

islam er selvsagt en religion, men det som er skremmende er at flere land blander Islam og politikk. og DA kommer problemene. dessuten lager menneskene sine egne regler, som ikke har NOE med islam å gjøre, som at feks kvinnene skal dekke seg til, det står visstnok ikke i Koranen.
