Running away how?

As I said, the real definition of a cult is “a religion I really, really don’t like.”

Do you have another, objective definition that would cover Islam that wouldn’t apply equally to other religions that have been widely accepted now or in the past?

It is also, perhaps, relevant that our Constitution prohibits our government from distinguishing between “religions” and “cults.” Individuals, of course, are free to develop their own opinions.

I define cults as religious doctrines that are not completely biblical or overtly anti-biblical.

See above. Read the Bible and then go read the Suras.

Tell me then that they refer to the same moral code.

Bet you can't.

And your source is? The other posters with an opinion differing from yours had a source to cite. Your source is?
