Merriam-Webster's definition of cult: "a small religious group that is not part of a larger and more accepted religion and that has beliefs regarded by many people as extreme or dangerous"
According to the Pew Research Center, Islam represents 23.2% of the global population, compared to 31.5% represented by Christianity. For further comparison, Judaism represents 0.2%. So, as funny as all of this nonsense is (and I am thoroughly enjoying this thread!), Islam is not a cult. Sorry, Christians.
The history of Islam is that it began as "a small religious group, not part of a larger more accepted religion."
They persecuted the Jews and the Christians.
Learn some history, so you don't post things that make you look like an ignoramus.
Islam is a made-up "religion." They were an offshoot of no other religion.
Every religion on Earth started as a cult...and they're all still cults. I don't know what separates a legitimate religion from a cult in your mind, but I've never been able to find out.
That's beside the whole point anyway. Americans have a right to join a cult.

Lol..wow.
Jesus supposedly had 12 disciples. Wow...such a large following, huh?
Is that a "small religious group?" And to boot, it's an offshoot of Judaism, which was a small sect in those times too comparatively. Most people in the world were animists, pagans, or polytheists.
Islam persecuted Jews and Christians?
Christianity was FOUNDED by a persecutor AND murderer of early Christians.

My cheeks hurt so bad from all the laughter!! Wow. I can't even respond any further because I would feel bad. I'm embarrassed for you now and so I will give you a break.
Many reasons? Tell me the difference between a Pentecostal Church getting approval vs a mosque in similar retail space.
We are still awaiting the councils reason for rejection.
I don't know, I didn't read their applications. But they could be the same and it wouldn't matter. Maybe they granted the church a variance and they had complaints or problems and decided not to do it again. Is there any law that requires them to give a reason for every vote they make?

Oh, really? Are you talking about Paul? Christianity was not "founded" by Paul.

I'm surprised you didn't say, "Wow, just wow."
Jesus proved who he was by the miracles he preformed. Did Mohammad preform miracles? No. He didn't.
Scripture tell us that thousands were saved upon hearing the Gospel.
Go do some study. You are making yourself look like a fool.

Yeah, you keep that fear alive, I am sure the Muslims are here to take over the country. Maybe we should put them in camps and start killing them off....I am sure nothing bad will come of this.

I'm curious.
How are you going to "ban Islam" ?
