Scientology is still less of a cult than islam.

I am hesitant to explain my simple post that Scientology doesn’t concern me by comparison while remaining germane to the subject of the OP. I had no idea I would get 50+ downvotes and get called an idiot so it seems I need to explain myself.

A cult is a belief system considered to be unorthodox, extremist, or sinister with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader involving bizarre and even evil rituals. Some examples include:

1. Questioning or doubt about islam among muslims is discouraged and even punishable. Leaving islam is considered apostacy and punishable by death. Muslim girls are not permitted to marry non-muslim lest they be disowned by the family or worse.

2. Islam is not a religion but a complete social, political, judicial, and economic system. It dictates every aspect of life and how a person is allowed or demanded to behave.

3. Islam tolerates no other belief system; they are elitists. While people of the book (Christians and Jews) may have their lives spared if they pay a tax, they are still of the lower class humans.
