Could it be that perhaps islam really isn't a religion? That it in fact is an extremely clever form of cultural brainwashing forced on unsophisticated arabic tribespeople fourteen hundred years ago by a ruthless military tyrant? In a related question, if Naziism proclaimed a divine source of inspiration, complete with a diety, and fanciful legends of a reward in the afterlife for performing murder, would it enjoy the current constitutional protection given islam? Inquiring minds want to know.

Islam is definitely a "religion".

It is a false religion, one that teaches a false, distorted revelation of God's heart and will. The true revelation of God is found in the life and mission of Jesus Christ.

Careful! You and 'ol Salman Rushdie are going to be roommates! Still you make a very good point - unfortunately there's about a billion adherants to this quasi-religion. Not good.
