I also like @GenFlynn called it the creation of a “digital army” ;)
J Smith created the same impetus in LDS. While he lacked the push (sword), he ingeniously created an even greater pull. Using the 1A as an umbrella, the state had no effective means to combat a team of pedo-rapists from first kidnapping, and then having each others' friend "marry" them (many multiple times I might add). Is it any wonder that out of the untold multitude religions created nearly 200 years ago, only three have survived? (LDS, JW, CS)
As a devout atheist, I'm in a unique position to evaluate the success/failure of different religions. Like any good marketing campaign, they need to be designed for a particular audience. Xian appeals to the inherent good in people, while Islam decided to emphasize the dark side. With history as a guide, we can see the general population is pretty much evenly divided.
If I were considering religion, I'd look hard and long at Islam. Lots of upside and very little, if any downside. State protection, shielded from criminal prosecution, large established apologist organizations. I mean, who wouldn't love to be a perpetual whiny victim while committing multiple crimes on a regular basis?
Wow! When I went to the Twitter feed just now, I saw no push-back to Romney. I guess the criticism has been scrubbed.

It is hard for me to conceive that Gen. Flynn is not part of the Q team.
I'm wondering if he will have a future public role after he is exonerated by reversal (in light of "New evidence") or pardon.
Okay.
And I see from the post at 104 that I misquoted Q.

In modern times, Islam pulls in followers the way you mention. But historically, it’s been the Koran or the sword.
Joseph Smith made a statement (paraphrasing) that of all other religions, he considered Islam the best. Islam and LDS have a lot in comment.
Seems not different to me, but I’ve only checked in for a few minutes twice, and just came to the Q thread and my pings.
Thank you, I will read that. The American Thinker has a lot of good articles.
I am not in a jolly mood today and need cheering up.
I don’t believe Zoros ever caused harm to others. I read about its origins but can’t remember the details. Tolerance of other practices and beliefs is a very good thing, which sadly has been exploited in India by religions who were (are) not tolerant.
Ever read “Crimes Against India”? By Stephen Knapp, very well researched. I could only read abut 5 pages at a time, so horrific.
I saw no push-back to Romney.
The criticism was overwhelming. I suppose Mittens is too thin-skinned to leave criticism up, especially when its coming from Trump supporters.
Poor baby.
I hear you it would make me sad. Like when I read about the indigenous Christian Church of India which dated back to the very early days Anno Domine and happily co-existed with all the other Hindu, Moslem, and Sikh sects, but was brutally and effectively suppressed by the English and the Portuguese as heresy, resulting in source documents of immense historical import being consigned to the flames. Like the great library at Alexandria.

I have been looking for a book to read this sounds good and something I know very little about...thank you, I think I will investigate about reading it...
Good links, thanks!
Could be. My thought processes comes from the drop that speaks of Justice Scalia’s death (AS, at that time was sussed to intend Scalia by the Anons, but it still could have been Schiffty?).
The drop had the 187 in brackets, indicating to me that it was a controlled (planned] murder.

May I also suggest American Betrayal by Diana West?
I, and a few other whom I know who have read it, consider it one of the most important books ever written about America.
