This is not the first time that you have mistakingly and might I put, naively refered to Islam as a religion in one of the various threads here at freerepublic.

Islam is not a religion. It is an ideology cloaked by a blanket of perceived religion in order to conceal its true nature and that is the political and social controls over society through a strict ideology.

Before you reply, think and answer this. What is the difference between an idealogy and a religion?

Would you say that Christianity, Islam, Scientology, Hinduism, Judaism, the Church of Satan, and the Church of Homer Simpson are all religions and all equal?

A voice of reason. Why don't we summarise what we DO all agree on?

1. That Islamis evil
2. That it is threatening the US

Now, as expat has led the way, why don't we list out exactly WHY it is evil in a nice, civilsed way.

Well, I guess this is really the crux of the matter isn't it? I know this isn't a popular sentiment among theists, but I'd have to say yes, they would be equal. Christianity, Judaism and Islam, would certainly have a longer history, greater tradition, and obviously more believers than the church of Homer. However, in all honesty, I'd be lying to you if I told you that I thought the divinity of Homer was any less credible.
