True.
What kind of religion of peace says that anyone criticizing it must be killed?
Islam has all the hallmarks of a classical cult.
You must submit (join) or live in dhimmitude (servitude) or die. And, once a member, the penalty for leaving is death. And you can never criticize Islam.
Oh, and, if you are a woman, you are a slave.
Don't forget other classical signs like giving up your previous identity (taking on an Islamic name) when joining the cult, severing ties with non-cult members ("do not take the unbelievers as friends") denying them some form of critical analysis, instead and relying on the support network of the cult, paying it part of your earnings (zakat), leading it's followers into destructive and antisocial behavior, the deception used in the recruitment process by not clearly identifying their purpose, the sexual exploitation of it's female members, using "coercive persuasion" over "normal" persuasion,and ultimately, what they would like do to those why try and leave.
All you have said is true. Kinda makes me wonder how it has grown to include such a following. There is no way I'll ever understand why a thinking person, especially a woman, would ever choose Islam.
