The fact that it is a billion plus large is only unimportant because it shows that it is a cult. The mere fact that it is JUST a billion plus should be one fact that it is a cult considering that those that leave it are killed and those that critique it negatively are killed, it should be at least 2 billion strong.

Unless those that can leave it or not become a part of it in the first place choose to do so. The operative word here is “choose.” Since one born into that cult can’t get out under penalty of death. The size of the cult cannot help but grow. So any spurious claims of legitimacy based on the number of members it has is not only meaningless, but ludicrous.

If something, smells like a cult, operates like a cult, it is a cult. All the acceptance by the world’s “authorities” on religion not withstanding, IT IS A CULT. Interestingly, the part of the world accepting islam as a mainstream religion is made up of men. That makes sense as they are the only ones benefiting from the constrictions and controls the cult places upon its female members.

Really big of the men on of the world to set aside islam’s abuse of its female members, to see a bigger picture of the “good” it does for mankind. In this case they do mean “man’s kind” only.

Wonderful discussion ladies. You have diagnosed the affliction of islam and the defense of it my men very accurately. The present situation on Guam where the archbishop has declared an attack upon him for being a pedophile is an attack upon the church is similar to muslim men declaring an attack upon them using islam to enslave and practice pedophilia among its female constituency is an attack upon the religion itself.

I say to those men if you are so sure about the merits of islam, then remove your threat of death to those who wish to leave it, or critique it. Surely if allah is as great as you say he is, he will not be hurt by a little criticism or a few non believers leaving his cult.
