ji hadi

Think about the attributes of a religious cult.
1. A leader (dead or alive) who is considered absolutely infallible.
2. Proscribed food and dress. Everyone must adhere to the standard.
3. Repetitive and frequent sessions to reinforce behaviour.
4. Violent and often brutal treatment of backsliders or people that wish to leave.
5. A cult tells you what God is like. There is no individual contact with God.
6. Regulation of every aspect of the day. From dawn to dusk.
7. The leader often breaks his own rules set for the others.
8. Outsiders are demonised and cult members are discouraged from contact or friendship with people outside the cult.
9. Cults are never tolerant.

11. Emulation of the leader.
12. Absolute certainty that they are right. No doubt is allowed or encouraged.

5. No muslims are allowed to talk to God themselves. They are told how God is. Only the top guy is allowed to have had divine contact and they then limit God’s ability to talk to anyone else.
6. The whole day is full of prayers and all behaviour from eating to washing to going to the toilet has rules.
7. Mohammed frequently broke his own rules saying it was okay for him. For instance, he said no man can have more than four wives but he himself had eleven.
8. The Koran is full of exhortations like “show harshness to unbelievers” or to “take not Jews or Christians for friends”.
9. The barbarity of Islamic terrorists is obvious.
10. Saying “peace be upon him” every time they mention muhammed’s name is an e
