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?
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.
