The point is not "hate the muslims" - it is the use of "religion" as a scam and good business to be in.

Mohammed was simply the L Ron Hubbard of his time.

L Ron Hubbard is Mohammed with better technology, starting in a western "enlightened" society.

Thus there are indeed differences in details, but the essence is the same.

Just as with Jim Jones and the kool-aid drinkers.

It is unfortunate, but for those so inclined to take advantage of vulnerable people by using a belief system, time and again it is demonstrated that there are plenty of people who can be duped by these systems.

Well, you could say the same thing about every religion then, because none of us were there to witness it, and all the scriptures could be the L Ron Hubbard type writings of the day.

What is that old saying? The only difference between a religion and a cult is a thousand years of practice?
