Jews pray 3 times a day at the same times.
Jews fast on certain holidays at the same time.
Going on the Hajj is not done by other religions, so it's not valid. That's like me saying Judaism is the most organized because it has the largest amount of people celebrating Hannukah at the same time.
Jews celebrate all holidays at the same time: Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Purim, Passover, Hannukah, Sukkot, Simchat Torah, etc.
I do not know which religion is the most organized, but I do know that your explanation for Islam was invalid. After all, what are the criteria for being organized? Also, as I mentioned earlier, other religions also do what you mentioned Muslims did. As for the Hajj, that is so unique to one religion that you can't use it as a basis for comparison between religions. After all, if it could be used, one could also argue that Catholicism is more organized because all Catholics listen to the same pope. (As you know, Islam has no pope.)
By the way, an argument that could be against your view would be that there is a division is Islam (Shiite and Sunni). If the religion is so organized, how could it have Sunnis not doing some of what the Shiites do and vice-versa?
I'm not saying that Islam isn't organized, but I just don't think your explanation proved your point.

Yes Islam is organised not only because of the way our beautiful religion guides us but also for the support and love we have for fellow Muslims no matter where in the world they maybe.

Not if the major sects feel a need to kill each other over silly delusional minutia. They are acting like the Irish with their sectarian hatred. I guess you could call Muslims, Dessert Irish because of this type of behavior.

I am Muslim.... Proud 2 b
Christians also celebrate at the same time..like Christmas, and thanks giving... they pray in church on Sunday... they same way when Muslims pray on Friday
but Islam is more organized, in my opinion...we as you said
1- pray (5 times ,,, each time has special time)
2- fast (Ramadan)
3- we do ZAKAT (its the time you give money or anything to poor people before celebrating Eid (should be before),, each year
3-celebrate 2 times in a year . one after Ramadan,, and the other after Hajj.....
but other religions are also organized...:)
I am just giving more details,,, lol ;)

im a chirstian and im PROUD to say that they are... why?
Well becasue their beliefs are based off rules and regulations. Their faith is like some kind of contest.
Being a christian doesnt mean i have a religion, i have a relationship with God.
Alot of people my age are depressed, and until recently i couldnt figure out why until one guy said "you wuoldnt understand.. youre too happy."
and i guess i am. Being in "Love" with God is like a definition for christianity.
I dont have to pray in ridiculous positions or travel to a certain city for God to love me... he loves me becasue he created and reedemed me.
