You can hate me. You can send me hate mail. You can call me a whore infidel.
But you can't call me a liar.
Where IS the PEACE?

Careful. Muslims have killed people for less.

Here's the main part of the wikipedia definition of 'cult' that YOU posted:
'a cult is a cohesive group of people (often a relatively small and recently founded religious movement) devoted to beliefs or practices that the surrounding culture or society considers to be far outside the mainstream. Its separate status may come about either due to its novel belief system, because of its idiosyncratic practices or because it opposes the interests of the mainstream culture.'
1. Islam is neither relatively small nor recently founded.
2. The culture and society surrounding Islamic countries do NOT consider it to be outside the mainstream.
3. It's belief system is not 'novel', it is antiquated and established, kinda like Christianity.
4. Idiosyncratic? See above #3.
5. It does NOT oppose the interests of the mainstream culture, as the mainstream culture of Muslim countries IS Islamic.
I don't hate you, you're not a 'liar', you're merely uninformed and biased, and as to disproving your 'cult' theory...QED. Done that.

Do you really want peace of mind?
You have to prove yourself whether your view to other faiths vise-versa or not.If you are trying to find the negative about any faith you will see the negative result only.
Why do we hate you? Why do we send hate mail? Why do we call you with unpolite name?
If you are trying to say you are not a liar so i suggest you to accept the truth.
You need to open your mouth and mind instead of shutting up because i really respect whatever you are and wish you to ask more questions but with regards to all.

Let's assume that you are right, and Islam is a cult.
Is Christianity also a cult then?
What about Judaism?
Hinduism?
Taoism?

Islam is as peaceful as any other major religion. With the exception of Buddhism, which is more peaceful than any of the others.
All religions are equally "cultish"...

All religions are cults, even the so-called "personal relationship" cults of Jesus.
