When the Dean Stockwell Cylon was talkiong about instilling fear to convert humans, and executing them at random to make them fear the Cyclons, he could have said "Allah" and it would not have seemed out of place at all.

Exactly... and over the course of the series, that has consistently been the case.

I must confess, I own the entirety of the first two seasons of BSG on DVD, and I have read the Koran. So I have a pretty well-developed sense of what both are about, and it's stark raving clear to me that cylons represent Islam.

Also, the wimpy President Baltar, is going to get his due..

Not only do Dean Stockwell's Cylon sounds like somebody pushing Islam onto non-willing subjects, the black ski-masked secret police seemed like they would be right at home on the Gaza Strip or West Bank....how many times have we seen Palestinians, etc, dressed in ski-masks terrorizing people...
