I am amazed that anyone could be converted by reading it that my only thought is that they refuse to admit they can't understand it and think it makes them look smart to have other people think they do.

I read a book on social psych a while ago. The book explained that the usual method for being a cult leaders is to say a bunch of baloney that doesn't make any sense and just serves to confuse people. At the end you "summarize" it for your followers by telling them that it means they have to do something you want them to do.

The problem is that the founder of this cult is, possibly, someone a little more powerful that just a regular cult founder.

Christian believers see Islam for what it is...demonic.

Islam is either demonic or Satanic...

If you are not a believer, you are probably leaning toward the democratic position...but this is a religious battle.

To say otherwise is like saying that escaping a shark attack is like avoiding a fish.
