by cult I mean it seems as rebelious kids and tattoos(back in the day) or Goth (rebelling against the norm), I dont down play there right to believe in what they want but to grow as a belief that the only way for there heaven is a genocide of everyone else does not make sence, so I question the pull of such a "religion". I do believe the stronger control history, just like pluto is no longer a planet....but it doesnt make sence , there is no more truth anymore, the true history has been wiped out long ago and rewritten many times over.....

Do you know anything about religious history? Have you read any holy texts? Islam is not a cult, at least not any more than any other religion is. Please get the facts straight before you post such slander. I suggest you read "No God but God" by Aslan. It's very engaging and informative.

Yes, it is indeed interesting to see the reasons for such a phenomenal growth of Muslims who are 1.5 Billion strong today. If you say Islam spread only because of sword that is not fully true. Look at Indonesia.A Muslim country where no wars were fought.The religion was spread by traders. In the Indian subcontinent there were many conversions. One of the main causes for the fast growth to my mind is the permission Islam accords to have four wives. This way the growth becomes more than geometric.

How can you call this a cult?
Do you not realize that to cast a stone, requires a brick to be thrown back at you?
Why should western civilization think they are right?
In Muslim eyes we are they great Satan.
We are a cult.
Who's to say we are right or they are wrong.
History is wrote by the winners, not necessarily the ones who are right.

A tyrannical system like the Muslim faith grows because of human nature. People who bite the hand that feeds them are always eager to lick the boot that kicks them.
