"Islam is a terror ideology."

I agree. But the question wasn't, "Is Islam a terror ideology?". The question was "Is Islam a pagan religion or ideology covered by a vaneer of monotheism?". That was the question that I answered.

Look, you won't find a harsher critic of Islam than myself. I've called Mohammed a "baby raping sonofabitch" before. I called him that because the statement is true. The list of Islam's offenses to any sense of decency is myriad. However I see no purpose in making things up about Islam, i.e that Islam is a pagan religion when it clearly is not. Why make up something when the real horrors and sins of Islam are almost limitless?

The three claims that Islam is 1) a pagan religion, 2) a Christian heresy, and 3) a totalitarian political ideology are not mutually exclusive. But it is hard to argue that most Muslims do not experience Islam as a religion. An integralist religion that demands control over every aspect of life certainly has a totalitarian dimension, although there are Muslim countries (for example Indonesia) that certainly are not totalitarian. One can say that any Muslim country (country where Islam is the state religion) is in danger of becoming totalitarian.

There is a German convert to Islam at University of Muenster who two years ago published a paper arguing that Islam revives the old Gnostic heresy that Christianity had expunged centuries earlier. I wrote about it here:
