I'm a Scientologist and off the top of my head Id say:
Scientology as with Islam is not a new religion but a correction/continuation of what has already been set down by previous religions and philosophies.
Both believe man is a spiritual being.
Both believe you help man to raise to greater heights.
Both believe there is a supreme being.
Both talk of the individual doing all he/she can to help others.
Both insist that you help people in need.
Is there any Muslims that can add to this list.

seeing it particularly is one among the standard drivers for faith. it particularly is self-glaring that suffering exists. One has to make up ones suggestions if it particularly is the way it particularly is meant to be or whether it derives from something incorrect. Rational human beings word that suffering would be alleviated and human beings can sense extra perfect and that this sense extra like a organic concern. And there you have the driving force for a quest for a decision to suffering - between the basics underlying faith. So if a guy has an an apprehension of heights while he's particularly completely risk-free and is conscious it, a Scientologist may well be of the suggestions that something is incorrect and that there would desire to be a thank you to restoration it. If a Christian sees a guy who enjoyed his relatives initiate harming them in some way, then he might have faith there replace into something incorrect and that existence may well be extra perfect for that guy and his relatives if it must be fastened. those are rational perspectives in spite of the different ideals a guy would have. it particularly is my opinion that a guy has an rather irrational attitude while he seems on the worldwide with it particularly is financial collapses, slavery, conflict, criminal interest, pedophilia and different brutalities, and exclaim that each and every physique is the way it particularly is meant to be and that there is not any get away from this concern for guy. That guy could in simple terms get used to this because of the fact there is not any changing it. it particularly is insanity. Thank God for faith and for real technological understanding. For the two share the dream that existence would be extra perfect.

Islam (Arabic: الإسلام; al-'islām (help·info)) is a monotheistic religion originating with the teachings of Muhammad, a 7th century Arab religious and political figure. It is the second-largest religion in the world today, with an estimated 1.4 billion adherents, spread across the globe, known as Muslims.[1] Linguistically, Islam means "submission", referring to the total surrender of one's self to God (Arabic: الله, Allāh), and a Muslim is "one who submits (to God)".[2]
Muslims believe that God revealed the Qur'an to Muhammad and that Muhammad is God's final prophet. The Qur'an and the traditions of Muhammad in the Sunnah are regarded as the fundamental sources of Islam.[3][4] Muslims do not regard Muhammad as the founder of a new religion but as the restorer of the original monotheistic faith of Adam, Ibrahim and other prophets whose messages had become corrupted over time (or according to some authorities only misinterpreted).[5][6][7] Like Judaism, Christianity, and the Bahá'í Faith, Islam is an Abrahamic religion.[8]
Today, Muslims may be found throughout the world, particularly in the Middle East and North, West and East Africa. Some of the most populous majority-Muslim countries are in South and Southeast Asia. Other concentrations are found in Central Asia. Only about 20 percent of Muslims originate from Arab countries.[9] Islam is the second largest religion after Christianity in many European countries, such as France, which has the largest Muslim population in Western Europe, and the United Kingdom
Scientology is a body of teachings and related techniques developed by American science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard. It began in 1952 as a self-help philosophy, an outgrowth of his earlier self-help system, Dianetics, and later described itself as a new religion. It says it offers "an exact methodology" to help humans achieve awareness of their spiritual existence across many lifetimes and, simultaneously, to become more effective in the physical world. The name "Scientology" is also used to refer to the often controversial Church of Scientology, the largest organization promoting the practice of Scientology, which is itself part of a network of affiliated corporations that claim ownership and sole authority to disseminate Dianetics and Scientology.
A stated goal of Scientology is to rehabilitate the thetan (roughly equivalent to the soul) to regain its native state of "total freedom." Church spokespeople and practitioners say that Hubbard's teachings (called "Technology" or "Tech" in Scientology terminology) have saved them from many problems and enabled them to better realize their highest potential in business and in their personal lives.[1][2] However, outside observers—including journalists, lawmakers, and national governing bodies of several countries—have alleged that the Church is an unscrupulous commercial enterprise that harasses its critics and brutally exploits its members.[3][4]
Although Scientologists are usually free to practice their beliefs, the organized church has often encountered opposition. While a number of governments now view the Church as a religious organization entitled to the protections and tax relief that such status brings, others view it as a pseudoreligion, a cult, or a transnational corporation

The Evil.
Islam: evil towards women and stone them to death etc.
Scientology: evil towards people regarding finances because they just force people to part with their money.
